Dexma Sensors has classified for the semifinals of the Eurecan European Venture Contest 2007 Award. The semifinals will be held in Brussels, Turin, Copenhaguen, Paris and Pamplona, we’ve chosen Pamplona as it’s closer from Barcelona and from Madrid. Why mention Madrid in this post? You’ll find the answer in the previous post. We will be presenting our project in the Eurecan the Nov 5th, and the SIMO starts Nov 6th, so we’ll go directly from Pamplona to Madrid.

The Eurecan is a European Contest and as it’s said in the contest website, its purpose is “to encourage the creation of companies based on innovation and which, thereby, contribute to national and international economic development.”

The final of this contest will be held in Barcelona in December, and for sure we will do our best to be there.

Keep watching this blog to know more about the competition and our progress in it.

Gracias a SIMO y FUNDETEC, Dexma Sensors ha sido obsequiada con un stand en la zona Vivero de la Feria Internacional SIMO. El premio esta dirigido a empresas de reciente creación (tres años de antigüedad) que aporten innovación en productos y servicios en relación con los sectores correspondientes a Tecnologías de la Información; Aplicaciones Profesionales; Telecomunicaciones; e-Business-Internet, o Domótica.

De esta forma, desde aquí queremos invitar a nuestros clientes, proveedores, partners y amigos a venir a vernos entre el 6 y el 11 de Noviembre por el stand 1A146. Durante la muestra realizaremos demos en el campo de monitorización vía Wireless Sensor Networks y RTLS (Real Time Location System).

Poneros en contacto a info@dexmasensors.com para recibir entradas.

Como se ha podido leer en algunos medios, el equipo de dexma sensors, representado por Xavier Orduña, se ha alzado con el segundo puesto del premio emprendedor EOI celebrado en Madrid.

El primer puesto fue para Santiago Ambit, con su proyecto Future Advertising, y el tercer premio fue compartido entre Carolina Assadi y Jose Luis Nuñez.

Aquesta tarda han sortit els finalistes del Premi Emprenedors de Caixa Manresa, un total de 10 9 projectes que seran defensats el 9 d’Octubre en ‘vivo y en directo’ a l’Auditori de Caixa Manresa (la Plana de l’Om, 5. Manresa).

Dexma Sensors ha quedat entre els 9 finalistes, la presentació serà a les 17:20h. A les 20:00h la de Think In Grid, sobre la seva arquitectura de Grid Computing.

The Stanford Technology Ventures Program (STVP) is proud to host four annual international conferences for entrepreneurship educators. These conferences are called Roundtables on Entrepreneurship Education (REE). They are designed to stimulate communication and collaboration between business, science, and engineering faculty who teach high-technology entrepreneurship in universities around the world. This year REE Europe is co-hosted by the Technical University of Catalonia in Barcelona, Spain.

Leemos en el artículo Is M2M dead? de la M2M Magazine datos interesantes como:

1. Juniper Research Ltd., www.juniperresearch.com, Hampshire, U.K., which says the market for wireless-enabled M2M applications is now entering a new growth phase with revenues set to climb from $20 billion last year to more than $44 billion by 2009 and $74 billion by 2011.

2. It has been reported that currently there are more than 50 billion machines in the world, and as a result, the market will soar to an almost unbelievable 32% in annual growth and $290 billion in total revenue by 2011. So the networking of these physical assets will require the communication of other assets to enable data to be transmitted 24/7 impacting both our personal and professional lives.

3. The editors of M2M believe the “Six Pillars” of machine-to-machine technology represent market segments that all involve networking physical assets and integrating machine data into today’s business systems. The Six Pillars of M2M are 1) remote monitoring, 2) RFID, 3) sensor networking, 4) smart services, 5) telematics, and 6) telemetry. Together, they represent just about every way there is to apply M2M technology in both our business and personal environments.

A number of fields of application of IEEE 802.15.4 are described below.
• Home Automation and Security: A wireless PAN provides a low-cost solution for electronic control within the home; e.g. HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning), lighting, curtains/blinds, doors, locks, home entertainment systems. Another important application within the home is security – both intruder and fire detection.
• Consumer products: Wireless PANs can be built into consumer electronics products. The most obvious example is to provide a common remote control for the various components of a home entertainment system (that may be distributed throughout the home). Other examples are computer systems and toys, in which a wireless radio link may be used to replace a point-to-point cable link (such as between a mouse and a PC).
• Healthcare: This field employs sensors and diagnostic devices that can be networked by means of a wireless PAN. Applications include monitoring during healthcare programmes such as fitness training, in addition to medical applications.
• Vehicle Monitoring: Vehicles usually contain many sensors and diagnostic devices, and provide ideal applications for wireless PANs. A prime example is the use of pressure sensors in tyres, which cannot be connected by cables.
• Agriculture: Wireless PANs can help farmers monitor land and environmental conditions in order to optimise their crop yields. Such networks can operate at very low data rates and latencies, but require wide geographical coverage – the latter issue is addressed by using network topologies that allow the relaying of messages across the network.

Després de estar uns dies intensiu amb el tema, finalment hem fet el primer amb èxit del sistema de localització en temps real dexLocalizer. Hem repartit les motes per un pis, una a cada habitació, i hem anat movent una altra mota per tot el pis. Desde la consola central podriem saber en tot moment a quina habitació es trobava el dispositiu mòbil.

Això pot tenir múltiples aplicacions, imaginem que el dispositiu mòbil el porta un avi per una residència, afegint dades vitals com les pulsacions per minut o la temperatura corporal, podem saber en tot moment com es troba l’avi en questió dins d’una residència.

I per si fos poc, el sistema ja està pre-optimitzat per funcionar durant força temps sense canviar les bateries.

Seguirem treballant per millorar-lo encara més!

Els Fòrums d’Inversió són punts de trobada. Els emprenedors o empresaris, intenten convèncer als inversors per a què inverteixin a les seves iniciatives i els inversors cerquen els millors projectes per tal de participar-hi. És l’oportunitat de trobar i de ser trobat.

Aquest any Dexma Sensors formarà part del catàleg de projectes que contindrà informació sobre les 230 empreses participants. El catàleg de projectes, que és la tercera vegada que es publica, no només és útil per trobar empreses on invertir, sinó que permet trobar clients i proveïdors així com ser una font d’oportunitats de millora de la carrera laboral. Addicionalment, la informació sobre les 230 empreses serà traduïda a l’anglès i distribuïda internacionalment.

Ja us hi podeu inscriure a aquí.
