FCL Components America

Asset tags may be tiny, but they play an outsize role in making efficient use of things that move around in a building or on a campus, such as medical devices, warehouse equipment, and mobile computers. They help keep people safe as well. But to do their best work, asset tags must be economical as well as easy to install, use, and maintain. FCL Components offers a large family of asset tracking IoT solutions to fulfill all the different roles asset trackers can perform, including anchors, dongles, and slim tags with panic buttons. They’re battery powered to ensure an easy, low-cost installation and scalable solution for a wide range of tracking needs, and feature built-in, self-healing Wirepas Mesh 2.4 GHz network connectivity. The lineup includes: ? Coin cell battery-operated asset tag – FWM8BLZ07P ? Endurance line of tags with 10-year battery life – FWM8BLZ08T ? USB dongle, powered by host device – FWM8BLZ09T ? Slim tag with IP67 rating, great for rugged environments – FWM8BLZ14T Learn more about our asset tag family in these links: ?? Coin cell battery operated tag: https://lnkd.in/g93dEYER ??

Healthcare facilities are under tremendous pressure to provide high quality care while using assets and resources efficiently. So when University Medical Centre Utrecht (UMC) in Utrecht, The Netherlands, started looking for an asset tracking solution, they had a long list of requirements. Asset tracking enables employees to quickly locate and get a status on all sorts of equipment, from ventilators to thermometers, no matter where they are on campus. Accessing needed equipment not only saves lives, but helps reduce inventory costs by ensuring items are intelligently located across the facility. UMC Utrecht’s requirements included easy installation, low maintenance, suitability for medical settings, high location accuracy, ability to add and support many types of devices, and scalability. They also wanted to be able to easily add future use cases such as temperature or CO2 monitoring. The facility chose FCL Components USB dongles, FWM8BLZ08T tags, and Z08 anchors, which use self-healing Wirepas mesh network connectivity and deploy without cabling. The slim FWM8BLZ08T tags also feature panic button technology, so they can be used for workers to quickly summon help to their exact location. The FCL Components Wirepas asset tracking solution helps UMC Utrecht ensure they have the right equipment, at the right time, to deliver the right level of patient care.

We're excited to share an important update from our partner -Norada- at the American Safety Alliance!?

It’s really that easy. FCL Components Wirepas Mesh IoT devices can be installed and configured quickly and simply, no drilling or cable pulls required. We made a quick video to show how it’s done. Our family of IoT devices include tags, anchor nodes, sensors, a dongle, and a gateway that use the Wirepas protocol, called Wirepas Mesh. Our Wirepas Mesh IoT network devices offer: ? Decentralized, self-healing networks ? No limitations on the network scale ? Battery operation FCL Components Wirepas Mesh networks are in use all over the world for asset tracking, environmental management, smart lighting, indoor navigation and more. Those users are monitoring things like temperature, humidity, sound, light, air pressure, position, and CO2, as well as network diagnostics, from a convenient online dashboard. See for yourself how straightforward it is to set up and use a mesh network with FCL Components Wirepas Mesh IoT devices. ??

The Wirepas Mesh network protocol is packed with power and potential. So it takes a high-performance wireless radio module to unlock all of its capabilities. FCL Components FWMBLZ23 Bluetooth 5.3 wireless radio module was designed to do just that. It’s a drop-in replacement to our popular FWM7BLZ20B module. The FWMBLZ23 offers the same dimensions and pin layout, but a lot more power: ? 4x the memory (256KB RAM) ? 2x the flash memory (1MB) ? 4x the coverage area, through use of Bluetooth 5.3 ? 2x the transmitting power (+8dBm) with lower power consumption Increased memory and flash memory give designers the option to leverage the Matter royalty-free home automation connectivity standard as well as the Thread? IP-based networking protocol, with ample memory space for users’ applications. That makes the FWMBLZ23 Bluetooth 5.3 wireless radio module a great fit for electric appliances and electronic products that require personal area communication. Additional interfaces include NFC, UART, GPIO, I2S, PDM, QSPI, TWI, and ADC, facilitating the design of many embedded applications with a single module. Check out these resources to learn more: ??

The quality of FCL Components Clear Film V2 could not be more clear—literally. We developed Clear Film V2 to bring virtually the same level of clarity to resistive touch panels that you see on PCAP panels with a glass substrate. That means the surface feels very similar to that of a smartphone when flicking, swiping, or performing dual touch operations, and it doesn’t have the “catch” that sometimes happens when using less smooth surfaces. Images are less distorted too. In fact, clarity is 102%—about 2% better than conventional clear film and much better than the 35% offered by non-glare film on resistive touch panels. Clear Film V2’s smooth operability and excellent clarity make it ideal for medical and measuring equipment, factory automation, and tool machines. It can be used with all FCL Components' 4-, 5-, and 7-wire resistive touch panels, including general GF touch panels and flush surface touch panels. ??

In environments with an elevated potential for explosions, equipment engineers must ensure every component protects against ignition risks — including relays. Some flammable refrigerants, for example, increase the potential for ignition and explosion risks when used with electrical devices. The arcing that can occur when relays are operating is one source of ignition risk. Industry standards help ensure enhanced protection from ignition risk, including the HAZLOC (hazardous location) standard in the US and Canada and the EU’s ATEX standard. FCL Components meets the elevated need for safe operation with our FTR-K1, FTR-F3 and FTR-MY series relays. They are UL/CSA HAZLOC compliant and ATEX-certified for certain low-risk areas with minimal explosion likelihood. FTR-K1, FTR-F3 and FTR-MY relays are a great choice for a wide range of use cases, including heat pumps, refrigerators, air conditioning systems, industrial equipment, alarm/fire/smoke/heat detectors, motors, and generators. These relays are available in: ? Current ratings from 5A to 16A. ? Flux proof and plastic-sealed enclosures. ? Slim and low-profile designs. ? 1 Form A and 1 Form C contact forms. ??
