Automotive, high-accuracy, humidity and temperature digital sensor with drift correction
Read more
The HDC3020-Q1 is an integrated capacitive based relative humidity (RH) and temperature sensor, which provides high accuracy measurements over a wide supply range (1.62 V – 5.5 V), along with ultra-low power consumption in a compact 2.5-mm × 2.5-mm package. Both the temperature and humidity sensors are 100% tested and trimmed on a production setup that is NIST traceable and verified with equipment that is calibrated to ISO/IEC 17025 standards.

The future of vision systems in manufacturing
Read more
With four times as many as colour receptors as humans, the Mantis shrimp has the most impressive eyes in nature. Manufacturers have long relied on human vision for complex picking and assembly processes, but 3D vision systems are beginning to replicate the capability of human vision in robotics. Here, Nigel Smith, Managing Director of TM Robotics, gives three rules to live by when choosing a 3D vision system for manufacturing.

Electrification will take mines beyond mining
Read more
Imagine mines with so much electricity production and storage that they do far more downstream processing. As reserves deplete, many will even transition to being zero-emission power stations and electricity storage for local communities and industry or even national grids. The cost of making-good becomes income from reinvention. That is the untold story of mining electrification, beyond the vital safety, greening, and cost reduction of electrics.
