Preventing unplanned downtime in industrial processes only gets more important during times of high demand. The cost of gearbox, motor and drive shaft replacement often pales in comparison to that of the lost production resulting from mechanical torque overload failures caused by jams, collisions and binding in the driveline.
West Midlands 5G (WM5G) has demonstrated the results of its pioneering 5G trial in collaboration with nexGworx and its technology partners BT and Nokia at the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC).
The Internet of Things, or the IoT, has changed the world as we know it. As a global community, we are more connected than ever—and perhaps more than we realize. Through the Internet of Things, we now have a vast network of internet-connected devices gathering, analyzing and storing data, running the gamut from smart home products to driverless vehicles.
STXI Motion, a global motion control and servo solution company, will present a variety of low-voltage mobile motion platform solutions intended for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and shuttle system deployment at MODEX 2022, held March 28–31 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Minimal interfering contour, short cycle times, and high energy efficiency – SCHUNK magnetic grippers offer a vast array of advantages. They handle ferromagnetic parts reliably over the long term and leave no traces. Two new variants now provide even more design freedom for robotic applications.
Working to make nuclear power an even more attractive carbon-free energy solution, a team of scientists at GE Research have been awarded $4.5 million through ARPA-E’s ONWARDS program to develop a new inspection technique that would encourage the recycling of fuel for advanced nuclear reactor concepts coming online.
Since the beginning of 2022 the ETSI MEC Industry Specification Group (ETSI ISG MEC) has moved forward with the on-going Phase 3 work, which is foreseen to help accelerate and enable more effective and fruitful collaboration with other organizations.
Septentrio about the Resilient GPS/GNSS receivers that protect INS systems from jamming and spoofing. With the growth of automation and robotization in many industries, from agriculture and delivery drones to self-driving cars, the demand for accurate and affordable navigation is on the rise.
