Ansys has released its latest toolsuite, 2025 R2, which has many products with AI+, together with a virtual AI assistant and enhanced data management and workflow automation. The 2025 R2 suite includes the Engineering Copilot (pictured) in existing products (AnsysGPT, powered by Azure OpenAI, Ansys Mechanical, Discovery, Fluent, HFSS, Electronics Desktop (AEDT), Scade One, Speos, Maxwell, optiSLang and Lumerical). In ...
Harwin has added a through-hole retention option to its surface-mount ‘Kontrol’ industrial connector range, increasing it by 72 parts. “Industrial environments are evolving rapidly, with applications and modern equipment needing to tolerate higher levels of vibration and allow increased data throughput while being afforded less space,” according to the company. “Tests show through hole retention offers up to twice the ...
Toshiba has created a ~5A opto-isolated mosfet and IGBT gate driver in a six-pad SO6L package, half the size of an 8pin DIP package, and “meets the reinforced insulation class requirements of international standards”, it said. Called TLP5795H, it has an internal LED, photodiode and a rail-to-rail output driver typically capable of -4.5 and +5.3A with a 15 – 30V supply ...
Renesas is aiming at edge computing applications that need AI and up to two displays with its latest MCU. The top-end 64-bit RZ/G3E has a 1.8GHz quad-core Arm Cortex-A55, a 512Gop/s Ethos-U55 NPU for AI and a Cortex-M33. External memory is handled via a 32-bit LPDDR4/LPDDR4X bus with ECC. “This architecture runs AI applications such as image classification, object recognition, ...
A/V specialist, Crystal Display Systems (CDS), has added IP66-rated stainless steel monitors to its range of industrial displays. The six-sided IP66 sealed enclosure seals the monitor to offer “complete protection” from water jets, dust and debris, said the company. Housed in a stainless steel chassis, they are hygienic – the non-porous stainless steel prevents bacterial growth and withstands regular sanitation ...
Toshiba has picked its 4.9 x 6.1 x 1mm ‘SOP Advance(E)’ package for a pair of industrial n-channel mosfets: TPM1R908QM 80V 238A 1.68mΩ max TPM7R10CQ5 150V 120A 7.1mΩ max Maximum junction to case thermal resistance is 0.6°C/W (25°C) in each case. “The SOP Advance(E) package marks a substantial improvement over Toshiba’s existing ‘SOP Advance(N)’ package, reducing package resistance by approximately ...
Sensors are at the heart of industrial automation systems. Liam Critchley examines the different types used for particular parameters to ensure smooth operation Automation is crucial in industrial sectors. From manufacturing to food and beverage and power industries, automation is used to improve productivity, quality, efficiency and safety of the many processes in different industrial sectors. This includes monitoring production ...
AI-based anomaly detection helps engineers identify potential problems early, to improve process efficiency, says Rachel Johnson Industrial processes and manufacturing systems depend on consistency and accuracy. Unusual data readings, or anomalies, can signal issues like equipment malfunction, faulty components or deteriorating sensors that disrupt the expected operational flow. AI-based anomaly detection helps engineers identify these potential problems early, which enables ...
A new working group has been announced to establish cross-industry collaboration to improve the interoperability of product and environment simulation, models, and components using existing and new open standards. Accellera Systems Initiative announced the Federated Simulation Standard (FSS) working group (WG). The charter of the new working group is chaired by NXP’s Martin Barnasconi,with Qualcomm’s Mark Burton as vice chair. ...
The Design and Verification Conference & Exhibition Europe (DVCon Europe) has announced its keynote speakers. Ralph Schleifer, head of virtual ECUs and simulation at CARIAD will deliver ‘Driving Forward: The Evolution of Virtual Development in the Automotive Industry’, and Amanda Brock (pictured), CEO of OpenUK’s keynote is entitled: ‘We didn’t start the fire…open source software in 2025’. Mark Burton, general ...
