Security is industry’s second nature
Back in December 2015 hackers hijacked the electrical systems of three major Ukrainian power distributors, and over 230,000 people were left without power for several hours.The uncertainty caused by the attack lasted much longer, especially since employees in both engineering and IT teams alike were initially unclear about how the hackers managed to infiltrate the system.
The week the IoT grew up
Steve Rogerson found that this year’s electronica saw IoT hype give way to reality.
Enhancing patient safety with digital health declarations
In collaboration with the Regional Development Council of Gävleborg (Region Gävleborg), Tieto has rolled out a solution for electronic health declarations to be filled out prior to surgery. The solution enhances the safety of patients while simultaneously relieving medical staff of time-consuming paperwork and is among the first in Sweden to use the national e-service, 1177 Vårdguiden in this way.
Predicting jumps in power input
Today’s commercially available silicon panels account for around 90% of total solar panel production. However, alternative solar technologies such as thin films (particularly perovskite solar cells) are developing rapidly.Renewables are considered the best energy source for reducing pollution and mitigating climate change.
Power can be tested for control and maintenance
Engineers can save time and target maintenane, by testing and configure circuit breakers from a PC via a USB port using the Power Xpert Release (PXR) from Eaton.
Lessons from electronica – the IoT revolution
