Electrical grid data cloaked in the cloud
A framework is being developed at the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory that cloaks sensitive data, which allows grid operators to securely perform complex calculations in the cloud.
Embedded vision systems improve virtual reality
Embedded vision systems are being used to track human eye movements and determining, which is improving virtual reality (VR) applications.
Data visualization, monitoring remotely
Improving data visualization and implementing cloud-based remote access is also the first step to implementing the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industrie 4.0 applications for said data visualization.
Plug and model simulation tools for automation software development suites
Simulation, modeling, and virtual commissioning are becoming easier to apply on different levels in automation. Interfaces to third-party simulation tools may be built into your software development suite already.
Working with the cloud
Using the cloud for data logging and remote access can improve operations, cut costs and simplify interactions.
Machine vision users adopting cloud computing
Many companies are turning to cloud computing to handle the large data flows coming from their machine vision systems.
