Experts have suggested that Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) will be one of the technological cornerstones that help to shape the success of the IIoT. The factory of the future will require high data streams and the industrial sector needs connectivity solutions which adapt themselves to increasingly growing demands.
It is generally recognised that, by the end of this year, more than 20 billion devices will be connected to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and it will be a market worth $200 billion by 2021.
Richard Thompson, Commercial Director of aluminium matrix manufacturer, Alvant, discusses how a new breed of materials could unlock significant improvements in power density and transient response for electric and hybrid vehicles.
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are a reliable and cost-effective power source, helping to revolutionise technology development.
Global concern for the environment continues to drive developments in green technology. This is particularly notable in the increase in demand for electrical vehicles. As the uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) has increased, the EV battery industry has needed to grow in tandem.
