How much artificial intelligence is integrated in machines nowadays?

Since ChatGPT, artificial intelligence has been unmissable from the media. But what does it actually look like in the industry? To what extent is it already being applied there to make smarter machines? Here, Dr Johannes Kühn, Head of Control Engineering, Motion Control and Robotics at Lenze, explains where we are today.

Boosting satellite life using barrier valves

Boosting satellite life using barrier valves

Propellant supply plays a significant role in a satellite’s operational life. Optimising satellite design for longevity is a critical step before any mission. A high-performing solenoid valve can help conserve charged pressure and extend the life of a satellite, by creating an active barrier between the tank and the rest of the feed system.

Why we must invest in processing to meet recycling goals

Why we must invest in processing to meet recycling goals

The European Commission (EC) has ruled that EU states must reduce packaging waste by five percent by 2030. These rules cover both packaging design and waste management. Most waste management schemes rely on mechanical recycling – a method that Greenpeace argues “will always fail” for plastics because they are “virtually impossible to sort”.
