Brand new IPC and accessories

Industrial machines and systems are becoming increasingly complex. The developing Industry 4.0 requires more and more software. This increases the demands on the Hardware such as the industrial computer or IPC. In the first section you will find IPC innovations for special industries and then the innovations for mechanical and plant engineering.

IPC for special industries

  • Flexible printed circuit boards made from thin polyimide films have established themselves in many product areas. But they are expensive to equip and assemble, even if they offer many advantages. That is why Harting relies on 3D MID technology, which can save up to two thirds of the costs. In a POS terminal, it offers the highest level of physical protection against cyber attacks.  
  • With the augmented reality application Augmented Things, the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) in Kaiserslautern has breathed new life into a Pfaff sewing machine that is over 100 years old. So if you no longer know how to operate the good old sewing machine, you can get information on how to use it via smartphone or tablet.  
  • The development time for self-driving cars should be reduced to hours instead of weeks. To achieve this, Continental and Nvidia are building a high-performance computer cluster based on the DGX AI system. Virtual data generation, artificial intelligence and the simulation of autonomous vehicles are the future core tasks of the most powerful supercomputer in the automotive industry.  
  • With quantum computers, the limits of computing efficiency can be greatly expanded. You will solve problems that computers are still unable to cope with today. However, they could also be misused to make the current public key encryption methods insecure. Rohde + Schwarz Cybersecurity is therefore researching how to defend against such threats.
