Tech basis set for high performance electronic circuit breakers
A German research team has explored the technological basis for reducing the energy losses in power grids and electric devices by more than half. This can be made possible through the use of DC. DC allows for smaller power losses when compared to the alternating current (AC) used today. The five project partners from industry and science investigated the foundations of a semiconductor-based and completely electronic circuit breaker that can be us...
IoT industrial gateway aimed at students, makers
To target an audience of students, makers, geeks and young engineers RS Components (RS) says that store.Arduino.cc has been appointed as official global resellerof the SIMATIC IOT2020 IoT industrial gateway, which is manufactured by Siemens. RS is the sole supplier to the market for the SIMATIC IOT2020.
Experts receive £4m robotics grant to boost wind farms
Scientists at Heriot-Watt University are part of a consortium of experts delivering a human-robotics hybrid solution for the maintenance and operation of offshore wind farms.
Product testing getting you down? There's a cobot for that
How do you make sure that a product can handle the wear and tear of an expected life cycle and that all safety and quality standards are met? You test it. Over and over again.Nothing is more repetitive than product testing – lending itself to one of the “3D jobs” that robots excel at: dirty, dangerous…and dull.Increasingly, collaborative robots – or cobots - are now being used for product testing.
Report reveals public support for driverless cars in UK
A landmark study revealing broad public support for driverless vehicles on Britain’s roads has been published byWestbourne Communications.Following a highly competitive bid process, the People in Autonomous Vehicles in Urban Environments (PAVE) consortium secured joint funding by government and industry. The competition was delivered by Innovate UK, the UK’s innovation agency.
Robot population swells in industrial environments
Driven by the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), the global market for robotics in manufacturing is steadily gathering pace, despite the fact that some manufacturing companies are unclear about the benefits of the industrial cloud.
A woman's touch coming to UK engineering
The Institution of Engineering and Technology’s (IET) Diamond Jubilee Scholarships are making history this year, as for the first time more than half of the recipients of the prestigious engineering scholarship programme are female.
Multi-CAD product improves geometry quality
The release of V19.3 has been announced by Theorem Solutions as its latest version of Theorem’s NX to CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE Multi-CAD product that supports CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE R2016x, and includes general updates to improve geometry quality.
Meeting the future workforce at Lincoln College Engineering Fair
At its fith annual event, Lincoln College is offering engineering firms the chance to recruit its best students to apprenticeships.
Offshore turbine design maximises cost reduction
As the global offshore wind power market continues its phenomenal growth, technologies are evolving to support lower project costs, and ultimately, lower cost of energy.The increasing size of wind turbines captures much of the attention surrounding that evolution, but the substructures that support the tower, nacelle and blades, are not to be overlooked, and are proving equally vital in reducing overall project costs.
