IoT news | Semtech’s LoRa® devices and the LoRaWAN® standard integrated in self-powered electromechanical controller

Progress smart factoriesSIPOAL is a smart single point lubricator that uses LoRaWAN® for constant real-time connectivity.

Semtech Corporation, announced its partnership with Enthu Technology Solutions India Pvt Ltd, a next-generation technology company helping enterprises and startups reshape their businesses for the digitally connected era, and Xorowin Mechatronics, a technology company focused on manufacturing of cyber-physical systems for industrial automation needs.

Semtech’s LoRa® Devices and LoRaWAN® Offering real-time monitoring for Enthus and Xorowin’s SIPOAL self-powered electromechanical controller for industrial use.

“With our launch of SIPOAL with LoRaWAN integration, Xorowin is committed to supporting customers worldwide in reducing operational costs and improving the uptime and productivity of their machines,” said Girimurugan Srinivasaraghavan, CEO at Xorowin Mechatronics. “LoRaWAN enables us to provide solutions that meet today’s automation needs through constant connectivity that meets the industry’s high performance standards.”

SIPOAL consists of an Internet of Things (IoT) based smart single-point lubrication unit and a self-powered electromechanical controller that automatically delivers the precise volume of lubricant to the lubrication point of machines at regular user-programmed time intervals.

“The SIPOAL smart lubricator is a unique product for the industrial IoT segment,” said Shanmugam Kanagaraj, director of operations at Enthu Technology Solutions India Pvt Ltd. “Through our work with Xorowin Mechatronics and Semtech for its LoRa devices, delivering this solution sets the needle for Enthu Tech and the industrial market as a whole for the solution’s long-haul capabilities with LoRaWAN.”

According to Xorowin Mechatronics, the SIPOAL smart lubrication cartridge has been deployed in industries developing textiles, automotive looms and sugar cane. In addition, SIPOAL’s smart lubrication cartridge solution can be used in all types of industries where single-point or multi-point lubrication is required, such as steel, cement, food and beverage, paper and printing. By implementing LoRaWAN, SIPOAL is able to lubricate machines at runtime without any impact on production and can be configured in real time through a mobile and web platform.

“As industrial plants are constantly striving to improve productivity and performance, Semtech’s LoRa devices and the LoRaWAN standard are the best solutions that meet the automation needs for a smart factory,” said Marc Pégulu, vice president of IoT product marketing and strategy for Semtech’s Wireless and Sensing Products Group.

“The SIPOAL solution from Enthu Tech and Xorowin Mechatronics demonstrates the capabilities of LoRaWAN to ensure limited to no downtime relies on state-of-the-art machine shops today.”
