A knowledge-based company has designed a smart system for the standardization of lighting, which helps reduce power consumption and is economical for both industrial firms and houses.
“With the growing need of the country's electricity and electronics industry for such systems, we offered our consumption reduction and lighting automation systems by using the newest technology,” said Benjamin Qasemi, CEO of Sima Electro Teb Company, referring to the company’s activities in the field of lighting up commercial, residential, industrial and urban areas.
Using its domestic knowhow and expertise, the knowledge-based company was able to use new technology in lighting systems and other related fields in a short period, the news portal of Vice-Presidency for Science and Technology reported.
Qasemi said the foreign counterpart of this company's product has fewer capabilities and is very expensive while the Iranian model, which has unique features, is close to acquiring European standards.
Due to the needs of different sectors, the product measures variables such as ambient brightness, electric current and voltage.
Because the variables and data must be stored on a server, a foreign product will store them on the server of the respective foreign company, which is not acceptable in terms of security.
Also, because there is a possibility of internet disruption when connecting to the server, the product can send information to the server via SMS. It also stores information in its internal memory for two months and transmits it to the server when connected to the internet, or via SMS.
The Iranian product’s smart lighting system can be controlled remotely and is one-fourth the price of foreign counterparts.
The domestic company has directly employed four people and 10-15 people indirectly.
Due to the rising consumption of electricity and limited power generation, the system can be used in different areas as per the needs of consumers.
"We are standardizing our products in Europe. We are in talks with several European companies to produce newer products in the fields of consumption reduction and smart lighting systems," he said.
Multifunction Transducer
A knowledge-based company has designed and manufactured a multifunction transducer that can be used to monitor the power grid in small and large industrial complexes.
“In digital devices, especially digital measuring devices, one of the most important concerns is how to deal with an analog quantity,” Mohammad Reza Hashemi, CEO of Farayand Niroopardaz Company, said.
Hashemi noted that the multifunction transducer is based on the latest electronic technology.
The main function of transducers is to convert one type of energy into another. There is no limit on the type of energy, as they convert each of the electrical, chemical, mechanical and thermal forms of energy.
Transducers are one of the main equipment in industrial electrical automation systems that can be used to monitor power grid parameters and convert them into standard signals.
Electrical parameters of this transducer are calculated after the conversion to a digital signal. These quantities are stored instantly in the system’s memory and can be recalled or applied to current or voltage analog outputs after digital selection by all isolated analog-to-analog converters.
Online network monitoring features, measurement of more than 120 electrical parameters of the power grid, remote measurement capability, 2 kV isolation between all parts and four isolated analog current and voltage outputs are among the special features of this domestic transducer.
It offers protection against short-circuit, measures total voltage, one- or two-way frequency, tolerates transient inputs up to several times the nominal values, has an internal clock equipped with a backup battery and a solar calendar with detectability, synchronization with location systems and occupies a small space.
“Knowledge-based companies need to enjoy benefits such as tax breaks to boost domestic production,” Hashemi said, while noting that about 15 jobs have been created in the production process.
“The foreign counterpart of the multifunction transducer is priced 12-fold higher and not economical for domestic companies. For this reason and in order to prevent unnecessary imports, knowledge-based companies should be supported,” he added.
Thermal Fogging Machine
A knowledge-based company has produced a spraying device mainly used in the agricultural sector, which can also be used for environmental disinfection by using the fogging method for the first time in Iran.
The Covid-19 pandemic required the import of a large number of thermal fogging machines, which were largely prevented by the production of domestic models.
Following further research, the main use of this product was expanded to serve environmental disinfection.
“The thermal fogging machine disperses the spray material in the form of a fog with dimensions of approximately 5-50 microns,” Abazar Vahdat, the CEO of knowledge-based Sepid Pajuhan Pars Company, was also quoted as saying.
The machine is designed in two models that have performed successfully. It could also be attached to the back of a van or car.
