  Free update makes third deep learning method available for IDS NXT  Update for the AI system IDS NXT: cameras can now also detect anomalies  In quality assurance, it is often necessary to reliably detect deviations from the norm. Industrial cameras have a key role in this, capturing images of products and analyzing them for defects. If the error cases are not known in advance or are too diverse, however, rule-based image processing reaches its limits. By contrast, this challenge can be reliably solved with the AI method Anomaly Detection. The new, free IDS NXT 3.0 software update from IDS...

  Plant Documentation 4.0 – an essential enabler for Industry 4.0  Specialist articles on Industry 4.0 generally emphasize the aspect of technical feasibility of the consistent, intelligent networking of machines, processes and personnel: What gateways, protocols and platforms will be needed to interlink machines from different manufacturers? What legal requirements have to be observed? How can security be designed to avoid hacker attacks? However, one aspect that is often overlooked is this: Digitalized plants and processes can only be reliably administered if documentation is available that reflects the current status of the production plants. In many places reality is still...

Embedded world 2023: Rohde & Schwarz showcases its state-of-the-art test solutions for embedded systems   Embedded systems are at the core of today’s electronic devices, whether in consumer electronics, telecommunications, industrial, medical, automotive or aerospace applications. Flawless operation is crucial, and engineers face complex challenges when designing ever more compact embedded systems which meet today’s demands of efficiency, safety, reliability and interoperability. Rohde & Schwarz addresses these challenges with its wide-ranging test and measurement solutions showcased at the embedded world Exhibition & Conference 2023 in Nuremberg.  Caption: The R&S MXO 4 is one of many Rohde & Schwarz test and...

A Truly Sustainable Future for Air Filtration   The technology behind Air Cleaning BlowersTM (ACBs) constitutes a fundamental disruption in the air and gas filtering industry. With this technology available, there are thousands of applications where it no longer makes sense to capture debris that nobody wants. Our units do not require filter elements that can clog or need maintenance over time. As a result, they eliminate the need for buying, shipping, storing, cleaning, changing, and disposing of filter media.   For centuries people have cleaned the air by trapping the unwanted particles in something, from simple cloths or screens...

Towards 6G: Rohde & Schwarz showcases AI/ML-based neural receiver with NVIDIA at MWC Barcelona  With research on the technology components for the future 6G wireless communication standard in full swing, the possibilities of an AI-native air interface for 6G also are being explored. Rohde & Schwarz, working with NVIDIA, is taking a step forward from simulations to implementing artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) in future 6G technology. At MWC Barcelona, the companies will present the industry’s first hardware-in-the-loop demonstration of a neural receiver, showing the achievable performance gains when using trained ML models compared to traditional signal processing.  At...
