The Grid-EYE App for iOS, which enables capturing data from the Grid-EYE evaluation kit via the Bluetooth smart module PAN1740 on to a smartphone has been announced byPanasonic Automotive and Industrial Systems Europe. The data from the Grid-EYE evaluation kit (integrating a Grid-EYE sensor, a nanopower PAN1740 Bluetooth Smart module and a microcontroller) consists of 64 pixels temperature values which correspond to the 8x8 pixels of the Grid-EYE...

Manchester is set to host 'Industry 4.0 Summit', which will be Europe's first dedicated exhibition for the 4th Industrial Revolution. With the manufacturing industry preparing for a significant step-change, the city was chosen as the world's first truly industrial city to host the inaugural - 'Industry 4.0 Summit'.

To most of us, the mention of an e-paper display will remind us of devices like Amazon’s Kindle e-reader. But it’s not just e-readers that use this display technology. There are applications across many sectors such as in retail, marketing and travel. According to research company Technavio, the global e-paper display market is predicted to experience a huge compound annual growth rate of 41% over the period 2016 to 2020.

With a growing number of people connecting to the Internet everyday, Internet cables are under the threat of a "bandwidth explosion."Free-space optical (FSO) communication is a promising candidate to lighten the load. FSO uses visible or infrared light to wirelessly transmit data through open air as opposed to using cables, which have limited bandwidth. The technology provides a low-cost and low-power alternative to traditional radio-frequency wi...

New research has been welcomed by Newey & Eyre, which shows building controls will be high priority when it comes to business’ green investments this year. The research also suggests working with a reputable supplier is crucial to success.

Smart factories alone are not enough if the global manufacturing sector is going to fully embrace the opportunities presented by Industry 4.0. Instead, businesses need to concentrate their efforts on creating smart value chains, which connect people, products and communities.

George Bachand, a Sandia National Laboratories bioengineer at the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies, is exploring a better, more permanent method for encrypting and storing sensitive data: DNA. Compared to digital and analog information storage, DNA is more compact and durable and never becomes obsolete.Readable DNA was extracted from the 600,000-year-old remains of a horse found in the Yukon.

Designed for use in brightness detection and smart switching in high end and standard smart phones, tablet PCs, residential smart lighting and digital signage applications, EVERLIGHT Electronics has announced the APM-16D17-05-DF8 and APM-16D17-06-DF8 three-in-one sensor modules.

Over 90% of manufacturing data is never used because businesses are spending too much time trying to analyse big data instead of turning useful data into foresight.That was the view from Hewlett Packard Enterprise at this year’s Manufacturing Forum, organised by the Economist Events.

A project called LightChEC, running at the University ofZurich since the beginning of 2013,focuses on "turning solar energy into chemical energy".The researchers involved are aiming to refine artificial photosynthesis to make it suitable as a means for supplying energy to industry and society. Three Empa scientists, Andreas Borgschulte, Karl-Heinz Ernst and Andreas Züttel, are carrying out research as part of LightChEC. Ernst and Züttel...
