The German industrial automation company Phoenix Contact has chosen connectBlue as a strategic partner for implementing Bluetooth and other wireless technologies in their industrial automation products and applications. With a worldwide presence, Phoenix Contact is a leading player within electronic interface and industrial automation technology.

For some time, the two companies have been collaborating on a number of projects to integrate Bluetooth communication in industrial interface and automation products. One of the current projects is to develop a real-time communication solution for wireless, Bluetooth-based transmissions of control signals within automation systems. This will simplify the integration of moving and rotating machine parts into automation networks significantly and reduce wear and tear.

"The strategic partnership with Phoenix will further strengthen our ability to provide the industrial automation market with first-class Bluetooth solutions," says Rolf Nilsson, President at connectBlue.
