Case study of AC/DC Power Adapter for IoT/M2M devices

For customers who require AC/DC Power Adapter and open-frame power supplies for IoT/M2M devices, we offer a wide lineup of models with expanded operating temperature ranges. At UNIFIVE, we have extensive experience and a strong track record with these Products, and thanks to your support, we have received high praise. On this page, we introduce some examples of our custom solutions.

Recently, as highlighted in many media outlets, the use of IoT technology connecting people, machines, and objects is advancing day by day and is expected to continue spreading throughout our society.

IoT (Internet of Things) refers to objects communicating via the Internet. By using this technology, for example, by attaching components such as sensors to an object and connecting it to a network, it becomes possible to monitor the operating status of that object through the Internet or control it remotely. IoT is utilized in various situations to realize a safe and comfortable life.

Particularly in monitoring, vast amounts of information obtained from various objects, machines, human activities, and natural phenomena are quantified 24 hours a day and collected through sensors and other devices. To achieve this, building a highly reliable IoT infrastructure is essential, and accordingly, it is necessary to select power supplies that offer high reliability and long service life.

UNIFIVE has developed highly reliable and long-life technologies designed for continuous 24-hour operation in cooperation with telecommunications equipment manufacturers over many years. These technologies can be widely applied not only to telecommunications equipment but also to power supplies for IoTProducts. UNIFIVE proposes optimal solutions based on extensive experience according to the requirements of each environment in which customers' equipment is used. We also provide individual consultations, so please feel free to contact us.

Case Study: AC/DC Power Adapter for IoT Devices in Smart Agriculture

When it is necessary to supply power to IoT devices for outdoor use in mountainous areas or farms, or in high-temperature greenhouse cultivation, AC/DC Power Adapter that meet the required environmental conditions are essential. Smart agriculture refers to a new form of farming that utilizes IoT, including autonomous robot operation, sensors, and wearable devices. Even when outdoor use is assumed, products can be used with confidence by adopting models with extended temperature specifications.

Example of Recommended Model for IoT Network Equipment: "Extended Temperature Recommended Model"

As one example, in the development of IoT network equipment, there are requests to use devices over a wider temperature range. Below, we introduce the "Extended Temperature Recommended Model."
