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

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

As has recently attracted attention in many media outlets, the use of IoT technology that connects 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, sensors and other components can be attached to an object and connected to a network, allowing its operating status to be monitored via the Internet or the object to be controlled remotely. IoT is utilized in various situations to realize a safe and comfortable lifestyle.

Particularly in monitoring, large volumes of information obtained from various objects, machines, human activities, and natural phenomena are quantified 24 hours a day without interruption and collected through sensors and other devices. To achieve this, it is essential to build a highly reliable IoT infrastructure, 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 24-hour continuous operation through many years of cooperation with telecommunications equipment manufacturers. 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 respond to 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, an AC/DC Power Adapter that meets the required environmental conditions is needed. Smart agriculture refers to a new form of farming that utilizes IoT through the use of autonomous robots, sensors, wearable devices, and more. Even for assumed outdoor use, adopting models with extended temperature specifications allows Products to be used with confidence.
