Smart Industries

2018 was another successful year for STMicroelectronics at CES and an exciting year to showcase our latest technologies and demonstrations within Internet of Things, Smart Driving, and Smart Industry.  Below you will find material on Smart Industry technologies and demonstrations showcased at the event, as well as photos and video taken during the exhibition.

ST is at the leading edge of the movement towards the digital transformation of factories and manufacturing processes, making industry more efficient, more intelligent and aware, and more connected. Highlighted solutions include industrial monitoring, predictive maintenance, high-performance 3D printing, robotics, and sensor nodes with IoT cloud connectivity.

Ultrasound Inspection for Condition Monitoring

The high frequency audio signature of a gas leakage can be detected via embedded processing of ultrasound captured by analog and digital MEMS microphones

  • Precise ultrasound processing can be easily achieved with ST industrial IoT system platforms
  • The demo previews some of the capability that will be featured by a soon-to-be-announced ST industrial product

ST Parts: MEMS microphones

Vibration Monitoring for Predictive Maintenance

Inertial and environmental sensors connected via IO-Link are used to detect the state of the motor, making it possible to predict degradation or failure

  • Vibration monitoring with cost-effective MEMS accelerometer over IO-Link industrial connectivity
  • STM32F4 microcontroller performs local real-time frequency/time domain analysis for early motor failure detection

ST Parts: STEVAL-IDP005V1 (ISM330DLC, LPS22HB, HTS221, STM32F4, L6362A) is fixed on the motors and is connected via IO-Link to the STEVAL-IDP004V1 (L6360, STM32F2). The two motors are driven using one dual motor control board STEVAL-IHM042V1 (L6230, STM32F3)

Robotics SDK (MIP Robotics)

Demonstration of the ST Motor Control platform in a SCARA robot from MIP Robotics

  • Robot arm can move the objects with 0.1 mm precision
  • Each robot joint is controlled by an ST motor control solution using STM32 MCU and L6230 built on the ST motor control development platform
  • The motor controller nodes communicate with the main controller over CAN bus implemented in the STM32

ST Parts: STM32, L6230, Half-bridge gate drivers
