Sensry and LEGIC Identsystems have collaborated to develop the NextGenXDK multi-sensor device. The formula enables quick implementation for various IoT applications that demand secure and managed sensor access, along with end-to-end data security.
Working out-of-the-box, the multi-sensor device combines up to 20 sensor outputs with secure mobile access control technology from LEGIC. It enables creation of secure, permission-based IoT sensor deployments managed by standard iOS or Android devices. NextGenXDK fully integrates with the LEGIC Connect mobile security platform enabling system operators to create, distribute, and revoke mobile access credentials as well as securely monitor and configure sensors and IoT devices over-the-air. It works both on- and offline.
“Obtaining reliable Industrial IoT data depends on linking verified users with trusted sensors and objects so that their interactions are authorised and accountable”, said Dirk Behrens, a head of sales and marketing at Sensry, “Our secure NextGenXDK multi-sensor device is ideal for business-critical IoT monitoring applications in logistics, power generation, manufacturing, healthcare, finance, government, transportation, aviation, and high-security access control.”
Versatility is at the core of the NextGenXDK’s design which monitors 20 different measurands derived from an integrated accelerometer, magnetometer, gyroscope, humidity/temperature/pressure, acoustic noise, vibration, air quality, and light sensors. It includes a wide array of encrypted communication options including WiFi, Bluetooth Low Energy, ZigBee, Thread, Matter, USB (Universal Serial Bus), near-field communication (NFC), and diverse serial interfaces, such as RS485/Modbus.
To withstand industrial environments, the NextGenXDK boasts a ruggedised design including a robust, water-resistant enclosure and an industry-standard M8 connector. This ensures reliability in even the most challenging environments. Customers are empowered to extend the product’s capabilities through customisable real-time operating system (RTOS) firmware and the optionally provided software development kit (SDK), enabling tailor-made solutions adapted to specific project requirements.
After prototype completion of the envisioned solution, purpose-built sensor modules with only required functionalities, thus size and cost optimised, can be mass-produced by Sensry.
