Bosch analysis: Driver assistance systems continue their strong advance

March 13, 2018 by Anna

People buying new cars today in Germany and Europe are placing more and more value on having electronic assistants on board, says Bosch, based on analysis carried out on new registration statistics for 2016.

“There is a clear trend: it will soon be just as natural to have cars fitted with driver assistance systems as it is with a radio and ESP,” says Bosch board of management member Dr Dirk Hoheisel.

Parking and lane assist systems, as well as emergency braking systems are becoming increasingly popular, with 62 percent of new passenger cars registered in Germany in 2016 being equipped with some kind of parking assistance system – ranging from parking beepers to automatic parking assistants.

New research: Industrial robotics market to reach $40 billion by 2020

March 13, 2018 by Anna

The global Industrial Robotics Industry was estimated at $25.68 billion in 2013 and is expected to reach $40 billion by 2020, according to market research by Million Insights.

The desire to reduce operational costs by many manufacturing companies is expected to drive the global market growth, which can be majorly attributed to the adoption of automation through robotics.

Average labor costs in China have been rising by nearly 10 per cent yearly. The use of robots in industries has helped to reduced workers idle time by 80 per cent and save more than 50 per cent of the production cost, leading to significant cost savings.

SwissLitho develops more simple technique for nano-lithography

March 13, 2018 by David Edwards

N10nm pattern generation using thermal scanning probe lithography enabled by simplified materials and processes, says SwissLitho

Thermal scanning probe lithography (tSPL) has been used to create patterns with sub-20 nm half-pitch resolution.

Pattern generation uses a thermally sensitive resist and spin coatable hard mask materials to transfer the resist patterns.

Spin coatable materials permit users of tSPL to reduce time and cost of the patterning process.  [Read more…] about SwissLitho develops more simple technique for nano-lithography

Opinion: Putting artificial intelligence to work in industrial operations

March 13, 2018 by David Edwards

By Michael Ford, Aegis Software

Industry 4.0 describes both a business model and technology process for factories, to both require and enable them to become super-efficient whilst also being super-flexible.

Traditional approaches to automation in machinery and robotics continue to be successful, but, are mainly focused on specific production operations, leaving critical operational level decision-making on the “to do” list.

Well, if we don’t get to it soon, someone else will do it for us, and it may not be a human.  [Read more…] about Opinion: Putting artificial intelligence to work in industrial operations

Digitalisation and the greatest industrial show on Earth

March 13, 2018 by Abdul Montaqim

Hannover Messe is probably the largest and most important industrial technology show on Earth. 

The venue for the event spans an area the size of a small town and it takes several days to visit all of the most important areas you might be interested in.

Covering an event of that magnitude from a journalistic point of view can be difficult if you’re interested in too many things.  [Read more…] about Digitalisation and the greatest industrial show on Earth
