Hewlett Packard Enterprise removes barriers for mass adoption of IoT
Hewlett Packard Enterprise has announced new innovations that help organisations rapidly , securely and cost effectively deploy Internet of Things ( IoT ) devices in wide area , enterprise and industrial deployments . These solutions include : HPE mobile virtual network enabler HPE universal IoT platform Aruba ClearPass universal profiler Aruba 2540 series switches Edgeline Systems expand partnerships in edge computing and integrated control
As organisations integrate IoT into mainstream operations , the onboarding and management of IoT devices remains costly and inefficient particularly at large scale . Concurrently , the diverse variations of IoT connectivity , protocols and security , prevent organisations from easily aggregating data across a heterogeneous fabric of connected things .
To deliver on IoT ’ s promise of deriving valuable insights from billions of connected things , HPE is helping organisations optimise the lifecycle of IoT devices . By reducing IoT connectivity costs and translating device communications to a common language , HPE is arming organisations with tools to dramatically change the economics and viability of large scale IoT deployments .

Modular connector for CAN networks
Harting has added a CAN ( Controller Area Network ) module to its range of Han- Modular ID smart connectors . CAN is a bus system for automation and control featuring high functional reliability and the ability to operate in demanding and harsh conditions .
The Han-Modular ID module allows machine level components to be identified with little effort and integrated into a production network . The revision status of a drive and its operating parameters are just some of items of information that can be stored to ensure reliable identification .
The CAN ID module is suitable for industrial applications and supports the standardised DS301 communication profile , which governs how devices exchange data in CAN systems . In addition to features such as status and diagnostic displays and automatic baud rate , an extensive object directory ensures that customers will find sufficient space for their data .
For the future , Harting ’ s strategy towards smarter connectors includes an ID module for Industrial Ethernet based networks , along with integrated sensors and media converters in modular connectors . For further information visit : www . harting . com
