MiniDis and Partners – Successful collaboration!
MiniDis is a specialized Value Added European Distributor (VAD). What is a VAD? And why do Partners and Resellers choose MiniDis?
To answer these questions, we briefly introduce a number of customers cases. Customers who benefit from maintaining a close relationship with MiniDis for the development of their services and products and benefit from our:
Services – While a broadliner distributor mainly supplies many products, a VAD such as MiniDis, delivers distinctive IT products, supplemented with services, support, assembly, installation support and even the modification of products to customer specifications. These extras represent the added value for our customers. Certainly in the mini-PC segment, the complexity of end-user questions and applications is increasing enormously. And despite the small size, the possibilities of mini-PCs have increased enormously due to the modular structure of some of them.
Knowledge – With many options to choose from, it comes down to product knowledge, combining product characteristics and options, excellent contact with manufacturers, but also experience in a specific market segment.
Collaboration – The relations with our manufacturers such as CompuLab, DMP and ECS are very close. Manufacturers engage distributors for logistics and financial matters, but especially for support and service.
Added value – Our customers know how to value our services. The success stories of our customers, in which we played a joint role, prove this. A role that consists of:
- Thinking about product development and application
- Unburdening by Assembling and Installing mini PCs
- Assisting in the realization of cost-effective international data SIM traffic
- Modifying products to improve applicability
- Custom Operating System images such as Win10 IoT and Linux distributes
- Chassis Customization, such as custom side panels for fitlett2
- Temperature certification
Our products are used in a wide variety of projects. Most of them are at least innovative, some of them groundbreaking. We would like to introduce a number of our partners!
The Dutch company Real Time Remote Services BV, founded in 2005 and a long-standing customer of MiniDis, provides remote monitoring services for industrial installations under the name “eRemote”. They do this not only in the Netherlands, but worldwide. Based on modern technologies (Industry 4.0) such as Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), they process this data into clear status, performance and operational information. To this end, they make use of the renowned Splunk> platform, which clearly displays this information by means of graphs, reports, warnings, dashboards, and visualisations via a web-style interface. For the data collection at the customer site, with eRemote they use one of the Compulab mini-PCs from the MiniDis range...
The German company SEBA Hydrometrie GmbH has been an international expert in hydrology, meteorology and wastewater since 1967 and they are one of the world's leading manufacturers of environmental monitoring systems. In 2020 SEBA decided to enter into a partnership with MiniDis. The Fitlet2 Intel Celeron J3455 has since been used as the central unit for a company's camera-based measurement system. The mini-PC is one of many components installed in the control cabinet of their equipment. So far at SEBA they are very satisfied with the cooperation with MiniDis and the friendly service. Their next step is to see if these mini-PCs still function perfectly in extreme weather
A collar for cows connected to the Cloud using Internet of Things (IoT). HerdInsights is a company based in Cork, Ireland that helps farmers employ the latest technology: Cloud-based monitoring of dairy-cows. They supply smart collars that monitor animals’ behaviour in the herd, to detect when they are in heat or if they have health issues. MiniDis’ Fitlet2 mini-PC is used in the communication Gateway box that receives the data from the animals and transmits it to the Cloud. Just like humans, animals too change their behaviour when they are sick, and they are likely to reduce movement and eat less. When they are in heat, naturally they will show extra movement. If a cow is categorized as a
Technological innovation at the service of the common good. To respond to the current health emergency generated by the Coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19), Imago, in close collaboration with the Copan Group, created DragonFlyTM, a thermal imaging camera device capable of detecting body temperature remotely and without contact. DragonFlyTM, already active at the Poliambulanza Foundation and at the Spedali Civili di Brescia, has been designed to be placed at the entrance of hospitals, companies and any structure to manage body temperature screening in greater safety. Based on infrared technology, thanks to innovative features such as automatic adaptation to the ambient temperature and the internal calibration of the thermal imaging camera, DrangonFlyTM is able to reliably detect the body temperature of anyone who simply positions...
Caotech from Wormerveer, the Netherlands, specializes in the development and production of grinding equipment and related equipment for the cocoa, confectionery and chocolate industry. The main component of chocolate, cocoa, is extracted from cocoa beans. These cocoa beans are ground to produce a homogeneous, viscous 'syrupy' cocoa mass is formed. This mass is for chocolate production, or it is used to make cocoa powder and cocoa butter. But before chocolate can be made from the cocoa beans, a lot of precise actions must take place. Processes in which, in addition to food processing, the right temperatures and just right grinding of the beans are very important. Caotech is located in the Dutch Zaan region for a reason. Close to the cocoa processing factories, which have traditionally been present there...
Stan Hollander ICT from North Holland is typically an IT company where the solutions arise through the optimal use of knowledge and experience with both the hard and software aspects of computerization. By combining in-depth knowledge of both worlds, Stan Hollander ICT is able to let hardware components communicate to management or control software. In this way it is possible to rely on smart software for controlling and monitoring all kinds of hardware. This includes communication and management such as: PLC couplings NFC / MiFare (Label) Printers SQL databases Web services All Windows platforms Simple I / O Pay devices Barcode scanners The reliable miniDis / CompuLab products have been the heart of this type of specialist control and monitor solutions over 250 times. A collaboration that has succeeded...
bagchain, a Dutch company based at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, is a communication and mobile baggage check-in / print kiosk provider. They develop innovative products, such as the mobile baggage self-service kiosk, with which airline passengers can easily check in their baggage and print a baggage tag within 5 seconds. This works by scanning the boarding pass that one has printed or is present on a smartphone as a mobile boarding pass. These self-service points are mobile and can therefore be placed where they are currently needed. And that does not only have to be at an airport itself. That can also take place in the hotel, station, parking lot, car rental company etc.! This avoids unnecessary queues and therefore loss of time and annoyance at airports. This innovative solution was made possible in part by the use of the robust and...
