WTL’s connected smart worker platform uses the plug & use Fischer Freedom TM Series in smart garments for industrial workers. These garments have an array of sensors and devices that enable real-time monitoring and data analysis of multiple workers’ health, wellbeing, and exposure to potential hazards and dangers, such as noise, gas, vibration, proximity, plus biometrics sensors, as well as radios, GPS, etc. The data is collected centrally and sent to their dashboard which displays data from all specified workers simultaneously and in real-time. WTL will be running continuous, live demos of its IIoT smart worker ecosystem and dashboard on the booth. • Electrical solar aviation with Raphaël Domjan, founder and pilot of SolarStratos. Fischer Connectors is an official partner and proud provider of the mission-critical connectivity solutions for this Swiss project which aims to shape the future of solar- powered aviation by sending the first manned solar plane to the stratosphere. In addition to an array of assembled and integrated solutions used in customer devices for a wide range of high-tech industries, visitors discovered some of the most innovative applications on the market today engineered to meet wearability and IoT as well as high-speed data transmission requirements – two of the hottest trends in the electronics industry. Fischer Connectors’ product portfolio includes two of the company’s newest and most innovative solutions in these fields: the breakthrough plug & use Fischer Freedom TM Series launched last June, and the new configurations of the ultra-miniature signal & power Fischer MiniMax TM Series compliant with the latest data protocols USB 3.0, Ethernet and HDMI Incident capture Harness with LP360 TM connectors for sensors & devices, unified comms Alerts, reporting and compliance Real-time device validation, monitoring and reporting Analytics and insights Incidents tracking, investigation and analysis, predictive analysis, personal safety coaching In any Internet of Things (IoT) 37 application, it is always the ‘Data’ that matters more than the ‘Things’. This 94 PECM Issue is why the seamless integration of the Eleksen Smart Worker Platform with the Fischer Freedom TM Series connectors is vitally important to optimising the gathering of the data.
