In today’s industrial landscape, seamless device communication is key. The Controller Area Network (CAN) Bus – a reliable protocol initially developed for vehicles – now enables quick, decentralised data transfer across sectors without central control.

Axiomtek, a global pioneer of research, development, and manufacture of innovative, highly efficient, and reliable industrial computer products, is excited to unveil the CEM710, a server-class COM Express Type 7 basic module powered by the Intel Xeon D-1700 processor (Ice Lake D) with up to 10 cores, integrated AI acceleration, and support for hard real-time workloads.

SolidRun, a developer and manufacturer of System on Module (SOM) solutions, Single Board Computers (SBC), and network edge devices, has launched the HummingBoard i.MX8M IIOT SBC. This robust and customisable board is designed to support the complex requirements of Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) and Human-Machine Interface (HMI) applications.

Kontron is using Intel N or Intel Core i3 N series processors and Intel Atom X7000 processors (code-named 'Alderlake N' or 'Amston Lake') in the new KBox A-151-AML/ADN, which offer particularly high processor and graphics capacity with low power dissipation and a strong price/performance ratio. 

Omron Electronic Components Europe has launched a new high power PCB relay which requires up to 51% less mounting space compared to similar 480VAC 55A relays.

Mahdi Yahya, CEO and Founder of Ori, a UK provider of GPUs for AI compute, argues that the UK has all the ingredients necessary to build its own sovereign Cloud computing infrastructure – but it’s being held back by a lack of imagination from senior tech players. 

Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider, ESCATEC, has successfully integrated a UV light feature to its die bonder, significantly enhancing the precision and efficiency of the micro-assembly processes.

A breakthrough in 3D-printing concrete by researchers at the University of Virginia has been achieved. The team have developed a sustainable and printable cementitious composite that combines graphene with limestone and calcined clay cement (LC2), enhancing both strength and durability while decreasing carbon emissions.

The MPronto-12 series of M12 connectors from Amphenol LTW brings innovative and versatile connectivity solutions for a range of industrial and transportation applications.

Industrial sensors play a crucial role within industrial settings, converting physical parameters into signals that can be used for a wide range of applications. So, how can the designer make sure that the right industrial sensor is chosen for a product?
