  Maintenance and Condition Monitoring Maintenance has for a long time been carried out based on a predetermined interval mostly following a predetermined criterion. Condition monitoring has also been based on periodic inspections. The emergence of smart factories is rapidly changing maintenance and condition monitoring practices. Smart factories embrace predictive maintenance that enables users to accurately anticipate when machine maintenance will be due. Predictive maintenance and  conditioning monitoring  enable manufacturers to improve productivity while reducing the time wasted and costs incurred. Predictive Maintenance & Condition Monitoring Condition Monitoring This involves monitoring of parameters like the equipment vibration and temperature. This will help in identifying potential issues like misalignments or bearing failures.  Condition monitoring  is critical in mapping equipment degradation. Vibration analysis captures the change in the harmonic frequency of rotating

  5G Network Can you imagine a cellular technology capable of delivering up to 100 times faster data rates compared to the current 4G network? Well, that is 5G for you. 5G is promising to deliver speeds in the order of Gb/s which is much greater than 4G is capable of. The idea of  5G  Wireless Technology  first came into the picture in 2008 when NASA partnered with Geoff Brown and M2Mi Corp to come up with 5G. It was not until 2019 when 5G was 5G was ready for deployment. 5G may be at its early stages of definition but it is certainly receiving a lot of visibility. Vision for 5G Like any new mobile network advancement, the advancement from 4G to 5G is envisioned to bring with it a lot of positive changes. 5G is envisioned to deliver dramatic performance improvements in data rates, network capacity, latency, mobile connections, cost, and coverage. Greater network capacity The demand for wireless network connectivity for both IoT and mobile devices has been growing tremendously in the pa

  Power supply design Power supply design  is an otherwise very demanding exercise. The design engineer is first required to define the power supply’s specifications. He will then be required to decide the topology. One the topology is complete; the engineer would then have to look for an appropriate IC that will meet the specifications. The engineer would also be required to calculate the power components that will work in tandem with the IC and then search and purchase them. He would then proceed to draft and enact a schematic. This is not only time consuming but also exhausting. The resulting product may not also be efficient. All that in 5 minutes There are tools that have been designed to take away all that hassle. There are four key requirements that are critical in the design of power supply, voltage input, current input, voltage output, and current output. Once you have those marked out; these tools can take you from specifications to the final schematic diagram really quickly.
