Overview
The top articles in October 2022
The top articles in October are outside the norm, showing the advantages of scalability, intelligent robots and the role of AI in control. In addition, the top article from September remains a perennial favorite. Read for yourself.
Top 10: Elon Musk demonstrates walking robot prototype
Tesla announced a new delivery record for electric cars. But if the company boss has his way, robots could become more important for Tesla than cars in the future. A prototype presented for the first time runs less reliably than its competitors - but should score points with its "brain".
Top 9: How does the intelligence get to the controls?
Although the control software is becoming an increasingly important part of the overall machine, functional tests as part of simulations and virtual commissioning still play a subordinate role in mechanical and plant engineering. This does not have to be the case.
Top 8: Stefan Grotzke expands management
The 53-year-old Stefan Grotzke has been appointed Managing Director of Turck Holding and the Werner Turck company.
Top 7: Functionally secure with x86 multicore
Power-hungry sensor technology in applications with functional safety (FuSi) means that embedded computing platforms must also increase their performance - multicore processors are therefore increasingly coming into focus.
Top 6: Does it always have to be MQTT?
When a company builds a platform for the collection, provision and storage of device data and the development of algorithms for machine learning, the question of a smart choice of architecture always arises. Some project examples.
Top 5: Robots for all areas of life
With the human-like robot 4NE-1, Neura Robotics is launching a "robot for everyone that supports people in all areas of life, learns through interaction and has cognitive abilities".
Top 4: The e-paper of issue 10/2022
Although the software determines the function of the process, it is still the hardware sold that ultimately binds customers to a product line. This is currently changing. Read how and why in the 10/2022 issue of Computer&Automation.
Top 3: Advantage of scalability
Edge and cloud computing play a central role in the Industrial IoT. But when should which technology be used? How can edge and cloud synergies be best utilized? Bernd Hantsche from Rutronik provides the answers.
Top 2: Curious standards from tea to clay
Tea is quickly made in everyday life. But not when it comes to ISO standard 3103. Here, the process is explained in great detail over six pages. You can read these and other strange guidelines here.
Top 1: Consistent opening
In September 2019, Bosch Rexroth announced ctrlX Automation for the first time: an open software architecture combined with a new hardware platform. Now comes a unique step for controller manufacturers: giving up hardware exclusivity.
