Open Source is the magic word that should move digitalization of industrial processes forward: The foundation of the technology association "Industrial Digital Twin Association", the two associations VDMA (German Engineering Association) and ZVEI (German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturer's Association) should pave the way to a real mass start towards industry 4.0.
GE Renewable Energy announced today that its Haliade-X prototype, the world’s most powerful wind turbine operating to date, has being optimized and is now operating at a 13 MW power output.
By installing automatic lubricators for bearings on its conveyor drive motors and belt pulleys, an opencast mine in Hungary has seen a range of benefits, including prevention of unplanned downtime, longer bearing life and reduced repair work.
Flat, precise, power density: the universally deployable, mechatronic rotary unit SCHUNK ERT enables uniform, flexible and dynamic rotary movements that are virtually wear and maintenance-free within compact spaces. Even with the optionally available brake, which is actuated directly via the controller, the height of the SCHUNK ERT remains unchanged. This is a novelty on the market and creates excellent prerequisites for the most compact assembly and handling applications in the field of electronics, medical technology, laboratory technology, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and solar industry, but also for space-optimized applications in the field of mechanical engineering, laser machining or for packaging processes.
T&M specialists Rohde & Schwarz and VIAVI Solutions verify their respective test equipment on correct implementation for 5G NR and LTE. This exchange between the two companies will help accelerate UE commercialization. The verification is based on the R&S CMX500 5G NR wideband radio communication tester by Rohde & Schwarz and the TM500 network tester for user equipment (UE) emulation by VIAVI.
It’s no longer big news that the ongoing pandemic of COVID-19 is creating sanitary challenges like never seen before. At this point, and without a vaccine or effective treatment, the use of masks and other types of personal protective equipment (PPE), is the best way to limit the spread of the virus circulation.
