A pair of engineering graduate students at Purdue has launched a startup that plans to use additive manufacturing to develop rocket engines faster and at a lower cost than so far has been possible.
In an attempt to make it easier for users to deploy the Internet of Things – both in industrial and consumer sectors – the Industrial Internet Consortium has developed a new version of its reference architecture. Version 1.8 is free and available to all.
Field Agents provide a rugged, pre-configured solution for secure data collection and machine connectivity to the cloud. These edge devices operate on the edge of the network to enable remote monitoring and diagnostics, utilizing encrypted channels to preserve data integrity and fidelity.
Former MythBuster Jamie Hyneman, perhaps unintentionally, laid out some truths of engineering that counter often presumed -- and incorrect -- statements on engineers and engineering.
Researchers successfully have developed artificial spider silk that for the first time resembles the real material and can be used viably in manufacturing textiles.
Last night’s ceremony also shined a light on Design News’ Lifetime Achievement Award winner, Cees Links; Rising Engineering Star Lindsay “Linz” Craig; and Gadget Freak of the Year David Prutchi, PhD.
The concept of the digital twin pushes product data through simulation and into the digitized factory. Field data then comes back to design in a full circle of continual improvement.
A hardware emulator provides enough power to keep the design for testability (DFT) verification schedule on track, increasing yields and ultimately boosting profits.
