SON, NETHERLANDS -- Neways Electronics is participating in two major European projects in the field of Internet of Things (IoT), with the beneficiaries ranging from engineers at major corporations to local farmers.
The decision leverages the EMS company's plan, launched in 2016, to develop expertise in the budding world of Internet-enabled communications.
One such project is INTER-IoT, which concentrates on interoperability among different IoT-platforms. Neways participated within this EU project to develop, implement and test in practice an open source framework with associated methodology and tools to enable interoperability of heterogeneous IoT platforms. The EMS service provider contributed across the full breadth of the project, with a focus on the implementation and integration. Pilots have been rolled out to optimize the logistic, safety and lighting infrastructure within the port of Valencia.
Also, the firm is working on IoF2020, which explores the potential of IoT technologies for the European food and farming industry. Neways connected smart weeding machines to the internet to enable organic farmers to obtain detailed information on weed pressure per individual plant to optimize their weeding cycles.
