The Internet of Things (IoT) is connecting smart devices and machines to create smart factories (known as Industry 4.0 or Industrial Internet). These highly automated, decentralized factories promise greater efficiency and flexibility across production processes. At the same time they are also exposed to attacks from cyberspace as they rely on Internet connectivity. Software measures alone do not generally...
Swissbit's Industrial SD and microSD Memory Cards series are designed for high sustained performance and endurance and are manufactured and tested in Swissbit's own fab to withstand extreme environmental conditions. Swissbit durabit™ and everbitTM products use architectural improvements such as page based FTL, increased overprovisioning to significantly decrease the Write Amplification Factor (WAF) for...
If everything in this increasingly digitalized world is supposed to get easier and faster, why should then the same not also apply to prototyping? Now that "smart" is taking our homes and work places by storm, IoT applications multiply as one speaks. And as a matter of fact more variety leads to more complexity. But no longer for development and evaluation environments. With Infineon's Shield2Go boards and...
Connectors are available as 2pin and 4pin options, or with other numbers of pins, as waterproof versions, with varied plating and various orientations, soldering technologies, fastenings, and assembly aids. This results in countless variants for a connector family, with suppliers unable to offer them all as standard. So when is a customized connector worthwhile?
A startup from Nuremberg wants to contribute to the smart city of the future by digitally transforming parking spaces. In contrast to other approaches that are either very expensive or time-consuming to install, Smart City System’s “Parking Pilot” is based on a small, yet robust, sensor that can be easily attached to parking areas.
