Wiring-related Issues in FA
Issue 1
Heavy Wiring Workload
Cables must be installed for every sensor, creating significant labor during initial setup
and layout changes.
Ongoing cable inspection and maintenance are also required to prevent downtime.
Issue 2
Sensor Placement Constraints
Wiring limits sensor installation in areas with complex motion, such as robotic joints and rotary tables, restricting flexible layouts.
Issue 3
Downtime Caused by Cable Failure
Cables wear and degrade, especially around moving robot parts. A single cable failure can stop the entire line and disrupt production plans.
Eliminating the Burden of Wiring
By making sensors wireless, we significantly reduce installation effort and eliminate the risk of
downtime caused by cable failures.
Wiring-related maintenance and adjustments are no longer required, reducing maintenance
time.
Sensor placement constraints in complex moving and rotating parts are also eliminated, enabling
more flexible process design.
Joint Development Case
"In collaboration with SMC Corporation, a global leader in pneumatic control equipment, we developed a fully wireless auto switch. Powered wirelessly by our proprietary AirPlug technology, it operates without cables or batteries, eliminating the risk of failures caused by cable breakage."
WPT Evaluation Kit
A modular platform designed to accelerate PoC and prototyping using 920 MHz RF wireless power
transfer.
The kit includes both a transmitter and a receiver, enabling immediate wireless powering and
operation of sensors and IoT devices.
All RF and power management circuits are pre-optimized, eliminating the need for complex
impedance matching or power design.
Simply connect your application circuit to get started.
