Keysight Technologies, Inc., a leading technology company that delivers advanced design and validation solutions to help accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world , announced that it has joined the Intel Foundry Services (IFS) Accelerator Electronic Design Automation (EDA) Alliance program.
Photonics focuses on the use of light with all its possibilities. From light control to laser technologies and data transmission, photonics is used in many fields such as medicine, industry, astronomy, microscopy or traffic safety. One of the leading research institutes in this field is the Dresden Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS.
Desktop Metal, a leader in mass production additive manufacturing (AM) solutions, today announced the company has installed more than 1,100 3D printing systems for metal components worldwide.
The remobilization of finger joints that have been damaged by illness or injury is an emerging market in the field of demand-driven patient care. The FingerKIt consortium, which brings together five Fraunhofer institutes, uses AI to develop personalized 3D-printed joint implants so that these delicate finger parts can be replaced when necessary.
The advanced sensor generation is clearly focused in industry 4.0 functions like machine monitoring, predictive maintenance and process optimization. The launch of two additional designs provides greater flexibility of use in industrial applications.
Direct-drive motion solutions have a performance advantage over conventional mechanical transmission systems but this comes at a premium. However, considering the value of the reduction in the total cost of ownership that can be presented to end users, integrating a direct-drive solution could help OEMs increase their rewards. With fewer components involved, a direct-drive solution can also speed up and simplify machine build.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) states that leveraging the digital twin to support Industry 4.0 business models could increase operational efficiency by ten per cent, to simulate the behaviour of real machines for operational gains.
