Remote access to electronics and machines around the globe is gaining importance quickly, both in industry and other areas related to it. Experts point out that remote control and monitoring are some of the most important mechanisms for increasing productivity and reducing costs, raising the interest of companies to implement them. The need for information […]
Across the world since the early days of electrical testing, the oscilloscope has established its position as the device to turn to for monitoring waveforms. We can safely say that there is not a single person working with electrical signals that has not heard of the oscilloscope, and that the instrument has served us well […]
Increased connectivity and bandwidth is becoming ever more important for the running of today’s businesses. A fast, always-on, and reliable internet connection has become as crucial to us as gas, electricity and water in our everyday lives. An Infosecurity study from as far back as 2013 found that 38% of Londoners would be more stressed […]
Conductive inks are a wonderfully adaptive technology. This characteristic has enabled them to stay relevant and to rejuvenate themselves over the past several decades. This is because as old markets have struggled or declined the technology has managed to find and/or create new uses. Several years ago, a new frontier called in-mold electronics (IME) started […]
Thermography is a method for checking the actual condition of buildings and for determining the potential for energy savings. Climate change and the growing demand for energy represent one of the greatest global challenges. Because a relevant proportion of emissions involve the building sector, special efforts are needed in this area to achieve internationally agreed […]
Have you ever wondered how difficult life would be without standards? Consider the importance of standards in everyday lives. Standards make these and many more things possible. When a person brings an electric adaptor on an international trip, electrical standards make it possible to plug in a computer or electric shaver at any hotel around […]
Industrial internet of things (IIoT) refers to a multidimensional and tightly coupled chain of systems involving edge devices, cloud applications, sensors, algorithms, safety, security, vast protocol libraries, human-machine interfaces (HMI), and other elements that must interoperate. When dealing with the timescale of industrial equipment, which has critical subsystems that operate on a scale of hundreds […]
Embedding a processor inside a field programmable gate array (FPGA) has many advantages. Specific peripherals can be chosen based on the application, with unique user-designed peripherals being easily attached. A variety of memory controllers enhance the FPGA embedded processor system’s interface capabilities. FPGA embedded processors use general-purpose FPGA logic to construct internal memory, processor busses, […]
Software-defined instrumentation is a paradigm shift from traditional box-style instruments, which are defined largely by their hardware and the inaccessible software they run, to instruments which are defined less by their hardware and much more by software that is under user control. While there is traction in the measurement industry, it is unlikely that software-defined instruments […]
Terrestrial trunked radio (TETRA) is a professional trunking standard used in the public safety sector. It is a mature and stable technology supporting flexible networking with a powerful error correction and anti-interference capabilities. It also possesses the advantages of a complete industry chain and wide coverage. In a world where technology is developing faster that […]
