For years, Industry 4.0 has been a term that has grabbed the attention of not just business leaders, but political leaders too. Offering increased interconnectivity and networked intelligence through the Internet of Things (IoT) or other cyber-physical systems, Industry 4.0 is far more interlinked than revolutions before. However, there is a fine line between elegant networking and a tangle of hyper-automated systems, argues George Walker, Managi...

Magnetic materials are key to producing electric vehicles. Many of the electric vehicles on the market use kilograms of magnetic materials to drive their electric motors. In fact, over 80% of electric cars sold globally utilised permanent magnet-based motors in 2019. These magnets are typically made with rare-earth materials such as neodymium and dysprosium, which have a very geographically constrained supply chain.

When or if an effective COVID-19 vaccine is discovered, the next major challenge will be to scale up its development, clinical trials and manufacture to unparalleled levels, according to Design Momentum and Plextek. The two companies are working together to develop technology for a new range of lab-based collaborative robots.

There is one car for every five people on Earth, but the clock is ticking on petrol and diesel vehicles as the Electric Vehicle (EV) makes headway into the market. This means an estimated 1.4 billion cars will soon be obsolete, causing disruption to many of the accompanying industries. Here Neil Ballinger, Head of EMEA Sales atEU Automation, discusses the looming challenges that face automotive and adjacent industries.

Neousys Technology has released its latest SEMIL series, IP67 waterproof capable fanless GPU computers. Aiming to take industrial embedded computers to next level, it features patented system architecture (R.O.C Patent No. I697759), specialised chassis, custom-moulded O-ring sealed enclosure and robust M12 connectivity.

There is a race to 1,000km battery-electric vehicles (BEV) and beyond. For aircraft, that means safety and intercontinental travel from the longer possible battery durations. Meanwhile, the premature launch of vertical take-off air taxis will end in tears because they currently have a mere one-hour battery duration. Longer range vehicle batteries on the road means no more vehicles stopping to charge.

This webinar breaks down the total electric vehicle market across land, sea and air, discussing core enabling technologies and outlines key challenges on the road to electrification.

Electric vehicle powertrains are much more materially diverse than the internal-combustion engine vehicles they replace. As a result, they are putting sudden and unprecedented strain on several raw materials industries. One of the most crucial materials is Nickel, an essential part of the cathode in the Li-ion batteries enabling electrification.

We all knew it was coming, but the announcement still managed to send shockwaves through the media and the wider public. On 18th November, Boris Johnson announced that no petrol or diesel cars and vans would be sold in the UK from 2030.

The giant investors SpaceX, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Baidu, Toyota, Tesla, Hyundai, VW, LG, Apple and Virgin are involved in smart city hardware in ways you would not expect. Their involvement spans making complete smart cities from scratch to robot shuttles replacing ten types of vehicle, vertical take-off taxis, Hyperloop, vertical farming, battery elimination, solar and sensor everything and structural electronics.
