Example of AC adapter for IoT/M2M devices

We offer a wide lineup of models with an extended operating temperature range for customers who require AC adapters for IoT/M2M devices and open frame power supplies. At UNIFIVE, we have extensive experience and achievements with these Products, and we are grateful to have received high praise. This page introduces some examples of our custom solutions.

As has recently been gaining attention in many media outlets, the use of IoT technology that connects people, machines, and objects continues to advance daily and is expected to become increasingly widespread in our society.

IoT (Internet of Things) refers to objects communicating via the internet. By using this technology, it is possible to attach components such as sensors to an object and connect it to a network, enabling monitoring of its operational status over the internet, or even controlling it remotely. IoT is being utilized in various situations to help realize a safe and comfortable life.

Particularly in monitoring, large amounts of data obtained from various objects, machines, human activities, and natural phenomena are constantly quantified and collected through sensors and other means, 24 hours a day. To support this, it is essential to build a highly reliable IoT infrastructure, which in turn requires selecting power sources that are both stable and long-lasting.

Unifive has, for many years, collaborated with communications equipment manufacturers to develop high-reliability, long-life technology designed for continuous 24-hour operation. These technologies can be widely applied not only to communication devices but also to the power sources of IoT products. Based on extensive experience, Unifive proposes optimal solutions tailored to the specific environmental requirements in which customers' devices are used. We are also available for individual consultations, so please do not hesitate to contact us.

Case Example: AC Adapter for IoT Devices in Smart Agriculture

For outdoor use in mountainous areas or farms, or in high-temperature greenhouse environments, an AC adapter that meets the environmental conditions is necessary to power IoT devices. Smart agriculture refers to a new form of farming that utilizes IoT through technologies like autonomous robots, sensors, and wearable devices. Even in cases where outdoor use is expected, using models with extended temperature specifications allows products to be used with confidence.
