Deciphering Industry 4.0 Part III – Smart Logistics and Mass Customization
The future of making things will depend as much on smart logistics – supply and delivery – as on the smart technology in the factory. Factory technology has been developed to save companies money and resources, enable more flexible manufacturing, increase speed and offer product variation. But there seems little point in making products more intelligently to save money if the delivery process is flawed, losing money down the value chain…

The Voltage rises
The idea of a higher vehicle electrical system voltage in automobiles is not new. As early as the 1990s, a 42V consortium was set up for fear that the 12 V vehicle electrical system would fall to its knees, due to of the ever-increasing number of electrical consumers. However, due to a lack of standards, this approach was not successful. But now everything is to change.


Safety in medical electrical equipment starts with the power input
Power connectors and power entry modules built to IEC standards for medical applications
Electrical equipment used in medical technology must not place patients or medical staff in danger. This, in turn, requires that designing safe equipment starts at the point where the power is supplied…
