Digitalisation is the key theme at EMO Hannover 2017
If Industry 4.0 was merely the generic term for a new photo or TV application, the publicity slogan for the EMO Hannover 2017 might perhaps be ‘Industry 4.0 – the wish list’ or ‘Industrial Internet of Things – because I’m not stupid’. The fair’s keynote theme of ‘Connecting systems for intelligent production’ is more complex, but has nonetheless been well received among exhibitors.
Tool technology will be indispensable for Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0 is progressively emerging as the crucial factor in the race for leading edge technology and market shares in the future. And time is running out for the German machinery and plant manufacturers.
Microchip identifies circulating tumour chips
The higher the concentration of tumor cells in the bloodstream, the greater the risk of metastasis. The number of circulating tumour cells indicates how well a patient is responding to therapy. Fraunhofer researchers have developed a new microhole chip that enables cells to be identified and characterised reliably within minutes.The conventional method of FACS analysis (fluorescence-activated cell sorting) provides only a rough estimate of the nu...
