Goals to capture growth in agricultural lighting
A specialist in lighting, Signify, has expanded its business for agricultural lighting by acquiring Once, based in Plymouth, Minnesota, and iLox, based in Vechta, Germany. Once and iLox work in the design and manufacturing of animal-centric lighting. These tailor-made lighting systems improve the quality of life for livestock, which leads to healthier and enhanced production for the farmer.
Rugged open source inertial measurement unit sensor launched
ACEINNA hasannounced its new OpenIMU300RI. A rugged, sealed-package, open-source, nine-Degree-of-Freedom (9-DoF) Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) for autonomous off road, construction, agricultural and automotive vehicle applications. This new open-source IMU, allows engineers to easily optimise an attitude, navigation or other algorithm for their vehicle/application and run it in on the IMU.
Slimline position sensor lowers production costs
The PST-360 from PIHER, now available from Rutronik UK, is a slimline, 12 mm height, package solution sensor mounted directly into the shaft, with no gears. Completely contactless, the position sensor provides excellent repeatability, accuracy, resolution, linearity and high stability even under harsh environmental conditions.
Graphene linear array sensor to launch at Laser World of Photonics
Graphene Flagshippartner, Emberion, is launching a new VIS-SWIR graphene photodetector at Laser World of Photonics on 24th to 27th June in Munich, Germany. Showcased in Hall A2 at stand 113/3, the linear array can enable on-site analysis of food and agriculture products using infrared detection - at a lower cost than existing indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) infrared sensors.
Biomass can help deliver UK heat decarbonisation
Biomass could play a pivotal role in heat decarbonisation and help the UK meet its renewable heat targets, according to AMP Clean Energy. Around six percent of heat in the UK currently comes from renewable sources, but EU targets require it to double to 12% by 2020.
Who and what was worth seeing at PCIM 2019?
Power is always an interesting topic as it is a necessity in life, but after visiting my first ever PCIM show this week it has opened my eyes as to how big the automotive power sector is, and how much it is expected to grow.Of course the big players in the automotive industry continue to innovate, but PCIM this year saw more companies starting to become involved in automotive power, whereas before they stuck to the more energy and industrial side...
What changes are occurring in the connector market?
The interconnection market is a difficult one for designers and buyers alike. Longer delivery times, product discontinuations, higher minimum quantities and an immense variety of products and variants create uncertainty. Connectors distributor Heilind explains how it supports its customers with service and consulting offers.
Testing and certification of horticultural lighting
It has been announced that SGS has been authorised by the DesignLights Consortium (DLC) as an approved Safety Certification body for the testing and certification of LED-based horticultural lighting. The DLC, a non-profit organisation dedicated to accelerating the widespread adoption of high-performing commercial lighting solutions.
The weakest link?
The cost of IoT sensors continues to fall annually allowing more and more organisations in industries that operate across large areas, such as agriculture and utilities, to roll out remote IoT and M2M deployments. To ensure these projects achieve strong ROI, hardware has to tough it out in harsh conditions with minimal maintenance. Andy Bird, Managing Director of GTT Wireless, discusses the requirements for antennas selected for rugged wireless d...
