Although they’ve been superseded in some applications by newer technologies such as SSRs (Solid State Relays), EMRs (Electromechanical Relays) still have a lot to offer. Avnet Abacus' Mathias Goebel explains.

A new LED matrix control IC launched by Omron Electronic Components Europe supports a smooth fade-in and fade-out of LED brightness, so that the transition is undetectable to the human eye at any point.

Libra Industries has announced that is has completed the installation of two Omron CDK VP5200-V Solder Paste Inspection systems. A second system was installed at the Libra Industries’ Mentor facility and one was installed at the Dallas facility.

Electromechanical relays are continually evolving and adapting to meet the requirements of new generations of applications. For example, longer endurance power relays are needed to address smart meter applications and devices that can withstand higher inrush current are required for inductive load applications like energy efficient lighting.

Omron Electronic Components Europe is launching a new dust sensor module, offering four times greater sensitivity compared with other LED dust sensors on the market. The higher performance and greater sensitivity of the sensor will allow tighter pollution control as well as the creation of more effective air purifiers and similar systems.Omron’s Dust Sensor is able to detect particles as small as 1 micron, less than half the size of the PM2...

Omron Electronic Components have announced a faster version of its face recognition module, boasting a maximum recognition speed of up to ten times that of the existing unit. Using Omron’s HVC module, any embedded developer can add face recognition functionality to a system without the need to understand the algorithms or the optical design.

The B5T HVC-P2 face detection sensor modules from Omron Electronic Components are now in stock at Mouser Electronics. These fully integrated Human Vision Component (HVC) plug-in modules are based on the Omron OKAO Vision Image Sensing Technology, a set of image recognition routines developed by Omron that can identify human bodies and faces with speed and accuracy.

Omron Electronic Components Europe is launching Aerial Imaging technology in Europe, allowing directions and other images to appear floating in the air in shopping malls, transport terminals and other locations.Commenting, Gabriele Fulco, European Product Marketing Manager Sensors of Omron said, “This is the future of signage. We believe that aerial imaging will become a commonly used feature of our cities and public spaces.

Energy harvesting is off-grid production of electricity where it is needed using ambient energy such as wind, tide and waves or just vibration. At power levels of watts to megawatts it is a great success. Examples are the bicycle dynamo, small wind turbine and regenerative braking in vehicles - even conventional ones - nowadays. See the IDTechEx Research report, Mild Hybrid 48V Vehicles 2016-2031.

Industry 4.0 is a concept that has shaped automation dramatically since its conception at the 2011 Hannover Fair. Attaining a ‘smart factory’ requires total interoperability and the utmost transparency of information between devices – which means SCADA software is required to be more versatile than ever before.
