Dear readers,
Editorial The market for sensors and measuring systems will grow faster in
the future than it has in the past. Key developments such as Industry

provide accurate measuring information, thus placing high demands
on flexible, reliable, and low-maintenance application. Date: 8-11 November 2016
Venue: Messe München Stand 541
These developments require completely new solutions and concepts.
Needless to say, energy self-sufficient, wireless sensor networks will
become increasingly important. End users will be able to carry out
measuring activities using cost-effective, low-maintenance sensor
nodes distributed throughout a given space for greater flexibility. In BarGuide® Connector
this case, the following applies: More is better! In other words, it is
possible to monitor flows of resources, energy consumption levels,

wear, and many other parameters.
The actual measuring systems bring together the latest technology
from the fields of low-power wireless communication, low-cost sen-
sory resources, and intelligent energy management. Current research SheerPwr™ Circular Connector
is focusing on self-networking systems with minimum installation
effort. High availability and long lifetime are achieved as a result
of each node absorbing energy from its immediate environment,
passively or actively, e.g. via solar cells, thermal energy converters
or vibration converters. If necessary, a wireless energy transmission
system can be actively connected to the sensor node.
BarKlip® Connector System
This offers numerous advantages: Sensors can be positioned fle-
xibly to achieve the best possible measuring results without being
restricted by cables. In contrast to battery-powered nodes, memory
capacity is unlimited, hazardous waste is not a topic, and batteries
do not have to be constantly maintained, making this solution a very
attractive option when a network is composed of a large number
of sensor nodes. Installing and removing nodes from the network PwrMAX® Connector System
requires a minimum amount of configuration that can also be carried
out automatically.
It is possible to assess an enormous volume of data, while a large
number of ideally positioned sensor nodes continue to work in the
background. They provide a reliable source of information – and this
acts as the basis for every good decision! The same also applies to
cooperation with the distributor. That is one of the reasons why this eHPCE™ Enhanced HPCE® Connector
issue of „Rutroniker“ is again packed with information about the
latest developments – not just in the sensor industry. We hope you
enjoy reading it.

Diodes as its European Distributor of the Year for
the second year running after winning the accolade in
2014. The award from the manufacturer is testament to
huge growth throughout Europe within the distributor’s
network and the large share of design-in products in
Rutronik’s overall sales volume.
Rutronik was able to increase sales of Diodes products
by a further 22 per cent in 2015. Moreover, the share of
design-in products featuring Diodes components rose to
roughly 17 per cent in Rutronik’s overall sales volume.
