Duwei Meters Technology was founded in 1996. The company is focusing on meters technology. Currently Duwei provides meters solutions used in machinary, oil & gas, utilities, chemistry, ships and boats, aerospace and automotive industries. Duwei is currently covering pressure meters, temperature meters, humidity meters, location sensors and so on.

Grid Connect has offered sensors for over five years, and while the products have been well-received, customers repeatedly expressed their desire for something more affordable and diverse. By combining the cloud with battery-powered sensors and Wi-Fi, we created the ability for people to better monitor their homes and businesses.

Data acquisition devices for IoT & Big Data applications form the backbone of our products. Energy management is an especial core competence, for which we have advanced solutions. ionSign is platform agnostic, our products communicate to your bespoke data system, or the commercial cloud of your choice - MS Azure, AWS, Bluemix, or our own ionSign Cloud.

With almost a billion devices currently connected to control networks in industrial settings, application designers are seeking an effective, safe and simple migration path to the IIoT. Echelon’s IzoT platform and new FT 6050 SoC let companies build IIoT solutions that interoperate with existing devices while also supporting new IP-enabled ones—which reduces their SKU counts, broadens application support and lets them get their products to market more quickly and safely. The multiprotocol IzoT software running on the FT 6050 SoC provides designers a fast, low-risk path to market for IIoT products that are reliable and both backward- and forward-compatible with the full range of communications, transport and control networking standards. As an example, designers can use the IzoT-enabled FT 6050 to create and deploy building automation applications that simultaneously support BACnet, LonWorks and IP-enabled devices.

A huge part of the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) applications can significantly benefit from context awareness, in particular location awareness. This information might pertain to the location of the user, to the location of devices/appliances or both of them and hence enable a lot of powerful applications, for example, in hospitals to track equipment, doctors, and patients or in industrial environments to track and trace persons and assets. However, IoT research rather focuses on architectures, which includes components for context awareness, but pays less attention to how and with which accuracy context is achieved. Many algorithms and approaches have been proposed for indoor RF-based localization; however, low cost and accurate indoor localization is still very challenging. Many research and commercial solutions claim very high accuracies, which can, however, only be achieved in a very specific setting under ideal conditions. Adbanticsys Research Department is working on the development of cost-effective indoor localization solutions in real-life environments such as warehouses or underground mining sites.

In the age of industry 4.0, pharmaceutical companies are facing opportunities and challenges from global industrial transformation. Traditional manufacturing companies are transforming into smart manufacturing. Duwei provides strong research and manufacturing capacities for pharmaceutical manufacturing. Duwei is working on a hollistic Internet of Things solution for smart manufacturing in pharmaceutical industry.
