Auf der Hannover Messe 2023 drehte sich vieles um ein Thema: die Initiative Manufacturing-X, in der Wirtschaft, Politik und Wissenschaft gemeinsam die technischen, wirtschaftlichen und rechtlichen Grundlagen schaffen wollen, dass Unternehmen Daten über die gesamte Wertschöpfungskette sicher und souverän gemeinsam nutzen können. Laut einer Einschätzung der Europäischen Kommission bleiben 80% der in der Industrie erhobenen Daten heute noch ungenutzt. Mit Manufacturing-X soll das damit verbundene Wertschöpfungspotenzial endlich realisiert werden. Klingt nach Zukunftsmusik? Der Bayerische Manufacturing-X Kongress am 06.02.2024 im Congress Centrum Würzburg macht konkrete Anwendungsfälle und zugrundeliegende Technologien von Manufacturing-X greifbar und so eine datenbasierte Wertschöpfung erlebbar. Neben einer spannenden Fachausstellung mit ARENA2036, Armin Lausterer - Ingenieurbüro für Prozessoptimierung GmbH, Bitkom, conplement AG, Fraunhofer IPA, Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research ISC, Industrial Digital Twin Association (IDTA), LNI 4.0 (Labs Network Industrie 4.0 e.V.), Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Augsburg, Open Industry 4.0 Alliance, PCB Arts GmbH, SmartFactory-KL, Transfer-X, VDMA und Weiteren freuen wir uns auf spannende Beiträge von Belizer Pakic (PAKIC GmbH), Dirk Vielsaecker (Siemens), Anja Misselbeck (Catena-X), Dominik Rohrmus (LNI 4.0 (Labs Network Industrie 4.0 e.V.)), Dr. Martin Körner (A Berger), Sebastian Schneider (DECKEL MAHO Pfronten GmbH), Markus Weber (GMN Paul Müller Industrie GmbH & Co.

💡 Working on electronics projects with optical fibers is truly exhilarating. The blue light you can see, that's a diameter of 50 micrometers (that's half the width of a human hair). It's all about routing 10Gbit Interfaces, a process that triggers a Laser Diode. Subsequently, this signal embarks on a journey that could span up to an impressive 550 meters (Multi Mode) or 200 kilometers (Single Mode). There are also multiple benefits for optical fiber: ⚙ High Bandwidth - up to 400Gb/s: Optical fiber boasts a significantly higher bandwidth compared to copper cables, ensuring the swift transmission of large volumes of data. This attribute is critical in our data-centric world where speed and efficiency are paramount. ⚡ Low Latency - with 2/3 speed of light: The low latency of optical fiber facilitates rapid data transmission, making it ideal for applications demanding real-time communication, such as online gaming, video conferencing, and financial transactions. 🔌 Immunity to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI): Unlike copper cables, optical fiber is impervious to electromagnetic interference. This makes it a reliable choice in environments where EMI could disrupt signal quality, such as industrial settings or areas with high electrical interference. #ElectronicsInnovation #OpticalFiber #TechAdvancements #ConnectivitySolutions #DigitalTransformation #NetworkingTechnology #TechLeadership #InnovationInElectronics #FiberOptics #SingleMode #MultiMode #DataTransmission

📷 Let's dive into the magic of CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) technology—the powerhouse behind the pixels in our cameras! This is the Sony IMX296 - Image sensor, which is included in the Raspberry Pi Global shutter camera. The sensor itself has a resolution of 1440 x 1080 pixel at 60,4 frames per second, this data will be send via MIPI CSI-2 (1 Lane) to the Image Signaling Processor (ISP) of an embedded device, like a NVIDIA Jetson. The process behind capturing a single image or a sequence of images (video) looks like this: 🔷 Photodetection Mechanism: Each pixel in a CMOS sensor integrates a photodetector, usually a photodiode, responsive to incident light. The photodiode generates electron-hole pairs in the semiconductor material upon exposure. 🔶 In-Pixel Amplification: Distinctive to CMOS, every pixel incorporates an amplifier. This in-pixel amplification enhances the signal strength locally, contributing to overall sensor efficiency. After this, the signal is converted into a digital signal within the ADC (Analog to Digital Converter). 📸 Parallel Processing Architecture: CMOS sensors leverage a parallel processing approach. Pixels operate independently, allowing simultaneous and swift readout, a notable advantage in dynamic imaging scenarios. This is how rolling shutter or global shutter could be implemented into CMOS. Afterwards this data of the pixels will be streamed over CSI-2. Understanding the intricacies of CMOS technology provides valuable insights into its role as a versatile and integral component in contemporary imaging devices. #CMOSTechnology #ImageSensors #Photodetection #SignalAmplification #ParallelProcessing #ControlElectronics #Semiconductor 📷🔍
