IBM, STMicroelectronics and Shaspa today announced a collaboration to tap cloud and mobile computing for manufacturers and service providers to provide innovative ways for consumers to manage and interact with their homes’ functions and entertainment systems using multiple user interfaces such as voice recognition and physical gestures for a smarter home.
The SF52 dew-point transmitter from Michell Instruments provides a heavy-duty and cost-effective solution to monitor moisture content in industrial dryers. The instrument is easy to install and has an exceptionally low cost of ownership with no maintenance required during its lifetime use of typically five to seven years. Its robustness really gives a ‘fit and forget’ solution with benefits that make this a smart and appealing choice for use in industrial dryers.
The Siemens Building Technologies Division has added KNX-compliant flush-mount models to its Symaro sensor line. In addition to capturing the temperature, humidity and air quality, these new communications-enabled sensors can also control these parameters as well as switch lights on and off and control sun protection systems. The devices support a wide variety of configuration options and can be customized to each specific application.
The organisers of AQE 2013, the Air Quality and Emissions show (formerly ‘MCERTS’), have announced a comprehensive conference programmefor the event which will take place in Telford, UK, on 13thand 14thMarch.
A new NASA-funded prototype system developed by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) of Boulder, Colo., now is providing weather forecasts that can help flights avoid major storms as they travel over remote ocean regions. The eight-hour forecasts of potentially dangerous atmospheric conditions are designed for pilots, air traffic controllers and others involved in transoceanic flights.
Temperature@lert, an innovator in environmental monitoring, has introduced smart sensor adapter boards for 4-20mA and 0-2VDC. The new adapter boards for 4-20mA and 0-2VDC integrate with Astec Heracell incubators for carbon dioxide and oxygen monitoring. Temperature@lert has previously released an adapter board for dry contact that uses similar technology, which can also be found in their industrial smart sensors line.
Water monitoring specialist Xylem Analytics UK is pleased to announce the appointment of David Goldsmith as Director of Marine and Coastal Business.
FedEx Express (FedEx), a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. today announced the launch of its SenseAwareSM service in two countries in Asia Pacific. FedEx customers in Australia and Singapore can now better control their supply chain and stay connected to their most critical and time-sensitive shipments in near real-time following the launch of SenseAware 2000, the next-generation information service powered by FedEx.
Rather than installing stations on fixed towers, why not use mobile sensors spread out over the whole city to get better air quality measurements? OpenSense, a project run by four laboratories at EPFL and one at ETH Zurich, is studying the possibility of installing sensors on the roofs of buses and trams, thus taking advantage of already existing public transport and mobile phone networks. Testing is currently underway in Lausanne.
Tradeshows are a very good source of information for professionals working in environmental monitoring. But as schedules become more hectic, finding the time to attend can be difficult. That’s why Xylem Analytics are launching the Xylem Worldwide Virtual Water Show.
