Factories and manufacturing sites need to prevent anomalies in machinery and equipment to minimize downtime. Productivity can be raised by predicting problems and performing maintenance preemptively, instead of reacting only after breakdowns have occurred. To facilitate this type of predictive maintenance, TDK has developed i3 Micro Module—the world’s first ultracompact sensor module featuring embedded edge AI.
ABB announced today that Microsoft has joined its Energy Efficiency Movement. Launched in March 2021 by ABB, the #energyefficiencymovement is a multi-stakeholder initiative to raise awareness and spur action to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions to combat climate change. Companies are invited to join the movement and make a public pledge as a way of inspiring others to take action. Microsoft represents one of the largest corporate partners to join the initiative to date.
GE Research and GE Renewable Energy are partnering with Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) on a $1.75M U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technology Office (SETO) project to design, build, and field test a 400kWh, 2-hour Commercial and Industrial (C&I) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to enable and support Behind the Meter (BTM) PV Solar integration into the grid.
Hyundai Motor Group (the Group) announced today the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Michelin to develop next-generation tires optimized for premium electric vehicles (EVs).
MULTIVAC Marking & Inspection has every reason to celebrate: For 50 years the company, which is firmly rooted in the eastern part of Westphalia, has stood for high-quality, "Made in Germany" solutions for labelling, marking and inspection.
The demands for efficient heat dissipation of electronic devices on the PCB have not been reduced. The increased complexity of the assemblies, as well as the combination of individual functional modules into one component, lead to an unwelcome and, in the long run, harmful power loss on the PCB, which is directly converted into heat.
Temposonics, company of the Amphenol Group, announces the release of the TempoGate® smart assistant for the R-Series V position sensors. The advanced features and smart functions of the new generation as well as TempoGate® make existing and new applications future-proof and ready for Industry 4.0.
Until now, the most common way to dispose of green waste and sewage sludge has been to compost or incinerate it. However, using these materials to produce the valuable energy source hydrogen would make far more sense. A team of researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA is working towards this very goal.
