The Discovery: Postcards from the afterlife

March 17, 2018 by Sam Francis

the discovery 1

Being from a pre-internet age, I find it surprising when an online company makes or at least funds a good movie, and The Discovery is a very good movie. 

And it’s not just because Robert Redford stars in it that makes it look like a good movie, although that is definitely an advantage because he gives the film a sort of timeless quality and provides a link between an older generation who lived without many of the astounding technologies we know about and perhaps use today.

He’s also an appropriate casting selection for a Netflix movie because he’s a champion of independent films and founded the Sundance Film Festival. Not to mention the fact that he’s also been in some of the most memorable movies of all time, and some that are less well known but of a very high quality nonetheless.  [Read more…] about The Discovery: Postcards from the afterlife

The detection of objects in systems is an important part of automation today.

Objects have to be reliably detected and measured, as well as verifying that they are correctly positioned.

The scope of possible applications is almost limitless and is continuously expanding – for example, detecting valve and flap positions, the position of PV panels for optimal exposure to light, the position of a ship’s rudder, automation tasks in the machine-tool industry, and so on.  [Read more…] about Innovative sensors now also determine correct positioning for the world of Industry 4.0
