With billions of business assets left unmanaged, demand for more cost-effective connectivity systems is growing.

Cees Links —

To achieve a high level of market adoption, wireless sensor network applications must overcome the maintenance problem.

Max Maxfield —

Max explains how SNAP-based networks stack up against ZigBee.

Torsten Rössel —

New Industrial Ethernet networks provide decentralized security with effective protection devices arranged in a distributed architecture.

Don Dingee —

When people look at something like RFID and say it's only succeeding in niches, it's quite comical.

Gabi Daniely —

Organizations seeking to cost-effectively merge their asset location and status data into one platform can implement UAV to bring disparate visibility systems together in a unified wireless system.

Martin Payne —

Embedded RFID provides a simple, cost-effective solution to counterfeiting as well as the problems associated with unauthorized generics and substitutes.

Helge Hornis, PhD —

RFID can not only save time and money by eliminating manual barcode scans, but also enhance logistics operations and improve assembly parts planning for little additional cost.

Judson Vaughn —

RTLS can be deployed in unique ways over Wi-Fi networks, even those located in geographically dispersed areas, enabling location tracking applications on a campus, across the country, and even around the world.

Dan Viggiano III and Lisa Schaertl —

Today’s piezoelectric motors are robust, strong, light, and easy on power budgets.

Gary Sugita —

Ultra-low-power, flash-based FPGA technologies give designers the flexibility and agility they need to respond to changing market dynamics.

Wim De Kimpe —

Ultra-low-power wireless networks are now making it possible to create reliable and cost-effective sensor and control networks for a wide range of domestic and industrial uses.

Joel Shapiro —

As society's environmental and energy challenges become more acute, innovative engineers and scientists must step up to measure and fix the world around them.

Don Dingee, Editorial Director —

While many electronics companies want to label their products as green, it's a hard claim using my working definition.

Paul Wacker —

Today, manufacturing organizations world wide are working on reducing complexity in the manufacturing process and increasing the transparency of processes throughout the enterprise. The ability to communicate data from any part of the enterprise to any other part of the enterprise is core to making modern manufacturing work.

Mike Berryman —

So count‘em up! How many automation computers do you have? Did you overlook any?

Mike Berryman —

Automation computers can be anywhere, and do very many things. Modern automation computers are connected to networks that may be connected to other networks throughout the plant, and via TCP/IP to the entire world.

Don Dingee, Editorial Director —

At some point, meaningful debate comes down to choices you can count on the fingers of one hand.

Paul Leroux and Bill Graham —

Unlike general-purpose programming languages and tools, Flash provides a domain-specific environment for graphics and multimedia, offering almost endless possibilities for building user experiences.

Stephen Friedenthal —

If developers don’t have the time or expertise to write their own drivers, they should consider using the Kepware User-Configurable (U-CON) driver.

Paul Fischer —

Developers need a different approach to virtual machine management to support the latest I/O hardware enhancements and yield maximum performance in deterministic processing environments.

Greg Dixson —

A managed switch is a powerful tool that gives users control over an industrial network.

Kumara Ratnayake —

With today's generation of FPGAs, implementing hardware-based acceleration logic for a machine vision system that achieves the needed performance while retaining desired flexibility is a possibility.

Will Chen —

Flash will continue to change the way data is stored in all types of applications as prices continue to drop, densities increase, and reliability improves.
