When it comes to drilling, mining or maritime operations, keeping tabs on machinery performance and environmental conditions in real-time is crucial. Temperature, humidity, gas levels, vibration, structural health are only some of the examples. As technology evolves, the list of underwater and subterranean sensors and the data they produce is only growing!
 
Communication with sensors submerged underwater or buried underground presents a unique set of challenges. As water and soil absorb electromagnetic waves, attenuating signals over short distances and restricting signal propagation, reliable connections without dedicated wiring are tough to establish.
 
Power lines provide a robust medium for communication, capable of withstanding environmental challenges such as water ingress, soil conditions, and electromagnetic interference. By transmitting data through power lines, PLC leverages existing infrastructure to ensure reliable communication with sensors deployed in harsh underground or underwater environments, where traditional communication methods may be impractical or unreliable.
 
Enter Semitech Semiconductor. Using our programmable technology, we have developed a robust PLC solution tailored for drilling, mining and maritime applications, achieving point-to-point communication over long distances, while maintaining high data rates and low latencies. The solution is being successfully used in real-life.
 
At Semitech, our connectivity expertise goes to great depths 😉. Dive deeper into what we offer here: https://semitechsemi.com/

We all know that reliable communication plays a pivotal role in making industrial systems “smart.” The challenge lies in the prevalence of outdated infrastructure within many industrial settings, posing barriers to seamless integration with IoT technologies.

The solution? Integration of two “no new wires” technologies – PLC and wireless into a combined hybrid network. This innovative approach allows for reliable communication to bridge the gap between legacy systems and modern connectivity requirements. Here at Semitech, we are actively contributing to the development of the industry’s hybrid mesh standard and have our hybrid technology deployed in millions of nodes.

According to a recent article in Transport Topics, with modern trucks and in-cab technology now generating vast amounts of data, fleet telematics providers are beginning to harness AI to transform that information into valuable business insights to improve efficiency and productivity.

Our view? Trailer telematics in particular present special challenges in the form of connectivity between the trailer and the tractor. At Semitech, we believe that PLC technology can address this challenge uniquely well. In fact, PLC can be effectively used within a trailer to connect sensors to a gateway without any special wiring or the need to change batteries. It is also more secure and guarantees there are no cross-data leaks from adjacent trailers. And finally, ABS in trucks/trailers is an important data source for telematics – and the only way to obtain this data is through the PLC4TRUCKS standard.
