NSK and the German Aerospace Centre are developing a robotic hand system that will help automate manual tasks. The concept centres on a customisable robot hand comprising individually configurable finger modules, an industry first.

As part of a drive to get robots into more workplaces, operating side by side with humans, a team of expert development engineers at NSK has come up with a novel way to improve the mobility of cobots.

While individual homeowners might choose to install solar photovoltaic (PV) systems for when there’s load shedding or a power failure, for an entire estate to harness its energy requirements from solar, and particularly their crucial security systems, would require that a large area of the property be dedicated to solar panels.

Dependence on a reliable and stable source of electrical power is a part of everyday life, whether for an individual or a business.

SMART Security Solutions tested a 6 TB WD My Passport and found it is much more than simply another portable hard drive when considering the free security software the company includes with the device.

“Human machine interfaces (HMIs) in industrial environments are critical for operational oversight, but their web-based nature can make them a target for cyberthreats,” says Andre Froneman, OT solutions specialist at Datacentrix.

Technoswitch recently added the EN54-approved ESPRIT intelligent control panel range to its product portfolio to complement the existing TC5000 intelligent control panel range, aimed at small and medium sites that require a cost-effective, networkable fire alarm system.

As organisations seek cost-effective, sustainable, and high-quality solutions, home-grown facilities management innovation is proving to be a critical driver of operational efficiency and long-term success.

A report from Kaspersky indicates that artificial intelligence will become an integral part of daily life in 2025, while privacy concerns around biometric data and advanced technologies will take centre stage.
