element14 provides the brains behind the bricks shaping the future of smart infrastructure
element14 simplifies the shift to innovative, smart living spaces
element14 has long recognised that buildings are rapidly becoming smarter and more connected. As design engineers push the boundaries of innovation in automation, surveillance, fire safety, and sustainability, the demand for advanced technologies such as IoT, AI, and data analytics continues to grow.
element14 plays a crucial role by supplying the essential components that allow buildings to autonomously handle complex tasks, enabling engineers to transform these innovations into reality.
Customers will now have access to element14’s expanded range of innovative products and solutions from leading suppliers, including Amphenol, ams OSRAM, Analog Devices, Arduino, Emerson, NI, Murata, Panasonic, Power Integrations, Renesas, Raspberry Pi, and TE Connectivity—all available under one roof, enabling the development of smarter and more responsive buildings.
element14, Andreea Teodorescu, Global Director of Product Marketing and element14 Community, said, “Our focus is on empowering smart building solutions with a wide range of components tailored to optimise logistics, HVAC systems, environmental controls, and security. We are excited to provide engineers with the tools they need to turn innovative concepts into tangible outcomes."
Some of the key components to support smart infrastructures include:
