HiL Test Systems: Detecting Failure Earlier in the Development Process
All Content, Automotive, Research, Smart Manufacturing
The faster your fabricated components can be tested to ensure they operate appropriately, the faster you can proceed to production. Time saved on development not only saves your company money, but it also accelerates your product development pipeline, allowing your business to take on more designs. Hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) test systems allow you to automate many testing tasks and perform them faster with simulated testing and precise test bed control.
Smart Grid Testbeds: A More Resilient Power Grid
Global commitments to combat climate change differ, but there’s one point where nations are in agreement: we need a smarter energy grid. As new energy generation paradigms take hold in many countries, the energy grid must move towards a smart grid. Smart grids can be controlled by software and provide much more data to enable that control. In order to take advantage of this growing market, you need the best smart grid testbed system.
The Future of Hydrogen Energy
Hydrogen energy is produced by electrolyzing water using electricity, ideally generated from renewable sources such as solar or wind power. In the future, renewable hydrogen is expected to play a vital role in decarbonizing various sectors, including transportation, industry, and power generation. Businesses that proactively explore renewable hydrogen now can position themselves ahead of the curve by researching its potential to reduce carbon emissions.
Massive MIMO: The Future of Wireless Communication
The demand for more powerful, more efficient wireless communication systems is growing exponentially. Innovations in technology are paving the way for the next generation of wireless networking, and a key player in this evolution is Massive Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO). Leveraging Massive MIMO and 5G technologies, we can dramatically improve wireless communication capabilities, bolstering manufacturing processes and business performance.
Noise and Vibration Analysis for Improved Product Quality
Modern industrial businesses must continue to improve product quality in order to remain competitive. Regardless of your industry or what you manufacture, consider implementing smarter vibration measurement strategies. Noise, vibration and harshness, also known as NVH, have strong correlations with product quality, both from a manufacturing perspective and from that of the end user. Learn how to better control vibration with better measurement methods and analysis.
Reducing Excess Power Consumption With New Technologies
With energy costs rising worldwide, reducing power consumption is one of the easiest ways to lower your operating costs and boost your profit margins. The days of cheap power are likely behind us, meaning that companies must focus on implementing new energy generation methods while also slashing electricity consumption. For many businesses, energy use has been an afterthought. Fortunately, new technologies are making it easier to lower your electric bill without sacrificing productivity.
