Digi-Key, ADI partner on precision measurement platform
The multi-sensor MeasureWare platform will allow Digi-Key customers to kickstart designs by providing immediate access to availability and pricing of qualifying products.
“We’re proud to be Analog Device’s chosen partner for this intuitive new platform,” says David Stein, vice president of global supplier management for Digi-Key. “Partnerships like this one reflect Digi-Key’s overarching commitment to continue streamlining every aspect of our business – including the purchasing process – in order to support the design engineer.”
MeasureWare is offered as a plug-and-play suite of hardware measurement kits and software studio tools to help fulfill the growing need for precision measurement across multiple industries including precision agriculture, machine health monitoring, electrochemistry and other areas requiring precise measurement. MeasureWare, says ADI, marries its electronic engineering experience with those who require real-time data insights yet may lack the time or expertise to digest corresponding datasheets or do complex firmware development.
Currently being applied across applications such as bee health monitoring, industrial monitoring, beverage production, and cold chain for medication, MeasureWare solutions are built to interface devices with the world around them, allowing users to more effectively measure the datasets necessary to their respective projects, such as temperature, weight, humidity, pH, pressure, etc. It also offers flexibility to adjust and change measurement parameters as a project evolves.
“We created MeasureWare to provide precision measurement solutions to a growing customer base seeking to leverage the best of ADI’s technology without needing to become fluent in component and hardware specifications,” says Lorna Keane, Director of MeasureWare, Analog Devices. “With MeasureWare and our associated partner network, we support users throughout their entire measurement journey, with solutions that scale from idea to production.”
The MeasureWare Software Studio includes:
- MeasureWare Designer: Provides hardware recommendations to support the customer’s specific needs of their application.
- MeasureWare Lab: Once the hardware is received customers can quickly stream and view monitoring results in measurement units.
- MeasureWare Developer: For the more advanced users; support preferences for host microcontroller and integrated development environments for application coding. Initially offering an ARM® Mbed sample project and API but other IDEs will be supported in the future.
With the announced partnership with Digi_key Electronics, the new platform will enable Digi-Key customers to have their own customized software and marketplace, without having to spend time configuring hardware or writing firmware. Through the intuitive MeasureWare Software Studio and quick start measurement platforms, say the companies, MeasureWare gets design engineers up and running with a solution tuned to their specific needs in minutes.
Leo McHugh, vice president of instrumentation and precision technology at Analog Devices adds, “We’re looking forward to helping our customers get quick and easy measurement insights. Digi-Key is a trusted partner of ours and we’re excited to work together to get the innovative and flexible MeasureWare solutions into the hands of customers across the globe.”
