HOST, the Home of Skills & Technology based at MediaCity, has formed a partnership with IFM Electronic to provide guidance and support.
IFM Electronic is one of the world’s largest and most innovative sensor and sensing system suppliers, and will support members of HOST in Salford along with businesses across all its innovation programmes.
The sensor business, which is headquartered in Essen, Germany, has supplied the labs at HOST with two demonstrators, allowing companies to draw on the latest tech to test and verify IoT business use cases (pictured, below).
HOST will collaborate with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and CloudRail to provide an end-to-end solution from industrial sensors to AWS services. They say it will enable companies to connect industrial machinery in hours where before it would take weeks.
