In a world with limited resources and confined space, the understanding and exploitation of our physical assets, capital goods, infrastructures, industrial equipments and machinery, is a crucial challenge for years to come. HIKOB’s mission is to develop and provide wireless autonomous multi-points data acquisition system to capture information on the field and learn from reality, in all contexts and conditions. HiKoB wireless instrumentation systems are at the heart of mission-critical applications for smart cities, intelligent transport systems, intelligent parking, structural health monitoring and protection and security systems. With the HiKoB OpenLab platform, HiKoB provides to the research & innovation community powerful hardware and software tools to prototype, develop and deploy innovative applications in the field of embedded wireless measure: motion capture, AHRS, biomechanics, biologging and robotics.

Adaptive Wireless Solutions believes that wireless mesh sensor networks are starting to revolutionise the way industrial and commercial organisations monitor, manage and understand their processes and environment. By cost-effectively collecting, evaluating and analysing more relevant data, companies are able to: reduce operating costs, improve productivity, more readily comply with regulatory requirements. The Netbiter EC310 communication gateway connects to field equipment via several connection methods: Serial RS-232/485, Modbus RTU, Modbus-TCP or EtherNet/IP. The gateway sends data to the cloud-based Netbiter Argos data center via Ethernet communication. On-board I/O ports on the EC310 gateway provides the option to connect sensors and additional equipment to the system.

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.
