Reliable Networking of Household Appliances

The task

Networking household appliances is an important market of the future for manufacturers. This regularly involves connecting sensors in order to monitor and control particular conditions. A representative example is the wireless connection of cooking sensors with induction hobs.
Cooking sensors promise meals prepared without boiling over or burning. Continuous temperature measurement makes it possible to regulate the heat automatically so that, depending on the programme, the perfect temperature is maintained. If such cooking sensors are now to be connected wirelessly to induction hobs, a number of technological challenges have to be solved. In particular, this calls for the reliable integration of a radio technology that, alongside communication between the sensors and the hob, also allows several pots and hobs to be controlled simultaneously.

The solution

For appliance manufacturers who want to give their customers reliable wireless networking of their devices via Bluetooth, we recommend a secure design built on our NTSecureNode BLE100. NewTec works with the leading semiconductor manufacturers in the field of radio technology and finds the newest and best solution for every application. Our experts advise you on chip selection and develop the system architecture as well as the software for the sensor and its counterpart. On request, we also take care of radio approval and Bluetooth qualification for your product.
