To be a semiconductor company used to mean that you fabricated your own chips, but today, most semiconductor companies are fabless whereby they leverage each other by allowing a chip foundry to aggregate everyone’s chip production. They benefit from unified design rules and better utilisation of production capacity. The foundries invest to improve their efficiencies and capacities by driving to new device geometry nodes and better device li...

AI (Artificial Intelligence) enables the implementation of automation processes using image processing not only better but also easier, faster and more efficient. Data Spree from Berlin shows how production and logistics can benefit from AI in the future. By Manuel Haß, Co-founder of Data Spree, and Chris Montague is Head of Edge Solution Sales EMEA at ADLINK

SICK has launched the versatile W4F family of miniature smart sensors, developed to achieve next-generation detection performance and incorporating powerful new optical technologies, each purpose-designed to master common sensing challenges in electronics with complete reliability.

Traction batteries are the key to electric vehicles (EVs) and present very different material requirements to the combustion engines they help replace. Their meteoric rise will lead to much greater demand for several materials markets which otherwise would see only modest growth.

Laser Lines has installed theStratasys J750 Digital Anatomy 3D Printerin CPI’s National Healthcare Photonics Centre. The Centre is a combination of bio-labs and instrument development facilities where companies can work alongsideCPIstaff in facilities for the development of medical technology using photonics.

TheWorld Robotics 2020 Industrial Robotsreport shows a record 2.7 million industrial robots are operating in factories around the world - and many of those are integrated into larger equipment. Here, Nigel Smith, Managing Director ofTM Robotics, gives an insight in what Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) look for when choosing a robot for their machines.

The humble bearing has many geometric factors such as radial play, axial play and the contact angle which are interlinked and must be carefully considered to ensure the optimal performance of the component.Here Chris Johnson, Managing Director atSMB Bearings explains what design engineers need to know about radial play.

In 2019, the US undersecretary of defense for research and engineering predicted that the army would have driverless vehicles before they were commercially available. More recently, Elon Musk has claimed that Tesla will have the technology for fully autonomous vehicles within a year. So, who is winning the race for Autonomous Vehicle (AV) technology? Here, Roger Brereton, Head of Sales atPailton Engineering, surveys the AV landscape in the milita...

The NCW AT family of wide terminal thin film chip resistors from Vishay has been extended with a new line of devices in the 0612 case size.

3D printing offers an efficient method to improve current manufacturing limits across economic sectors such as transport, construction, and medical and dental industries allowing rapid prototyping and on-site production and repairs. Progress in 3D printer development has led to faster, larger, and more accurate printers, but these require more functional materials.
