Where Innovation Meets Imagination
Road accidents are common and in some cases, they are unavoidable.
However, most car crashes are caused by human error which can be prevented if all drivers exercise caution on the roads.
There are different measures that you can take to avoid crashes when you are driving. Read on to learn how to avoid and prevent common car accidents. [Read more…] about How to Avoid and Prevent Common Car Accidents
Modernization of our world is an inevitable process as our everyday needs drive innovation in every field out there.
The thing is, progress is never a straightforward process. It is without a doubt that it improves our lives, but some drawbacks are inevitable. In some cases, new problems arise as well. That being said, what does the full picture say?
Well, it’s hard to say. The consensus on this topic has not been reached, and it is a source of constant debate – among scientists and regular people as well. [Read more…] about How Modernization of Our World Reflects in Our Well-Being
With all the new technology being developed lately, it’s common to worry about job security, especially when we consider that robotics and automation are bound to eventually replace a lot of workers. In fact, it’s pretty common to find businesses automating tasks that we once performed by humans.
Not only are machines more reliable, they’re also unhindered by things like fatigue and stress, which essentially minimizes the margin of error.
Coupled with the Covid-19 pandemic and the migration of business to the online landscape, job security is now more important than ever. [Read more…] about Are Robots After Your Job?
Since the 1980s, 3D Printing has become more and more common in the industry. Also known as additive manufacturing, it is basically the process of putting together a three-dimensional object from a computer-generated CAD or 3D model.
Multiple computer-controlled processes are involved. Among the most commonly observed is the layer-by-layer joining of materials and eventual solidification.
3D printing offers a lot of advantages. Among the most frequently cited benefit is its ability to expedite production. [Read more…] about Common 3D Printing Issues (and How to Address Them)
Canon has launched the FPA-8000iW, which it describes as the first Canon semiconductor lithography system to support manufacturing using large panels that are common in back-end processing.
Integrating a proprietary projection optical system, the FPA-8000iW i-line stepper offers a wide exposure field and fine 1 µm† pattern resolution.
The FPA-8000iW was designed to meet the needs of manufacturers aiming for high production efficiency through the use of 515 x 510 mm organic panel substrates for Panel Level Packaging (PLP) applications. [Read more…] about Canon launches new semiconductor lithography system
The Open Manufacturing Platform has expanded, with new steering committee members and new working groups established.
OMP is an alliance founded in 2019 to help manufacturing companies accelerate innovation at scale through cross-industry collaboration, knowledge and data sharing as well as access to new technologies.
The OMP was founded under the umbrella of the Joint Development Foundation, which is part of the Linux Foundation. [Read more…] about Open Manufacturing Platform expands with new industrial giants joining
Omron has introduced its sixth wave of factory automation control equipment.
The company says the devices are built on a common design platform for unified product specifications, for further innovation in control panel building.
The products will be available as 237 models in six categories. [Read more…] about Omron introduces new control panel equipment for factory automation
A group of leading companies from the automotive and computing industries have formed collaborative effort toward making fully self-driving vehicles a reality.
The new Autonomous Vehicle Computing Consortium (AVCC), officially launched recently at Arm TechCon in San Jose, brings together industry leaders from automotive, automotive supply, semiconductor and computing to serve as the leading organization for autonomous computing expertise.
Together with the consortium’s growing membership, the initial AVCC members Arm, Bosch, Continental, Denso, General Motors, Nvidia, NXP Semiconductors and Toyota will collaborate to help solve some of the most significant challenges to deploy self-driving vehicles at scale.

One of the world’s leading robotics and automation systems manufacturers, Omron, says it will introduce a total of 15,583 models in seven categories in its second wave of factory automation control devices built on a common design platform for unified product specifications.
Omron says it has been continuing to work for the innovation of making control panels which house and control factory automation devices on the production front line.
The company unified the design and size of factory automation devices, and introduced products in April 2016 which are built with the company’s proprietary wiring technology “Push-In Plus Terminal Block” for device and control panel makers in need of “downsizing and space-saving” of factory automation devices and control panels, “expedited delivery”, and “response to globalization”.
