The real-time operating system redefined
The world of embedded systems is undergoing a significant evolution, affecting the role of the real-time operating system (RTOS) and the design of applications that rely on determinism, ultra-reliability, and performance. By Michel Genard, Vice President Product at Wind River
What does the future of IoT look like?
Gartner’s recent report claims that the ‘IoT market will grow to 5.8 billion endpoints in 2020,’ which is a 21% increase on the previous year. This figure highlights just how popular IoT is, not just with businesses, but with consumers around the world, who now use IoT devices to manage things in their everyday life.

Sustaining wind farms with VpCI technology
Wind and solar power are fast becoming the renewable energies of choice in countries across the globe. Offshore and onshore wind energy is emerging in and around the seas of the world. Now engineers are battling the question of how to make renewable infrastructure last.
Roboticist chairs global nuclear expert group
University of Birmingham Professor of Robotics, Rustam Stolkin, has been elected as Chair of a new international Expert Group on Robotic and Remote Systems (EGRSS) - part of the OECD’s global Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA), which brings together the governments of 33 member nations.
Seven cool things about the new VxWorks
Have you checked out the latest version of VxWorks? You really should.Wind River have announced that it is blazing trails to make the world’s leading real-time operating system (RTOS) even greater than before. Not only does the new VxWorks stay true to its four key pillars of security, safety, reliability, and certifiability, but it now includes a lot of cool features and capabilities that will appeal to software developers, both seasoned a...
Soil sensor minimises environmental damage
Murata has announced a highly accurate soil sensor that contains three sensors in one package. Aimed at the agricultural and horticultural industries, the sensor enables growers to increase the yield and quality of crops while experiencing lower costs associated with reduced water and fertiliser usage, these being the most important application areas for the sensor.
VxWorks now has a pet snake
I guess this was an easy one: Snake… Python… Hmmm…Part 1:Just to make sure, thePythonI am referring to is the simple and easy to learn programming language with the nice blue/yellow logo.Yes: Python is exciting. While my personal view did not come into play when I pulled the trigger on this investment, I do like Python a lot. I discovered it withBlenderyears ago and wrote my first Python program to export a scene so I could p...
Is plastic a better choice for fastening solutions?
Metal is the most common material used to create fastening solutions, however plastic fasteners offer a different and often more appropriate set of characteristics. Notably, they’re used in space – for example the Hubble Telescope and International Space Station are held together using plastic fasteners.
Components range grows to support increasing demand
Demanding engineering applications require extraordinary solutions based on exceptional components. This is the principle that drives WDS Component Parts to constantly expand its range of stainless steel parts.Stainless steel components are highly resistant to corrosion, so are favoured in environments that are wet, salty, corrosive, or otherwise challenging.
Miniature piezo force sensor covers wide measuring range
It has been announced that HBM’s new PACEline CFTplus series of piezoelectric force transducers is a well suited choice for making measurements in the production and manufacturing sectors. CFTplus sensors are particularly suitable for covering very large measuring ranges, for example, when using presses with a large measuring range.
