If errors creep in during the assembly of components, costly post-processing is often the consequence. Automatic testing is difficult, especially where individual products are concerned. Now there is a new testing system that is flexible and economical, even for smaller production runs.
The market for solar farms is growing all over the world. Yet, the task of planning PV power plants to make them as efficient as possible is far from trivial. Fraunhofer researchers, working with Siemens Energy Photovoltaics, have developed software that simplifies conceptual design.
Fraunhofer researchers developed new software that can be used to analyze and optimize transport grids for electricity, gas and water even at the planning stage, based on numerical simulations.
Noise levels, fine particulate matter, traffic volumes - these data are of interest to urban planners and residents alike. A three-dimensional presentation will soon make it easier to handle them: as the user virtually moves through his city, the corresponding data are displayed as green, yellow or red dots.
Siemens' exhibit at the Hannover Messe 2012 will be focused on increased networking in industrial production. In keeping with its motto of "Connecting Productivity and Efficiency," Siemens wants to demonstrate how its customers can achieve both economic and environmental goals.
At this year's Hanover Fair, a technology model on the PI (PROFIBUS & PROFINET International) booth (Hall 9, Booth D05) will demonstrate the available performance upgrade for PROFINET with extremely short cycle times of 31.25 µs.
The less trains weigh, the more economical they are to run. A new material capable of withstanding extreme stresses has now been developed. It is suitable for a variety of applications, and it makes the respective components over 35 percent lighter than their steel and aluminum counterparts.
EU countries would have to set themselves binding national energy efficiency targets, and save energy by specific means such as renovating public buildings, under a draft EU directive approved by the European Parliament's Energy Committee.
The latest industrial PC (IPC) and operator terminal quarterly market tracker results from IMS Research show a year-on-year slowdown in revenue growth throughout 2011.
According to a study made by the ARC Advisory Group, the automation expenditures for the discrete industries market rebounded in 2010 after recovering from a deep global downturn in 2009.
According to a new report by IMS Research, the adoption of Ethernet in the Asia Pacific region is growing faster than in either EMEA or the Americas. Worldwide, Ethernet-based technologies will account for over 26% of all new networked nodes connected in industry in 2015.
Mushy tomatoes, brown bananas and overripe cherries – to date, waste from wholesale markets has ended up on the compost heap at best. In future it will be put to better use: Researchers have developed a new facility that ferments this waste to make methane, which can be used to power vehicles.
Conventional CMOS image sensors are not suitable for low-light applications such as fluorescence, since large pixels arranged in a matrix do not support high readout speeds. A new optoelectronic component speeds up this process. It has already been patented.
Global revenues from PLCs in 2010 were nearly 30% higher than in 2009, reaching an estimated at 8.2 billion US dollars, according to IMS Research’s latest report "The World Market for PLCs - 2011 Edition". The recovery from the downturn happened much earlier than had been generally expected.
A new IMS Research report on the world market for industrial PCs (IPCs) estimated total revenues of $2.07 billion in 2010. Strong growth is projected to 2015, with world IPC revenues reaching $3.52 billion. However, market recovery is now faltering in some principal economies as uncertainty reduces investment.
Given their capability to improve car safety, convenience and fuel efficiency, semiconductor magnetic sensors used in automotive motors will enjoy fast market growth with revenue expanding by nearly 40 percent in 2012, according to an IHS iSuppli MEMS & Sensors special report on magnetic sensors from information and analysis provider IHS.
