IoT accelerating the globalisation of food production
An Internet of Things (IoT) research study fromInmarsat,has found that agritech businesses are helping many food producers to meet increasingly stringent import requirements by monitoring production, food hygiene, and sustainability through the use of IoT. This will accelerate the globalisation of food production by enabling developing country food producers to export to developed economies, where these regulations originate from.

Schaeffler accelerates transformation
The strategic direction and long-term growth perspectives, were presented and explained by global automotive and industrial supplier Schaeffler, at this year’s Capital Markets Day which took place in Bühl with some 40 analysts and investors in attendance.Starting point was the strategy ‘Mobility for tomorrow’ announced last year and the proven model of an integrated automotive and industrial supplier with strong manufacturi...
SMD solid-state fuse suitable for harsh applications
An extremely robust SMD fuse has been introduced by SCHURTER. The new High Current Fuse, HCF, has been designed using solid-state/thin-film technology. The HCF is especially suited for use in particularly harsh applications, where the reliable interrupt of high currents is critical. SCHURTER's experience, acquired from the development of solid-state fuses for the space industry, and the cooperation with ESA, have led to the development of the HCF...
Taking a look at the A-Z listers of flying cars
Remember the days when people were dreaming of flying cars? Science-fiction films painted the vehicles out to be incredible futuristic, invinsible, handy creations, but now they are a reality, they may not be how everyone necessarily expected them to be. First of all, the world is nowhere near ready for flying cars, but they appear to be here to stay.
