periCORE SPE Communication Module

The periCORE SPE communication module combines everything necessary to make the smallest devices such as sensors intelligent and network-compatible:
a powerful microcontroller, a dedicated micro server, a network switch with several ports and a 24V DC voltage regulator, all ready for installation in the smallest of spaces. In most cases, the supplied software only needs to be minimally adapted to the specific device, so that manufacturers of sensors, actuators and other tiny components can make their products intelligent and network-compatible in the shortest possible time and without the need for extensive knowledge development:
The periCORE module is the fastest and cheapest way to make products IoT-enabled. It turns formerly passive sensors and actuators into intelligent devices that can pre-process data and work on an event-driven basis. The entire network technology, including state-of-the-art security and firmware management, is pre-implemented and ready for use. periCORE enables rebranding (integration without naming our name) and adaptation to your own devices with minimal development effort (low-code). Anyone can develop a customized firmware for the periCORE with the complementary development kit.
