The purpose of decarbonization for the manufacturing industry since 2021 onward has changed from social contribution to achieving profits by observing conditions in transactions with customers and enhancing cost competitiveness.
Electronic shelf labels (ESL) are connected, low-power ‘e-paper’ display devices that can replace traditional paper labels and can display text, numbers, icons, lines, barcodes and pictures. They enable retailers to automatically update individual shelf price labels from a central point across multiple stores and branches—or in certain geographic locations—at the touch of a button.
Barcodes play a key role across industries for tasks like inventory management, asset tracking, and quality control, where traceability is required. OMRONs VHV5-F enables accurate barcode reading on every surface, from curved metals to glossy packaging, even in the harshest environments.
Understanding the signal names, numbering schemes, electrical limits and software control of the Raspberry Pi 5 general purpose input/output (GPIO) header empowers hardware and digital design engineers to build robust embedded solutions.
The Raspberry Pi Zero 2W features a quadcore 64 bit processor and builtin wireless in a tiny footprint. Its 40 pin header provides engineers with a flexible interface for embedded applications. This guide explores the theory behind the pinout and offers practical guidance for learners.
This latest revolution has introduced wirelessly-connected and -guided machinery, drones, sensors, AI and machine learning (ML), robotics, biotechnology and IoT-connected farms.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of IoT, battery life is paramount for device sustainability. We dissect the challenges and strategies for battery longevity of LPWAN IoT devices. Explore battery profiling and optimization for extended device life and reduced costs.
Knowing the distance between two short-range transceivers is useful for many applications. Examples include proximity measurement for making sure people maintain a set distance apart for safety reasons, indoor navigation, and tracking items in a warehouse.
Smart lighting company Signify reports that replacing conventional street lighting with energy-efficient LEDs is an effective way to reduce energy consumption and associated emissions.
Despite an enormous effort and a significant reduction in fatality rates, mining remains one of the most hazardous industries for workers. However, new technologies are starting a safety revolution, while simultaneously fueling the mining industry’s digital transformation.
A positive shift is taking place towards more advanced and specific digital healthcare for women. The so-called ‘femtech’ (female technology) industry has belatedly begun to deliver on the promise of solutions using wireless connectivity to help address women’s health issues.
In this episode, we explore the dynamic landscape of retail transformation in the digital age. Learn how the integration of cutting-edge technology is reshaping shopping experiences and customer engagement. From real-time supply monitoring to digital shelves enabling dynamic pricing based on demand, discover how retailers adapt to changing consumer behaviors and preferences.
Sensor and actuator networks are systems that collect and transmit data from a physical environment for digital processing. Data is collected at sensors and actuators in the field, then digitized at the sensor or actuator. The digitized data can be used for a variety of applications, and the method for data processing depends on the application
