Why is the maxon Group developing programmable master controllers?

maxon has been developing and producing drive components and mechatronic systems for decades. However, the system business is becoming increasingly important and more complex. Programmable MACS controllers are thus an essential component for these system solutions. The master controller (MACS) can be used in a variety of ways. Practical examples include autonomous repetitive processing of travel profiles, as well as…

Sensors of the same type don’t necessarily measure the same “things”

When evaluating different motion sensors, consider the number of axes your device needs to measure for your application. Then, consider the possibilities that could be unlocked by measuring additional–or different–axes. Choosing the right sensor capability early in your development process will lead to the best cost/performance fit, quick time to market and low development and product costs.

Drive systems for sample distribution

When it comes to performing a very large number of standardized tests, such as in the case of a mass test for COVID-19, there is no avoiding largescale, automated laboratories. The advantages of automation are obvious: it enables more reliable results with a much higher throughput. One important aspect for a successful laboratory automation is the transport of samples from…

A more accessible city? Get insights from mobility data with Multimodal Analytics

Municipalities and provinces generate a lot of data with their infrastructure. This data can be used to make and test policy, and make adjustments if necessary. But how do you convert this raw data into management information? To channel this complexity, InTraffic developed the Multimodal Analytics (M2A) approach. M2A is a mobility analytics platform with an associated design thinking approach…
