Case Study
NR-Light Stack in Wearable Health Devices
A medical device manufacturer in Boston integrated NR-Light Stack into a new line of wearable ECG and blood pressure monitors. By reducing power consumption and enabling secure real-time data transfer, the company extended battery life to over 20 days and reduced device costs by 28%, significantly improving adoption in telehealth programs.
Smart Industrial Control with NR-Light
A Michigan-based manufacturing plant deployed NR-Light-enabled sensors on their robotic production lines. The result was enhanced machine-level data collection with real-time control capabilities. With reduced network traffic and improved operational visibility, the facility saw a 15% boost in throughput and a 40% drop in unplanned downtime.
NR-Light Smart Agriculture Project
In Alberta, an agritech company deployed an NR-Light-based system to monitor crop conditions via soil and weather sensors. The system provided high reliability and low maintenance over long distances, resulting in a 25% increase in crop yield and a 35% reduction in irrigation and fertilizer use through predictive analytics.
