Instinct tells us 'safety first'
A top priority for specifiers responsible for sourcing socket outlets has always been safety, and it always will be.This is particularly the case in commercial builds, in which thousands of people will use sockets to access electricity on a daily basis. It’s important to feel confident that the accessories you’ve sourced are free of danger when its people’s safety in your hands.
Cloud-connectable kit offers fast IoT-device development
The high-connectivity STM32L4 IoT Discovery kit (B-L475E-IOT01A) from STMicroelectronics gives unrivalled flexibility for developers building IoT nodes by supporting multiple low-power wireless standards and Wi-Fi, while integrating a complete collection of motion, gesture, and environmental sensors, unavailable on other kits in the market.

Robotics prove the catalyst for US job creation
Last year saw the US automotive industry install a record number of industrial robots, approximately 17,500. These figures have been published by the Statistical Department of the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) and have also shown that the operational stock of industrial automotive robots has risen by about 52,000 units in the years 2010 to 2016. During the same period, the number of jobs in the US automotive sector rose by 260,600 - ...

Do you always feel like someone’s watching? They might be
How many devices do you have connected to your home WiFi? If your home is like many others, you probably have more than you think. It’s not just your computers and mobile devices transmitting data over your home network, it’s your connected thermostat, the smart hub (like the Amazon Echo), your smart TV, maybe even your refrigerator. And while these devices make our lives easier, they also make us more vulnerable to criminals and thie...
Partnership aims for scalable multi-protocol industrial ethernet platform
Creating cost-efficient and compact industrial slave devices that can connect to any Real-Time Ethernet network is now simpler, through the combination of the STM32 ecosystem with the multi-protocol flexibility of Hilscher’s netX control ICs.The results of this collaboration are the I-NUCLEO-NETX expansion board, for use with any STM32 Nucleo-64/-144 dev board, and the I-CUBE-NETX, an STM32Cube software expansion for combining netX 52 netwo...
