This year's AMA Innovation Award from the AMA Association for Sensors and Measurement (AMA) honors the development team around Stanislav Aksarin. The prize was awarded at Sensor+Test 2024 in Nuremberg.
Whether conveyor belt, industrial robot, hydraulic unit, motor or pump - the failure of individual components can bring the entire system to a standstill. This makes condition monitoring all the more important - for example using a condition monitoring sensor.
What to do with vision applications that are too complex for rule-based image processing on the one hand, but too simple to justify investing in a full deep learning solution on the other? One option is machine learning 'at the edge'.
Mechanical weed control in the crop row by humans is laborious - and mechanical alternatives have so far been slow. The use of pesticides against weeds is also not a sustainable alternative. Modern agricultural machinery is proving to be helpful.
With a 3D sensor from the 'XCS' series, AT - Automation Technology is launching a product on the market that is particularly suitable for high-performance applications in the electronics industry - with an optimized laser and a field of view of up to 53 mm.
IDS Imaging Development Systems
IDS is launching a new 'IDS NXT malibu' camera on the market. It enables AI-based image processing, video compression and streaming in 4K sensor resolution at 30 fps - directly in and out of the camera.
The confocal chromatic sensor 'IFS2407-1.5' expands Micro-Epsilon's 'confocalDT' sensor portfolio and is used for high-precision displacement and thickness measurement. The sensor has a measuring range of 1.5 mm with a base distance of 17 mm.
The force sensors of the 'KT705' and 'KT805' series from Megatron have been equipped with analog electronics. This means that the force transducers also provide a negative output voltage or indicate when they are actuated in the opposite direction to the intended force.
Delta will be presenting intelligent energy infrastructure solutions for utilities, trade and industry at "The Smarter E Europe 2024" trade fair.
Right brain AI, an AI that mimics the creative abilities of the right side of the human brain, is currently experiencing a rapid rise. At the same time, this opens the door for the use of the more analytical "left brain AI". This is shown in a recent study by Pegasystems.
Mitsubishi Electric has updated the 'FX5-ENET' Ethernet module to provide Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) functionality in installations using 'Melsec iQ-F' series PLCs.
Polytec has the 'ODiSI 7000' system family in its range for the fiber optic-based measurement of temperature and strain profiles.
Hexagon has developed the high-performance strip light scanner 'SmartScan VR800'. It is based on a completely revised platform.
