When it comes to cars that drive themselves, most people are still hesitant. There are similar reservations with respect to onboard sensors gathering data on a driver’s current state of health. As part of the SECREDAS project, a research consortium including the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering IESE is investigating the safety, security and privacy of these systems. The aim is to boost confidence in such technology.
The latest STM32H7A3, STM32H7B3, and STM32H7B0 Value Line microcontrollers (MCUs) combine 280MHz Arm® Cortex®-M7 core performance, high memory density, and power savings for future generations of smart objects.
In order process huge components using automated plasma cutting systems down to micrometer accuracy, it is necessary to carry out reliable 3D measurements of these components in advance.
Attendees at the largest automation technology trade show in the Western U.S. will experience how collaborative robots from industry leader Universal Robots now automate some of the most sought-after tasks in a manufacturing industry facing severe labor shortages.
At the end of 2018, the LTI Motion Group, a leading supplier of high-tech drive solutions based in Lahnau/Germany, was acquired by the globally active automation specialist KEBA, which has its headquarters in Linz/Austria.
The Pilz series of “Automation on Tour” events will launch from March 2020 with the “Safe Automation” seminar series.
