    Details of Murata Booth


    1. Low Power Wide Area (LPWA)

    Murata is displaying communication modules incorporating LPWA communication standards, which combine extended-range data transmission and decreased power consumption. From process management to logistics and warehouse management, LPWA technology offers diverse applications for smart-factory automation.

    2. Predictive Maintenance with Vibration Sensor Node and Gateway*

    Murata offers a small IP65-rated device for monitoring vibrations and surface temperatures in critical rotating machines and other industrial machinery. An embedded processor in the sensor node sends data wirelessly via a gateway. The wireless vibration sensor node and gateway support signal measurement, data provision, etc. for diagnostic purposes and predictive maintenance, such as early detection of machine breakdown, reduced engineering labor and maintenance costs, minimized downtime, and improved operational reliability and worker safety.

    3. Work-In-Progress Monitoring with RFID Technology

    RFID technology will play a major role in future smart factories, enabling devices to communicate in real time via radio waves with manufacturing systems hosted on the cloud. Murata offers solutions for smart factories, logistics and human management that connect things in factories (products, production equipment, etc.) to the Internet for higher industrial efficiency and new business creation. The exhibit is presenting cases of these solutions being used with passive RFID products (tags) in smart factories.

    4. Assets Tracking with BLE Mesh Solution*

    This Murata solution is an indoor positioning system that uses Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) radio waves for location identification and flow-line analysis in indoor environments such as factories and warehouses. The BLE tag transmits radio waves periodically to track both assets and workers. Murata’s unique receivers capture the transmissions and forward them to a gateway through the company’s BLE mesh multi-hopping solution. Murata’s SyCloud calculates each tag position based on information from the gateway. Murata’s uniquely simple wireless system is easy to install, another benefit for factory environments.

    *Sold in Japan but currently unavailable in the Indian market

    Murata will also exhibit its team of demonstration robots, The Murata Cheerleaders. The popular robots incorporate the company’s latest sensor, communication and highly advanced group control technologies, which reflect the endless possibilities of electronics, including technologies for improved automotive safety and other smart-city applications.
