Is your IoT product reliable?
Wireless technology is used in many different contexts to create new, innovative IoT solutions benefitting industry and society. We lead the way helping companies with insight and expertise to ensure that these development projects become successful. Here, reliability is a keyword. In this edition of Agenda you can hear how Danfoss is developing robust, wireless products and get inspiration to use IoT do-it-yourself tests in your IoT development projects, so that the products become robust and reliable in use.

Danfoss uses IoT do-it-yourself to test new wireless thermostat
Danfoss' development department used DELTA's new IoT do-it-yourself test facilities for product pretesting, aiming to develop better wireless products targeted at customers' needs and requirements. IoT do-it-yourself test has both financial and development-related benefits.
Simple rules – but many requirements for MIL products
It is well known that in the military industry there are extremely stringent requirements for robustness and documentation. The delivery of small quantities and expensive designs, make it tempting to use “civilian” products, but can they be used?
5 tips for more effective HALT
HALT testing is an effective tool for identifying weaknesses in a product’s design. Here are five good tips for getting more out of the time and resources you invest in the HALT process.
Jewellery designers create new pregnancy device for men
Students at KEA have created a jewellery device which allows partners of pregnant women to feel the movements of their unborn baby. IdemoLab introduced the students to hardware and designing for meaningfulness for smart products, and helped one group of students create a company.
IoT and reliability
When talking about reliability with regard to mechanical and electronic products, there is a tendency to treat it the same way as thermo-mechanical effects and faults related to product ageing and wear. But which new types of fault are introduced with the Internet of Things (IoT), and what can be done to prevent them?
DELTA is a member of the newly established European AIOTI
The rapidly growing Internet of Things (IoT) has accelerated the establishment of a new European organisation, AIOTI, which works to promote dialogue between different IoT players. A number of major, global companies and research centres – among others DELTA – have recognised a need for the association and are already active members.
Policy Group: IEEE EPPI wg on ICT
In a world where everything moves faster and faster, it is important to hold onto the fact that there are backgrounds that you need to take into consideration when discussing changes at the political level. Ensuring that political decisions take the technology’s development, requirements, and limitations into consideration, is the main focus of the policy group ’IEEE EPPI working group on ICT (European Public Policy Initiative working group on Information and Communication Technology).
Drone inspection of hard to reach areas
An increasing number of companies today are using drone technology for visual inspection, as it is a cost-conscious and effective way to inspect inaccessible areas indoor and outdoor – both offshore and onshore.
