DirectIndustry e-magazine: What is the technology behind SupraGripper? Georg Berner: SupraGripper uses superconductors to levitate the gripper modules. Below a certain temperature, superconductor materials can “freeze” the field of a permanent magnet, allowing them or the magnet to hover at a defined distance. The resultant gap remains stable regardless of orientation...
For all the talk and hype surrounding the digitization of manufacturing, the speed of this transformation has often seemed painfully slow. The efficiencies and insights promised by new connected systems remain out of reach for many manufacturers who are eager to modernize their plants and rethink their business models. In an effort to accelerate the move to Industry 4.0,...
According to the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA, smart robots offer new, customer-oriented solutions that improve manufacturing processes. Dr. Werner Kraus, from the department for Robot and Assistive Systems, explains: Cyber-physical systems will play a key role in managing the increasing complexity of production systems. These ...
For at least 10 years, the IT industry promoted the concept of big data: the idea that huge volumes of external data will be indispensable to business. But some companies found the data they needed was closer to home. Exploiting dark data—internal files and logs which have served their immediate purpose and are now in storage—could be worth millions. Seeing in the Dar...
It’s now 25 years since the International Color Consortium (ICC) was formed and the ICC colour management technology introduced. The ICC started as a joint effort between Adobe, Agfa, Apple, Kodak and Microsoft. Their idea was that colour management should be done starting at the computer operating system level, and that all applications should do it in the same way. Thi...
Ursalink recently worked with our partner to implement a digital farming pilot project in Austria. This pilot project focuses on collecting, reading and visualizing data acquired from several LoRaWAN sensors deployed in a crop health management solution as plants need to be protected from harmful weather conditions when they are still delicate and particularly prone to d...
Researchers from MIT and Stanford developed Rovables, miniature wearable robots that can drive around your body while hanging onto your clothes. The little rovers use their magnetic gripping wheels to cling to fabric. A set of sensors and AI tools allow them to be autonomous, and they have a battery life of 45 minutes. The engineers believe the Rovables could be of pract...
One of the most striking demos at this year’s San Francisco meeting was a Siri-like voice interface which makes it possible to have very realistic remote conversations with a machine. During an interview with FastCompany, a GE representative contacted a Southern California turbine. Its virtual “twin” has an online life, continuously fed with data from sensors placed on t...
