Voice control is booming: Alexa, Siri and others are showing what is possible. Industrial applications can also benefit from this technology, for the intuitive and hands-free control of devices and systems used to automate complex processes, for example, or in medical apparatus. For such applications, vicCONTROL, the embedded voice control solution from voice INTER connect is available in 30 languages including the Scandinavian and Benelux languages. It is easy to integrate, user-friendly and meets the highest standards of security and data privacy. Voice processing is entirely local, with no need for an Internet connection.
Two new dual-channel galvanically-isolated gate drivers for IGBTs and silicon-carbide (SiC) MOSFETs from STMicroelectronics save space and ease circuit design in high-voltage power-conversion and industrial applications.
Sensitech, a leading provider of global supply chain visibility solutions, today launched the TempTale® Ultra BLE, the newest wireless addition to its industry-leading line of digital temperature monitoring solutions. Sensitech is part of Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), the leading global provider of healthy, safe, sustainable and intelligent building and cold chain solutions.
Nano- and microstructures can now be incorporated into surfaces in an instant using lasers. The technology is being developed and marketed by the Dresden-based start-up Fusion Bionic, a spin-off from the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS. The possibilities are virtually endless when it comes to laser structuring. It has the advantage of being fast and much more versatile than coatings.
ams OSRAM (SIX: AMS), a global leader in optical solutions, announced today a new partnership with Luxonis, a developer of embedded artificial intelligence and computer vision technology. Luxonis provides 3D solutions for automatic guided vehicles (AGVs), robots, drones and more that help create high-quality 3D maps for applications such as object detection and obstacle avoidance.
It’s clear that the sustainability agenda is a priority for organizations these days. How can businesses utilize simulation technology to boost sustainability practices?
Global software developer eschbach is partnering with industrial digitalization solution provider IPCOS to expand the safety, quality and performance benefits of eschbach’s Shiftconnector® Plant Process Management platform to more chemical manufacturing operations.
Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion and control technologies, has introduced a 2-way servo proportional valve as part of its TFP series, pioneering a new generation of cartridge valves. With the company’s patented VCD® actuator technology, the innovative design of sleeve and spool allows for previously unattainable flow and pressure drop values. The improved efficiency, compared to regular cartridge throttle valves, enables the use of smaller nominal sizes with the same output – and thus reduces the size requirements of the control manifold blocks.
