Summary of ARROW ELECTRONICS, PANASONIC INDUSTRY, AND STMICROELECTRONICS JOIN FORCES TO DELIVER IOT MODULES FOR SMART APPLICATIONS
Arrow Electronics, Panasonic Industry, and STMicroelectronics have launched a low-power wireless multi-sensor edge-intelligence IoT solution module for smart factory, smart home, and smart life applications. The module combines Arrow’s engineering and distribution with Panasonic’s IoT modules based on ST’s BlueTile (STEVAL-BCN002V1B) multi-sensor kit, featuring the BlueNRG BLE 5.0 SoC and multiple inertial, environmental, and audio sensors. Certified modules and validation services reduce BOM, integrate accelerometer, gyroscope, Time-of-Flight, pressure, and humidity sensors in a low-power Bluetooth design to cut time-to-market and design complexity for OEMs.

Arrow Electronics, Panasonic Industry, and STMicroelectronics (ST) have introduced a low-power wireless multi-sensor edge-intelligence solution for smart factory, smart home, and smart life applications.
The IoT Solution Module combines Arrow’s engineering and global distribution capabilities with Panasonic Industry’s IoT modules based on the ST BlueTile (STEVAL-BCN002V1B) multi-sensor development kit. This combination enables customers to test their ideas easily and bring new IoT products to the market faster.
The IoT Solution Module features ST’s latest BlueNRG Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5.0 system-on-chip (SoC) paired with numerous inertial, environmental, and audio sensors. The onboard sensors enable the cost-effective delivery of a broad range of compact and valuable IoT applications for smart factory, smart home and smart life scenarios.
Comprehensive services and validation processes enable a reduced BOM that combines an accelerometer and gyroscope with Time-of-Flight, pressure, and humidity sensors in an efficient low-power design with Bluetooth communications. This combination enables OEM customers to dramatically slash time-to-market and reduce design expense and complexity using certified modules.
“Building on the outstanding features and design of the ST BlueTile sensor-node development kit, the modules now available from Panasonic Industry through Arrow Electronics are ideal for speeding creation of a wide range of edge-node sensors for all kinds of Internet-of-Things applications,” said Philip Lolies, EMEA Vice President, Marketing & Application, STMicroelectronics.
