How photochemical etching is transforming the world of electric vehicle design

How photochemical etching is transforming the world of electric vehicle design

We have turned a corner in the world of automotive manufacturing. Design engineers are now shifting their attention to new technologies to ensure they aren’t left in the dust by disruptive start-ups. Karl Hollis, Director of Engineering at Precision Micro, discusses how photochemical etching can enable manufacturers to produce specialist EV components more cost-effectively, without compromising on precision.

Machinery cybersecurity: Optimising resilience

Machinery cybersecurity: Optimising resilience

As cyber-physical systems are deployed, new vulnerabilities may emerge and a cyberattack can put an entire industrial facility at risk. Vulnerabilities include a lack of knowledge about how to apply IT security protection to machinery that has not traditionally required it, as well as systems running legacy communication networks with which today’s cybersecurity software is incompatible.
