In modern electronics manufacturing, controlling environmental and production parameters is key to quality. AdaPEdge makes it possible to digitize existing systems with manageable effort. At the heart of this innovation is the Secure Smart Sub-Edge Module (S³EM)—a six-layer, ARM-based multilayer module measuring just 22 x 20 x 1 mm³. The third hardware generation already integrates 9-axis sensor technology (gyroscope, magnetometer, acceleration), precision temperature sensor (±0.08 °C accuracy), as well as three switchable antennas for robust 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity. The unique feature: This module includes interfaces for connecting external sensors and multiple level converters, allowing sensors with different digital levels to be connected. As a module, the assembly can also be mounted on a carrier board. The closed ecosystem of sensor mesh and edge module can be integrated into virtually any existing manufacturing IT system via MQTT. Added value is created especially when retrofitting systems with limited digitalization: AdaPEdge makes process deviations visible early on, detects substandard or counterfeit materials, and links quality metrics with environmental and machine data.
