In today’s industrial environments Sensors play a crucial role in automation and manufacturing by providing real-time data for systems to operate and make decisions autonomously. In the realm of automation, sensors are the eyes and ears of the system. They gather information from the environment, which is then processed and used to control various operations. Read article

The open networking datacenter NOS (network operating system) environment has seen a huge amount of consolidation over the last 5 years. This is down to the emergence of an open-source NOS, graciously gifted to the world by non-other than Microsoft. Linus Torvalds, the creator, and lead developer of the Linux kernel, famously said, “Microsoft isn’t evil, they just make really crappy operating systems.” Thankfully, in this case, he was referring to Windows and not the white box operating system that is taking over the data center ecosystem. Torvalds’s own Linux Foundation are now the gatekeepers of community SONiC so it's safe to say he approves this time! Read article

Warehouse robotics has seen significant advancements in recent years, driven by the need for increased efficiency and accuracy in logistics and supply chain management. One of the technologies enabling these advancements are Optical Tracking Sensors (OTS) also knows as optical flow sensors, which provide precise surface tracking capabilities, and are important for the effective operation of warehouse robots. By capturing accurate dual-axis (X/Y) motion data, optical tracking sensors enable robots to navigate complex environments, avoid obstacles, and perform tasks with high precision. Read article

In the rapidly evolving landscape of data centers, power efficiency has become a critical focus. As data centers expand to meet the growing demands of cloud computing, AI, and big data, their energy consumption has surged, leading to increased operational costs and environmental impact. The push for greener, more sustainable data centers is not just a trend but a necessity. Coherent, a leader in optical technologies, is at the forefront of this movement, offering innovative solutions that significantly reduce power consumption while maintaining high performance

From its launch in 2009, the Juniper MX204 revolutionized network building across various industries. This SDN-enabled Universal Routing Platform empowered enterprises, mid-sized businesses, and service providers to expand their metro Ethernet networks.

The benefits of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning have been widely discussed by theologians in every drinking establishment around the world since ChatGPT burst onto the scene in late 2022. Whether you think it’s a divine gift from God, or the spawn of Satan, it’s here to stay and will increasingly impact on our lives.
