STW Announces a Whitepaper on Internet of Things for Off Highway

As IoT (Internet of Things) begins to manifest its promise in the Off Highway industry, it has become imperative for manufacturers and end users to develop a practical strategy and implementation roadmap for maximizing benefits from IoT. This whitepaper, based on STW's work with several companies in the field, highlights an implementation roadmap, strategy recommendation and an overview of the various options, architectures and technologies.

As the Internet of Things begins to manifest its potential in several industries, it has become imperative for manufacturers of Mobile Machines for Off Highway to create a strategy to maximize the benefits of IoT. The latest whitepaper from STW, a premier provider for mobile automation, connectivity and electrification solutions, addresses this need by providing a useful road map and best practices for implementing IoT for Off Highway machines.

In recent years, every manufacturer of Off Highway working vehicles has become aware of the importance of connectivity and data management, and the rapid evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT). These topics cover a broad range of functions, technologies and challenges. Titled ‘Mobile Machines and Off Highway IoT - or Ive Looked at Clouds from Both Sides Now the white paper organizes and addresses these issues to assist manufacturers in developing an IoT strategy.
Connectivity and data management technology (IoT) may be added on a vehicle as original equipment by an OEM, or it may be added as an after-market capability by distributors or fleet owners to meet their needs.
The whitepaper includes a roadmap for developing an IoT strategy, an overview of available technologies, and recommendations for optimal architecture and connectivity.
In the world of mobile machinery IoT, there are three general categories of stakeholders and they may have very different perspectives and needs. : Manufacturers or OEMs, Distributors, Dealerships, Fleet Owners, Rental Companies and End User. The white paper covers use cases for all three stake holders.

XLamp® XP-L Photo Red S Line LEDs Set a New Standard in Horticulture Lighting

Designed to deliver exceptional efficiency, unmatched durability and seamless system upgrades, XLamp XP-L Photo Red S Line LEDs are optimized for high-performance applications in greenhouses, vertical farms and other large-scale growing operations. These LEDs achieve an impressive typical Wall-Plug Efficiency (WPE) of 83.5% at 700 mA and 25°C. This efficiency allows horticulture luminaires to deliver the same output with less power consumption, translating into lower operating costs and optimized designs that use up to 35% fewer Photo Red LEDs. Cree LED's XP-L Photo Red LEDs, built with advanced S Line technology, set a new standard in sulfur and corrosion resistance, offering an extended lifespan and reliable performance. These features significantly reduce maintenance costs while providing consistent, high-quality lighting throughout critical growth cycles. Additionally, a consistent platform offers easy integration with a drop-in replacement for existing XP-based luminaires eliminating the need for reengineering due to footprint changes. With the same 3.45 x 3.45 mm XP footprint as the XP-G3 Photo Red S Line LEDs, the XP-L Photo Red ensures a hassle-free upgrade for existing designs.
