At the end of last year, we asked you - our readers - to vote for the best cover picture of the Computer&AUTOMATION print editions. Now the results are in. Find out which covers are among the top 10!

On June 27, 2017, the Mathworks community met in Munich for Matlab Expo 2017, where numerous applications related to model-based engineering were presented in addition to the latest innovations in Matlab and Simulink.

MathWorks introduces new features in HDL Verifier to accelerate verification through FPGA-in-the-loop (FIL). Thanks to the new FIL functions, faster communication with the FPGA board and simulation at a higher clock frequency should be possible.
Putting machines and systems into virtual operation before they are physically set up saves companies time and money. There are a number of aspects to consider during implementation: from modeling the machine model to displaying the results.
The data collected in production alone is not enough to make predictive maintenance a reality. The article describes all the necessary steps - from importing the data to integrating predictive models into existing IT systems.
The third generation of the Raspberry Pi is the latest development stage of the popular maker platform. However, the increase in computing power is limited - the Raspberry Pi's extensive hardware/software ecosystem is much more interesting.
