The vision for the Fourth Industrial Revolution - or Industry 4.0 - was presented at the Hannover Messe fair in Germany in 2011. The term Industry 5.0 was borne out of the Japanese invention - Society 5.0 at the CeBIT 2017 trade fair in Hannover, Germany. While Industry 4.0 was [...]
Due to environmental degradation reaching alarming levels over the years, many countries have mandated environmentally friendly manufacturing practices. The tyre industry is no different. What is EUDR? The new EU regulation (European Union Deforestation Regulation - EUDR), which came into force in June 2023, aims to curtail the use of [...]
Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) solutions are being adopted by manufacturers to address the reduced size and complexity challenges while also addressing heat management issues experienced in today’s data centres. Frantic development of smaller, faster, cheaper and greener transceivers/active components and passive components is driving the development of high-speed networks and 5G, Photonic [...]
Emerging technologies have been the driving force of each industrial revolution. Currently, manufacturing is driven by the technologies of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0). The current manufacturing scenario in Industry 4.0 is marked by the increasing use of digital technology, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, nanotechnology, biotechnology, renewable energy, and [...]
The assembly line has evolved from the first manned assembly line in the early 1900s to the robotic assembly lines today What is an Assembly Line? An assembly line is a systematic arrangement of machines and/or people, each carrying out a repeatable task on a product as it moves along [...]
Satellites and spacecraft, as with any other equipment, need reliable power supply to power the on-board devices. Any satellite mission is based on the orbit type, expected mission life, potential radiation hazards, type of payload, weight, and cost, each varying the power supply requirements. Types of power used Satellites are [...]
