IoT Solutions
With IoT, virtually any object, person or even animal can be assigned an IP address and provided with the ability to transfer data over a network. For instance, a patient with an implanted heart monitor, a farm animal with a biochip transponder and an automobile with built-in sensors are all achievable thanks to IoT. Eaton's Electrical Sector and Hydraulics Group engineers are actively looking at integrating the IoT across a growing number of products. By capturing data that exists within components and systems and making it available, these products will be able to provide actionable knowledge to improve performance.

Case Study
Eaton and TriRivers Power Reliable Healthcare IT
The TriRivers system allows doctors to access critical healthcare applications as well as consult in real-time to UW Health for eICU and other services. Top priorities are maintaining a clean, reliable supply of power across the network and receiving warnings and intervening before a potential problem can result in downtime. Data security for patients is another major concern.
Case Study
Streamlining Agricultural Automation with Eaton’s Package Solution
Grossi Electric, a full-service electrical contracting company, was tasked with facilitating the hulling, dehydrating, and preparation processes at a walnut processing plant in Waterford, California. The company aimed to explore innovative options for creating cleaner and more efficient control panels that would eliminate the intensive time, labor, and costs associated with excessive point-to-point wiring. As a rapidly growing electrical contracting company, Grossi Electric was also concerned about managing risk and cost while attempting to establish a new and unfamiliar service offering in a mature market for control products. The walnut processing plant presented a prime learning opportunity for the company to discover the best way to build more tailored control panels for its customers. The challenge was to enable a lean automation process that was smarter, simpler, more effective, and of unique advantage for clients.

Upgrading Apartment Fire Alarm Systems to Meet New Codes: A Case Study
Diversified Funding, Inc. (DFI) recently purchased the Apartments at Remington Pond in West Warwick, Rhode Island, and embarked on a major renovation project, including the installation of new Fire Alarm Systems in each of the seven buildings. The challenge for DFI was to ensure that the apartment building met the latest fire alarm codes, including the new sleeping room requirements listed in both the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 72 National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code and the NFPA 720 Standard for Installation Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detection and Warning Equipment. These codes require that audible appliances in sleeping areas produce different low frequency alarm signals - T3 for fire and T4 for Carbon Monoxide (CO) detection. To meet these requirements, DFI hired PowerComm Systems, a leading fire alarm and security provider in Rhode Island.
