HEADLINES ARCHIVE

  • The role of blockchain technology in smart grids

    Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize the smart grid, but there are still major obstacles that must be overcome in the coming years.

  • DIN-Rail terminal blocks

    DIN-rail terminal blocks are used in nearly every industry that requires hardwired interconnections of some type.

  • Reell's first hollow-axis friction hinge allows wire pass-through for data and power

    The easily mounted hollow torque hub allows for wire pass through to electronic devices and monitors.

  • Itema Group imagines a smart future for weaving in partnership with SECO

    The collaboration will use artificial intelligence for advanced machine management protocols based on digital twins.

  • Microrobots and the fight against bladder disease

    Imagine if microrobots could perform certain tasks in the body, such as non-invasive surgeries.

  • Proxy bot fills in for remote workers

    Dubbed ReMotion, the so-called proxy robot will physically occupy the space left vacant by remote workers, mirroring their movements in real time and demonstrating body language largely lost in virtual environments.

  • Comau is developing a fully automated system for sustainable battery recycling and second-life repurposing

    The robotic cell will facilitate the manipulation of low-charge batteries while minimizing risks to operators and equipment.

  • New GV series Cam-Tite ball valve enhances throughput

    The new Cam-Tite ball valves from ITT Engineered Valves excel in demanding and corrosive applications by offering features that address common valve problems.

  • Researchers introduce Scraft: An AI writing tutor

    Unlike the current range of generative AI tools — tools like ChatGPT that create images, videos, text and other content instantly — which can help students cheat by creating essays based on prompts, Columbia University’s Scraft produces helpful feedback for English students' writing assignments.

  • Sparks, splatter and pollutants: Is your robot protected?

    Robots in extreme environments need protection from the elements to reduce downtime and improve ROI. Robot covers are designed to protect that investment.

  • Automate and dominate!

    Advance your business when you enhance production through automated dispensing equipment.

  • Streamline quality control in electronics manufacturing with these 7 software capabilities

    Discover how PRECiV image and measurement software can optimize product inspection in the quality control process.

  • Heavy-duty flow meter resists corrosive biogas in co-gen green power environments

    Accurate gas flow measurement with full safety approvals requires virtually no maintenance over a long life for low life cycle costs.

  • Burrowing bot moves against the grain

    Crover’s T-shaped robot is designed to offer grain aggregators insight into the environmental conditions of grain crops stored in silos or sheds.

  • IEC 60601-1-8 AMD2:2020, medical alarms and FAQs

    Two main sections in IEC 60601-1-1 AMD1 dictate the specific requirements for audible alarms in medical equipment.

  • New high-efficiency 10-inch stainless steel well pumps from KSB

    UPA S 250 pump components are made of high-grade stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance to wear. Optionally, the pumps can be combined with the high-efficiency electric motors of the UMA-S series.

  • NEW UP05 — PIVOT series air-operated double diaphragm pump from SAMOA

    The new UP05 AODD pump series delivers maximum fluid flow while reducing air consumption, leading to cost savings and improved operational performance.

  • New bomb disarming robots in development for the Australian military

    Under the $46 million contract, L3Harris Micreo will develop 80 new explosive ordnance disposal robots.

  • A robotic bee that flies like real bees

    Dubbed Bee++, the robotic bee from WSU includes four wings, each of which features lightweight actuators for independently controlling the wings.

  • Long-legged drones set to deliver critical payloads to the battlefield

    The TRV-150C Tactical Resupply Unmanned Aircraft Systems (TRUASs), which are manufactured by Survice Engineering and Malloy Aeronautics, are four-limbed drones capable of taking off and landing with a 150 lb payload.
