wherever SIM GmbH is one of the world's leading providers of modern and secure M2M SIM solutions. At SIDO in Lyon, the Hamburg-based company will be presenting its SIM cards designed for machine-to-machine communication and their benefits for applications in the fields of robotics and Industry 4.0. In addition to real-time data transmission, this includes secure remote access to robots, drones and machines. Global companies such as HP and SolarCleano are already networking their robots with SIM cards from wherever SIM.
Robotics has made remarkable progress in recent years and has become a central component of modern industrial and technological solutions. Reliable and secure data transmission via M2M SIM cards between devices and systems plays a central role in this development. They provide a reliable and stable connection for the transmission of large amounts of data at any time, regardless of location. This is essential for robotics applications in particular, where many sensors and actuators continuously send and receive data. From precise manufacturing in Industry 4.0 to autonomous vehicles and intelligent service and auxiliary robots, they all require seamless connectivity for maximum safety and efficiency.
A stable global data connection via mobile communications
M2M SIM cards have been specially developed for communication between machines and devices. Once used, they enable the data connections required for the exchange. The special feature: within a country, robots with the M2M SIM cards from wherever SIM can use the mobile networks of different operators (national roaming). This makes them ideal for mobile robot applications or for autonomous vehicles and drones that move over long distances or are used in different countries. In industrial quality, the SIM cards are also particularly robust and optimized for use in demanding environments such as production facilities.
Mobile construction layout robot from HP networked worldwide with wherever SIM
Hewlett Packard (HP) already relies on the M2M SIM cards from wherever SIM. The HP SitePrint construction layout robot, which prints floor plans directly onto construction site floors all over the world and thus significantly shortens the surveying process, can be contacted by HP support at any time thanks to the SIM cards. In over 70% of cases, the SIM cards enable HP support in Spain to rectify faults remotely within minutes. Reliable remote access significantly reduces maintenance costs and downtime. The global coverage of the SIM cards ensures that the robots work reliably worldwide. In addition, the M2M SIM cards offer features such as free pausing and data pooling, which further increases flexibility and cost efficiency for HP.
SolarCleano: Transmitting and receiving data worldwide in real time
SolarCleano develops and sells robot-assisted solutions for cleaning and maintaining solar power modules. The M2M SIMs from wherever SIM are also used in the autonomous SolarCleano B1A robot. The robot, which is currently responsible for cleaning ground-mounted systems with several gigawatts of solar power in various countries in Asia, the Middle East and Australia, is connected to the headquarters in Luxembourg 24/7 via the IoT SIM cards. This means that information on the robot's status and activities is available at all times, regardless of where it is currently being used.
