Where Innovation Meets Imagination
Oil prices are a critical economic indicator with far-reaching implications for industries, governments, and consumers worldwide.
Understanding the distribution of oil prices is essential for making informed decisions in energy trading, investment, and policy-making.
One powerful statistical technique for gaining insights into oil price distributions is Kernel Density Estimation (KDE). [Read more…] about Kernel Density Estimation Techniques for Oil Price Distribution Analysis
Dimensionics Density has unveiled a density determination technology for additive manufacturing which “contributes to the automation of the additive manufacturing process chain”.
As additive manufacturing is adopted more and more as a production technology, the entire additive manufacturing process chain is under intense scrutiny, but especially in the area of part validation, with finished additive manufacturing parts and components now routinely used in critical end-use applications.
Philipp Pruesse, head of sales at Dimensionics Density, says: “Our technology plays straight into the need for automation in the area of validation and quality control of AM (additive manufacturing) parts, and we have launched an array of tools focussed on the determination of AM part density.

China’s massive investment in industrial robotics has put the country in the top ranking of robot density, surpassing the United States for the first time, according to a report by the International Federation of Robotics.
The number of operational industrial robots relative to the number of workers hit 322 units per 10,000 employees in the manufacturing industry. Today, China ranks in fifth place.
The world’s top 5 most automated countries in manufacturing 2021 are: South Korea, Singapore, Japan, Germany and China. [Read more…] about China overtakes USA in robot density
The use of industrial robots in factories around the world is accelerating at a high rate: 126 robots per 10,000 employees is the new average of global robot density in the manufacturing industries.
That is nearly double the number five years ago. In 2015, the figure was 66 units.
This is according to the 2021 World Robot Report, published by the International Federation of Robotics.
By regions, the average robot density in Asia/Australia is 134 units, in Europe 123 units and in the Americas 111 units. The top 5 most automated countries in the world are: South Korea, Singapore, Japan, Germany, and Sweden. [Read more…] about Global industrial robot density in manufacturing sector doubles over 2021
Magna has been awarded a grant by the US Department of Energy to develop and “auto-qualify” advanced electric motor technologies for next-generation vehicle propulsion systems.
In partnership with the Illinois Institute of Technology and University of Wisconsin-Madison, Magna is applying its powertrain, electronics and full-vehicle expertise to deliver an automotive-grade, high-performance electric motor that aims to achieve increased power density and reduced cost compared to current e-motors.
The project objective is to develop an electric motor that is half the cost and eight times the power density, while delivering 125 kW of peak power – similar to packing a gallon of milk into a pint-size container. [Read more…] about Magna to develop ‘affordable’ electric motor
Hitachi Automotive Systems, Ltd.’s electric vehicle (EV) inverter has been adopted by Audi for its first mass production EV, the e-tron, which went on sale in Europe in March this year.
With tightened environmental regulations around the world, many countries are driving for greater adoption of electric vehicles.
This has led to the demand for more efficient and higher-output electric motors, inverters, and other electric powertrain systems that will contribute to high performance EVs.
