The new driver package means that any of Spectrum's high performance Digitisers, AWGs or Digital I/O products with PCIe interface, currently 65 different cards, can be used with this small but powerful platform.
The road to an autonomous plant
In July 2020, Elon Musk announced his plans for Tesla to achieve 'level five' autonomy by 2021. This gives the company little time to convert all car models to self-driving. While not all companies can promise to transform how we drive at such a rapid rate, autonomous vehicles are becoming more commonplace, both in consumer and industrial sectors, because of their many benefits. Here Ian Barnes, Head of Business at SITECH UK & Ireland,explore...
3 key Edge Computing considerations for machine builders
While theEdge Computingtechnology landscape is quite broad, there are several key characteristics that narrow the types of functions that apply specifically to a machine or equipment manufacturer. As OEMs evaluateedgetechnology to determine how it can decrease friction in the development of new machines, there are a few important considerations that should be evaluated to help ensure success. ByAric Prost, Sr. Director, OEM At Stratus Technologi...
Lidar demonstration boards drive 220A current lasers
Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) has announced the availability of theEPC9150, a 200V, high current, pulsed-laser diode driver demonstration board. In a lidar system, used to create 3-D maps for autonomous vehicle applications, speed and accuracy of object detection is critical.
BlackBerry expands partnership with Baidu to power autonomous driving

Minimising the cost of automotive repair by protecting the sensors
Manufacturing a car is both highly complex and expensive. It requires thousands of parts, including between 60 and 100 high-quality sensors, with many built into the engine to ensure that the owner can identify and prevent possible issues before they result in breakdowns and expensive repairs. Sensors are being deployed throughout the vehicle to meet evolving security and efficiency standards as well as to address environmental standards. Simon V...
