Swissbit Solutions for the Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is one of the fastest growing markets for embedded and industrial systems. The term stands for the technology to connect homogeneous and heterogeneous physical and virtual devices with each other and also to a centralized cloud. Often combined with big data and artificial intelligence (AI), the IoT devices generate lots of data that need to be stored, processed, transmitted and analyzed. Local storage in the IoT devices (edge) becomes more important in order to buffer and reduce the amount of data that is transmitted through the communication channels.
Swissbit provides various types of storage solutions for the IoT systems that enable reliable, stable and high-performing operation with long service life.

Requirements

  • Reliability and temperature range: Storage solutions for IoT applications must provide reliable operation even in the most extreme conditions: wide temperature changes, sudden power interruptions, environmental influence.

  • High endurance: IoT systems for surveillance or sensor data acquisition need to have a high endurance even with small capacity products.

  • Small form factors: IoT applications prefer small form factor storage products to allow compact systems.

  • Security: Locally stored data must be protected against manipulation or theft.

Swissbit Solution

  • SATA & NVMe SSDs: The Swissbit PCIe and SATA products provide the right storage capacity, longevity and operation temperature range for outdoor and indoor systems.

  • 3D TLC & 3D pSLC: Cost reduction with the introduction of 3D NAND while maintaining the high reliability and endurance.

  • Small form factors: SD and microSD memory cards, e.MMC and USB products with high endurance are ideal for small scale IoT systems.

  • Protected SD and USB products: Swissbit offers PIN protected SD memory cards and USD flash drives with access control and encryption.

Key Product Features

 

Wide temperature Power fail management

Power fail management

Industrial Temperature Grade
Swissbit products are designed for operation in outdoor and remote systems under industrial temperature range. The guaranteed temperature range from -40°C to 85°C of the storage solution allows to operate the Swissbit products in systems without airflow. Own thermal management of the Flash controller protects against overheating and lifetime reduction.

Data Care Management
Stored data is sensitive to degeneration by high temperature storage. Data care management constantly checks the quality of the data and refreshes weak blocks in the background. This prevents data loss and extends the field life of the Swissbit products

Power Fail Robustness
Embedded systems are often just powered down by switching off AC, or systems are operated in remote location s with instable power supply. Swissbit implements a robust protection against data loss at sudden power fail in all of the products and verifies the effectiveness by a harsh power interruption test during product qualification.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial connectivity
  • Smart Manufacturing
  • Smart grid
  • Automation
  • Surveillance
  • Transportation
Data storage for industrial applications

Your Benefits

  • Small: ideal for small form factors IoT devices
  • Robust: rugged design, environmentally protected
  • Reliable: wide temperature range, high endurance
  • Low cost of ownership: long service life, highest quality

Use Case Example:

Surveillance Camera

Surveillance cameras need to operate 24/7 with a constant frame rate. Dependent on the indoor or outdoor location the operation temperature of the storage product can reach extreme levels. The Swissbit SD and micro SD memory cards withstand all typical environmental conditions with a long lifetime. The sustained bandwidth and available capacity of the new 3D NAND based microSD memory card series S-50u covers the spec of most modern HD surveillance cameras and is supported by life time monitoring which can predict the remaining field life time.
