AS “SAF TEHNIKA” ir pabeigusi īstenot pētniecības projektu “Augstas veiktspējas mikroviļņu radio dzesēšanas optimizācija, MiRaDO”, Nr. 1.10..
Projekta nobeiguma periodā - pēdējos trīs projekta mēnešos tika īstenota projekta eksperimentālās izstrādes aktivitāte “Augstas veiktspējas mikroviļņu radio pielāgota korpusa prototipa izgatavošana un testēšana.” Tās ietvaros tika saražots MW radio korpusa prototips ar termāli optimizēto ģeometriju.
Atbilstoši korpusa ģeometrijas matemātiskās modelēšanas un optimizācijas gaitā iegūtajām atziņām, korpusa prototips tika pilnībā izgatavots no alumīnija, ieskaitot arī vāku. Tas tika izgatavots, izmantojot frēzēšanas tehnoloģiju, taču sērijveida ražošanā tiks izmantotas efektīvākas metodes – tādas kā ekstrūzija radiatoram un presēšana vākam, kas ievērojami samazinās ražošanas pašizmaksu.
Izgatavotajam radio korpusa prototipam tika veikta testēšana, apkopoti siltumapmaiņas testa rezultāti un veikta analīze, kas validē iepriekšējā projekta īstenošanas periodā veikto matemātiskā modeļa aprēķinu rezultātus. Analizējot prototipu termālo uzvedību, tika ņemti vērā projektā iegūtie ekspluatācijas datu analīzes rezultāti, ka sistēmas temperatūra ir par ~20°C augstāka kā apkārtējā gaisa temperatūra. Tika definēts kritērijs maksimālajai korpusa izkliedētajai jaudai, pie kuras temperatūra karstākajā punktā uz radiatora nepārsniedz apkārtējās vides temperatūru vairāk kā par 20 grādiem. No testu rezultātiem ir redzams, ka maksimālā radio izkliedētā jauda, pie kuras ir iespējams pilnībā atteikties no aktīvās dzesēšanas ar ventilatoriem, izmantojot optimizēto korpusu pie vēja ātruma 0.9 m/s, ir robežās 105…110 W. Labvēlīgākajā gadījumā, kad vēja virziens ir perpendikulārs radiatora virsmai, ar pasīvu dzesēšanu pietiek līdz 140 W izkliedētajai jaudai. Līdz ar to ir sasniegts galvenais projekta pētījuma mērķis: izstrādāt mikroviļņu radio korpusu, kas nodrošina tā optimālu dzesēšanu pie visiem komerciāli nozīmīgiem lietošanas apstākļiem (dažādas apkārtējā gaisa temperatūras, saules starojuma intensitāte, vēja ātrums) un radio komponenšu augstas veiktspējas darbības (saistīta ar paaugstinātu siltuma izdalīšanos no elektriskajām un elektroniskajām komponentēm).
Projekts tika īstenots Latvijas Atveseļošanas un noturības mehānisma plāna 5.1.r. reformu un investīciju virziena "Produktivitātes paaugstināšana caur investīciju apjoma palielināšanu P&A" 5.1.1.r. reformas "Inovāciju pārvaldība un privāto P&A investīciju motivācija" 5.1.1.2.i. investīcijas "Atbalsta instruments inovāciju klasteru attīstībai" projekta “Latvijas Elektrisko un optisko iekārtu ražošanas nozares kompetences centrs” ietvaros (projekts Nr. 5.1.1.2.i.0/1/22/A/CFLA/002).

Projekts Nr. 5.1.1.2.i.0/2/24/A/CFLA/006
Pētījums Nr. 12 “Datos balstītu energoefektivitātes algoritmu validācija un datu pārraides kvalitātes analīze augsta blīvuma sensoru tīklos”
2025.gada 1.janvārī AS “SAF TEHNIKA” sadarbībā ar Rīgas Tehnisko universitāti Latvijas Atveseļošanas un noturības mehānisma plāna 5.1. reformu un investīciju virziena "Produktivitātes paaugstināšana caur investīciju apjoma palielināšanu P&A" 5.1.1.r. reformas "Inovāciju pārvaldība un privāto P&A investīciju motivācija" 5.1.1.2.i. investīcijas "Atbalsta instruments pētniecībai un internacionalizācijai" otrās kārtas īstenošanas noteikumu ietvaros uzsāk īstenot pētniecības projektu Nr. 12 “Datos balstītu energoefektivitātes algoritmu validācija un datu pārraides kvalitātes analīze augsta blīvuma sensoru tīklos”.
Pētījuma mērķis ir universāla algoritma izstrāde, kas spētu, neatkarīgi no ēku pielietojuma, samazināt tajās izvietojamo apkārtējās vides uzraudzības sensoru skaitu, nesamazinot uz sensoru datu pamata pieņemamo ēku energoefektivitātes lēmumu kvalitāti.
Galvenās aktivitātes ietver izpēti un eksperimentus, lai analizētu datu zudumus starp sensoriem un bāzes stacijām pārslodzes un traucējumu rezultātā, noteiktu optimālu sensoru blīvumu, kā arī pārbaudītu un salīdzinātu dažādus radio sakaru risinājumus - Lora un Mioty datu pārraides protokolus, lai uzlabotu datu pārraides uzticamību, enerģijas patēriņu un sakaru diapazonu.
Projekta ietvaros ar apkārtējās vides uzraudzības sensoriem tiks aprīkotas Rīgas Tehniskās universitātes (RTU) ēkas – ēkas, kurās tiek nodrošināti studiju, zinātnes un inovāciju procesi, kā arī kopmītņu, peldbaseina un cita pielietojuma ēkas.
Lai nodrošinātu datu pārraides un radio sakaru kvalitātes mērījumus, tiks izmantotas dažādas slodzes (datu pārraides biežumi). Datu pārraides kvalitātes mērījumi tiks veikti visā projekta periodā un visu sensoru instalācijas laikā, lai noteiktu, vai sensoru pakāpeniska izvietošana ēkās var ietekmēt datu pārraides kvalitāti blakus esošajās ēkās. Iegūto eksperimentālo datu pareizas interpretācijas nodrošināšanai tiks vērtēti raidošo sensoru signāla stipruma (RSSI) rādījumi bāzes stacijās, šādi novērojot sakarības starp signāla stiprumu, datu pārraides intensitāti un datu relatīvo zudumu pārraides laikā.
Līdzīga pielietojuma ēkās, blakus tiks uzstādīti sensori, kas strādā ar Aranet un Mioty datu pārraides protokoliem. Tas ļaus salīdzināt datu pārraides kvalitāti vienos un tajos pašos apstākļos, kā arī ar vieniem un tiem pašiem komunikācijas parametriem, nosakot katra protokola priekšrocības un trūkumus, kā arī funkcionālās iespējas, datu drošības, savietojamības, tīkla topoloģijas elastības u.c. jomās. Projekta ietvaros tiks veikta AS “SAF TEHNIKA” ražoto sensoru pilnveide, paplašinot komercializācijas iespējas un eksportspēju.
Iepriekšējais pētījums ir pierādījis, ka līdzīga pielietojuma ēkās ir līdzīgas uzvedības telpas. Pētījuma tēze nosaka, ka potenciālais metodes pielietojuma rezultāts ir ievērojami plašāka sensoru savstarpējā aizvietojamība, kas ļauj būtiski samazināt kopējās sensoru infrastruktūras izbūves un uzturēšanas izmaksas, vienlaicīgi būtiski nesamazinot atbilstošo telpu uzvedības prognozes precizitāti.
Pētījuma ietvaros tiks izmantoti jau iepriekš aprobēti datos sakņoti laikrindu prognozēšanas modeļi, piemēram, LSTM (Long Short Temr Memory), GRU (Gated Recurent Unit) vai TCN (Temportal Convolutional Network), kuru prognozes vidējās kvadrātiskās kļūdas pret patieso mērījumu apjoms būs galvenais rādītājs, lai novērtētu sensoru savstarpējo aizvietojamību. Savukārt uzvedības līdzības noteikšanai tiks izmantota laikrindu salīdzināšanas metrika DTW (Dynamic Time Warping), kas ļauj noteikt “attālumu” starp divām laikrindām. Izmantojot DTW metriku, tiks atlasīti sensori ar dažādas pakāpes mērījumu savstarpējo līdzību, šādi ļaujot sistemātiski novērtēt prognozes precizitāti ar dažādiem savstarpējas līdzības novērtējumiem un izdarīt aptverošus secinājumus par metodes pielietojamību un potenciālu ekonomisko efektu dažādos savstarpējās sensoru aizvietošanas scenārijos.
Ņemot vērā ievērojamo izvietojamo kopējo sensoru skaitu, datu apstrādei tiks izmantots RTU augstas veiktspējas skaitļošanas centrs (HPC) un atbilstošs programmatūras risinājums. Lai nodrošinātu efektīvu datu apstrādi, tiks veidoti datu momentuzņēmumi, tos tieši kopējot no Aranet datu mākoņa risinājuma HPC sistēmās. Tas nodrošinās ne tikai efektīvāku datu apmaiņu, bet arī iespēju datus publicēt atvērtās datu kopās, stiprinot zinātnes kopienu un veicinot atvērtās zinātnes principu ievērošanu.
Projekts ir strukturēts šādās galvenajās aktivitātēs:
- aktivitāte: “Datu izgūšanas programmatūras izstrāde” (Eksperimentālā izstrāde).
- aktivitāte: “Mioty savietojama sensora izstrāde” (Eksperimentālā izstrāde).
- aktivitāte: “Sensoru datu salīdzinošās programmatūras izstrāde” (Eksperimentālā izstrāde).

- Programmatūras modulis – II - sensoru datu salīdzināšanas programmatūras modulis, kas nodrošina DTW vai līdzīga mēra izmantošanu sensoru datu laikrindu salīdzināšanai.
- Izstrādāti un testēti Mioty sensori, uzstādīti 5000 – 6000 sensori un atbilstošs skaits bāzes staciju.
- Programmatūras modulis – III - sensoru datu prognozēšanas un prognožu kļūdu aprēķina modelis, kas izmanto vairākus prognozēšanas algoritmus, kā arī kombinē sensoru datu līdzību ar prognozes kļūdu.

Pētniecības projekts “Augstas veiktspējas mikroviļņu radio dzesēšanas optimizācija, MiRaDO”
26.11.24.
Pētniecības projekta “Augstas veiktspējas mikroviļņu radio dzesēšanas optimizācija, MiRaDO”, Nr. 1.10., ietvaros AS “SAF TEHNIKA” ir pabeigusi mikroviļņu radio korpusa matemātiskā modeļa izstrādi un radio korpusa ģeometrijas optimizāciju, izmantojot izstrādāto matemātisko modeli un tā robežnosacījumus.
Modeļa attīstības posmā tika iegūtas svarīgas atziņas par optimizējamās iekārtas dzesēšanu un apkārtējās vides apstākļiem. Noteikts, ka vēja izraisītās horizontālās plūsmas ietekme uz siltuma atdevi ir samērojama ar termogravitācijas konvekcijas radīto siltuma atdevi. Tādēļ korpusa modeļa optimizācijā tika ņemta vērā gan termogravitācijas plūsmas ietekme vertikālajos kanālos, gan vēja plūsmas ietekme pamata kanāliem perpendikulārā virzienā.
Modelēšanas posmā tika skaidri parādīts, ka iekārtas vāks būtiski piedalās siltuma atdevē, un, ka alumīnijs kā vāka materiāls ir daudz efektīvāks par plastmasu. Tādēļ optimizācijas posmā tika izmantots tikai alumīnija vāks.
Noskaidrots, ka iekārtas detaļu ietekme korpusa iekšienē - to siltuma atdeve uz iekšējā gaisa apgabalu ir neliela un praktiski viss siltums pāriet no siltuma avotiem uz radiatoru. Tādēļ nebija nepieciešams modelēt detalizētu ģeometriju korpusa iekšienē.
Modeļa optimizācijas procesā tika aprēķinātas dažādas modeļa modifikācijas, novērtējot katra parametra izmaiņu ietekmi uz dzesēšanu.
Optimizācijas rezultātā ir izstrādāta jauna ģeometrija un aprēķināti optimālākie radio korpusa izmēri. Optimizācija veikta izmantojot siltuma avotus ar kopējo jaudu 95 W. AS SAF TEHNIKA ir izvērtējusi optimizētās iekārtas ražošanas procesus un ir izgatavojusi mikroviļņu radio korpusa prototipu ar termāli optimizētu ģeometriju.
Turpmākajā projekta īstenošanas periodā tiks veikti izgatavotā prototipa siltumapmaiņas testi un analīze matemātiskā modeļa aprēķinu rezultāta validēšanai.
Projekts tiek īstenots Latvijas Atveseļošanas un noturības mehānisma plāna 5.1.r. reformu un investīciju virziena "Produktivitātes paaugstināšana caur investīciju apjoma palielināšanu P&A" 5.1.1.r. reformas "Inovāciju pārvaldība un privāto P&A investīciju motivācija" 5.1.1.2.i. investīcijas "Atbalsta instruments inovāciju klasteru attīstībai" projekta “Latvijas Elektrisko un optisko iekārtu ražošanas nozares kompetences centrs” ietvaros (projekts Nr. 5.1.1.2.i.0/1/22/A/CFLA/002).

“SAF Tehnika” publishes its audited consolidated and non-consolidated financial statements for financial year 2023/ 2024 (from July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2024) according to Section 56th, 5th paragraph of „Law on the Financial Instruments Market”.
During the reporting year, the development and improvement of the microwave wireless data transmission product line continued. The Group continues to actively research the market and identify key issues in order to propose necessary product modifications and develop prototypes for next-generation technologies. At the same time, the Group develops IoT solutions for both business and consumer segments, diversifying its product line, creating higher added value for SAF Tehnika product offerings, and increasing the Group’s revenue.
Exports made 96.53% of the turnover and amounted to EUR 26.14 million, the Group exported its products to 88 countries worldwide.
The largest drop in net turnover was observed in the Americas region, and there is not just one specific reason for this, but several factors. In one of the Group’s sales divisions, the implementation of several projects was temporarily suspended, and, due to intense competition, the initially planned sales prices for some projects had to be reduced. Furthermore, several key partners had already made warehouse purchases in the previous financial year, resulting in a decline in orders for 2023/2024.
The Group’s operations in previous years were impacted by the global shortage of various electronic components. By regularly reviewing procurement volumes and deadlines, the company accumulated material reserves (inventories) to be able to fulfil most of the orders within normal lead times. During the financial year, delivery times have significantly improved. Following the precautionary principle, total provisions for slow-moving inventory (compared to the volume at the end of the previous financial year) increased by EUR 1.8 million.
During the reporting year, the Group invested EUR 1.29 million into IT infrastructure, production and research equipment, purchase of software and licenses, product certification, as well as in the renovation of premises.
The Group ended the financial year 2023/2024 with losses of EUR 2.37 million.
The Parent company’s financial result for FY 2023/2024 was a loss of EUR 1.34 million EUR.
The Group’s management assesses the loss situation for the reporting year as temporary. The Group continues to monitor potential cost increase forecasts and assess the associated risks. The Group will continue its chosen strategy of developing competitive wireless data transmission products and solutions for new export markets, focusing on strategic market niches in terms of both products and regions.
The Board of the Parent Company proposes to cover the losses from the reporting year with profits from previous years.
