New product name (www.computer-automation.de)
EnOcean becomes Dolphin
For its wireless switches with Energy Harvester, EnOcean GmbH wants to use other wireless standards in addition to the EnOcean wireless technology it has developed itself. To avoid confusion, a new name was needed.

Energy management (www.computer-automation.de)
Esima' project develops energy self-sufficient sensor technology
In order to optimize the energy consumption of production facilities, all relevant consumption data must be recorded and analyzed. The 'Esima' research project developed a concept for energy management based on easy-to-install sensor technology.

Building automation (www.computer-automation.de)
Battery-free sparking
Since 2016, the EnEV 2014 has stipulated a reduced primary energy requirement of 25% for new buildings. In view of the aspects of cost reduction and flexibility, building automation based on wireless technology is coming to the fore as an alternative to new insulation or heating.
