IoT
One of the new challenges arising with the use of edge, fog, and cloud architectures is the connection of components to each other and to the public cloud. An important element of developing a solution capturing all pieces is the IoT framework susietec
At the field, or edge level, data is collected by industrial computers, e.g. by gateways, which process, filter, analyze and act on these data in real-time right at the device.
Edge, fog and cloud applications demand increasing computing power. The interfaces to sensors or machines often require non-standard solutions. Especially in smaller machines, space is limited or restricted in some dimension and need a special solution.
Today, the connection from the sensor device to the embedded cloud takes place via real-time data communication, on sensor and edge level - for example Industrial Ethernet or fieldbuses - and gateways , which provide the transformation of real time data into the informational area.

6U VPX Power Backplanes
The 6U VPX Power Backplanes from Kontron HARTMANN-WIENER provide rugged, high-reliability power distribution for 6U VPX / OpenVPX systems.
They are designed according to the VITA 62 standard, enabling both AC and DC power input, and delivering all required VPX voltage rails (VS1, VS2, VS3, AUX) to modules. These backplanes are hand-assembled for quality and durability.
In VPX systems, reliable power delivery is critical. Hartmann’s 6U VPX Power Backplanes fulfill this role by distributing all necessary voltage rails (VS1, VS2, VS3 and auxiliary rails) to each module per the VITA 62 standard. They support both AC and DC input power, making them flexible for various environments. With high current capacity and robust stud outputs, these backplanes ensure each slot receives consistent and clean power. The inclusion of sense and control lines through J0/J1 connectors supports advanced power management and health monitoring. Designed for rugged use, they offer wide temperature tolerance and optional coatings for harsh environments.
