STMicroelectronics is extending the benefits of its motion-detection machine-learning core (MLC) technologies into industrial and high-end consumer applications with the latest ISM330DHCX and LSM6DSRX 6-axis iNEMO inertial measurement units (IMU).
LXT cameras with 3rd generation Sony Pregius CMOS sensors offer considerable performance improvements in terms of sensitivity, image quality, and frame rate.
The compact S-DIAS series has grown with the CPU module CP 313 and the compact control module EC 121, which provides even more application possibilities of the automation system.
WLAN and Bluetooth have limited bandwidth, making conventional wireless communication problematic in the production environment. Nevertheless, numerous components such as sensors and robots need to be wirelessly connected. To overcome this challenge, a team of researchers at Fraunhofer IOSB-INA in Lemgo is working on solutions with help from the Ostwestfalen-Lippe (OWL) University of Applied Sciences and Arts. Soon, it is hoped that machines in factory buildings will communicate with one another using light pulses. This technology is not new, but now it needs to be adapted for use in industry.
Datalogic, a global leader in the automatic data capture and process automation markets, will showcase the newest member of its family of industrial barcode readers, the AV500, on a live conveyor system at MODEX 2020 booth 5227.
