The advantages of Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (ED-XRF) technology are explored in thenew white paper: 'Surprising New Capabilities of ED-XRF Technology'. ED-XRF is a technology that, for various industrial purposes, is able to obtain elemental information from different types of materials.

Central to the success of HVAC systems are the miniature motors necessary to actuate the control valves. In addition to generating the required torque at low speed to regulate gas flow, the motors must ensure long and reliable life, combined with efficiency and cost effectiveness.

Conrad Energy and GE Renewable Energy have signed a major framework agreement for the design, manufacture, and supply of GE’s battery energy storage system in the UK. This agreement reflects the commitment of Conrad Energy and GE to supporting the UK’s transition to a low carbon economy and is the next step for Conrad Energy in the build out of their growing 500MW battery pipeline.

Led by Volta Energy Technologies, the new investment enables 6K to further develop strategic material production processes focused on sustainability and lower costs while setting the stage for supply chain independence and domestic production for battery materials.

Over the last three decades, we’ve seen a shift from specialised units for various video and audio functions, to high performance hardware platforms which can be repurposed on-the-fly to support any AV processing, and now to virtualised media applications and microservices which can be spun up and deployed (and paid for) only when you need them (Figure 1). Rob Green, Senior Manager, Pro AV, Broadcast & Consumer, Xilinx, explains.

Factory automation has become a necessary process that modern-day manufacturing plants must adopt to remain competitive. To the average person, this process may look like replacing old machines with new ones. And while this is certainly a part of automation, another key component of automation is the building of an IIoT network.

As the world begins to emerge cautiously from the coronavirus pandemic lockdown, shops, offices, and public spaces are becoming accessible again. Some buildings can expect to see more people wishing to enter than others, yet it is crucial to appreciate that, while lockdown restrictions ease, the virus is still with us. Andreas Eckert, Product Development Manager at TTI, explains more.

Despite its reputation as one of the most fast-moving economies in the world, much planning goes into the development of Hong Kong’s densely populated land space. The City Gallery, which is managed by the planning department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government, showcases the vision of the region’s planning projects, both past and present. It also acts as a platform on which to engage and inform the public...

As many organisations move towards more sustainable and environmentally sound practices, we must take stock of the industries and operations with the largest impact. One such category is electronic waste, which not only comes from old and recycled equipment but also the production of those technologies - namely through electronics manufacturing. And since the manufacturing environmental impact is already monumental, it makes sense to adjust accor...
