Building Automation And Industrial IoT Converge
By Apurba Pradhan - 08 Aug, 2019 - Comments: 0

Most of us don’t think too much about the environment where we work each day, but it takes a great deal of effort behind the scenes to make people feel physically comfortable. Building Automation Systems (BAS) are at the heart of the facilities where we spend eight (or more) hours a day, and are designed to centralize control of the heating/ventilation/air conditioning (HVAC), lighting, eleva... » read more

Using Technology To Improve Beer And Wine
By Jen Bernier-Santarini - 16 Jul, 2019 - Comments: 0

For those people who enjoy a glass of Cabernet, Sauvignon Blanc, or Pilsner, you know that the temperature of that beverage is key to its enjoyment. Serve a red wine too chilled, and it ruins the flavor. And let’s not even get into the flavor of a warm lager. If you’re curious about how temperature affects the flavor of wine, check out this short and entertaining video from Wine Folly. Ask... » read more

Why Choose NI For PMUs And Wide Area Monitoring
By NI - 11 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 0

PMUs have helped foster high speed data gathering from the grid with some utilities capturing phasor data as fast as 1 sample per cycle. As adoption and experience with PMU data grows, new possibilities emerge to help better monitor and control the dynamic health of a utility grid. PMUs built on NI technology have several advantageous features that can help utilities, power systems engineers, a... » read more

Next Wave Of Security For IIoT
By Kevin Fogarty and Ed Sperling - 07 Mar, 2019 - Comments: 0

A rush of new products and services promise to make the famously un-secured Industrial IoT (IIoT) substantially more secure in the near future. Although the semiconductor industry has been churning out a variety of security-related products and concepts, ranging from root of trust approaches to crypto processors and physically unclonable functions, most IIoT operations have been slow to adop... » read more

The Growing Promise Of Printed Electronics
By Ed Sperling - 10 Dec, 2018 - Comments: 1

Printing electronics using conductive ink rather than lithography is starting to move out of the research phase, with chipmakers now looking at how to commercialize this technology across a broad range of sensor applications. Unlike traditional semiconductors, which use tiny wires as circuits, printed electronics rely on conductive inks and often flexible films, although they can be printed ... » read more

Digital Fabrication’s Promise And Potential Pitfalls
By Judy Davies - 10 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor functionality continues to expand, enabling robotic machines to analyze problems, make decisions and communicate information better than ever. These capabilities open the door for new applications such as Industry 4.0, a term now commonly used throughout Europe and the U.S. (more on Japan’s interpretation to follow). By integrating the performance capabilities of the Internet of... » read more

Predictive Maintenance In Tomorrow’s Industries
By Olaf Enge-Rosenblatt - 09 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

By Olaf Enge-Rosenblatt and Steven Brandt Tomorrow’s production plants must be efficient and adaptive, which is the key to survival in modern, highly competitive markets brought about by digitalization and automation. Future-oriented companies are increasingly focusing on a tight combination of automation and computer technology as promised by the Industry 4.0 paradigm. More and more globa... » read more

IIoT And Predictive Maintenance
By Jeff Dorsch - 30 May, 2018 - Comments: 1

It’s every production line manager’s nightmare—some machinery breaks down, stopping production on the factory floor. In a fab, if just one piece of semiconductor manufacturing equipment goes down and is out of service for hours, wafer fabrication can grind to a halt. Such shutdowns are expensive, especially if the plant is operating on a 24-hour schedule to meet demand. One selling poi... » read more

Why IIoT Security Is So Difficult
By Kevin Fogarty - 29 May, 2018 - Comments: 0

Despite the high risk of a market filled with billions of at least partially unprotected devices, it is likely to take five years or more to reach a "meaningful" level of security in the Industrial IoT. The market, which potentially includes every connected device with an integrated circuit, is fragmented into vertical industries, specialty chips, and filled with competing OEMs, carriers, in... » read more

Tech Talk: Analog Simplified
By Ed Sperling - 16 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

Benjamin Prautsch, Fraunhofer EAS' group manager for advanced mixed-signal automation, talks about how to simplify and speed up analog IP development, its role in IoT and IIoT/Industry 4.0, and why this is becoming so important for advanced packaging and advanced process nodes. https://youtu.be/6ISL1A7Wy_I » read more
