Wireless communication is a cornerstone of modern technology, revolutionizing how we interact with the world and each other. At its core, wireless technology enables the transmission of information over distances without the need for physical connections like wires or cables. This concept has dramatically transformed communication, fueling the rapid growth of the Internet, media streaming, and much more.

Recent advancements in sensor hardware and algorithms are transforming industrial and consumer applications, particularly in automated systems, robotics, and digitalization. These technologies enable miniaturization, ruggedization, and enhanced connectivity, and there's a trend towards integrated sensing solutions that reduce design complexity and costs. In this magazine, we explore 10 specific sensor technologies that enhance scalability, design performance, and smart engineering functions for evolving needs.

The role of robotics in manufacturing has evolved over the past 70 years. From welding to collaborative robots, their presence on the factory floor has become commonplace.

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) have become indispensable in the world of industrial automation and control systems. Their versatility allows for complex operations to be managed with precision and reliability.

As power conversion applications continue to evolve, so do the conversion technologies themselves. Having higher efficiency power conversion can not only increase reliability, it can actually help to future proof your design.

Rising demand and cost of goods continue to put pressure on manufacturers. To meet consumer demands, they need to think differently.

"The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a transformative and revolutionary concept, reshaping the way we interact with technology and the world around us."

An introduction to selecting capacitors, also known as caps or condensers, which are electronic components that store energy in an accumulated electric field between two parallel, conductive plates separated by an insulator. Capacitors oppose changes in voltage potential in a circuit.

An introduction to selecting fixed-value resistors which are passive electronic components that limit or resist current flow in a circuit. Resistors drop proportional voltage across its terminals and produce heat in response to current flow through the device.

RISC-V is a simplified, open-source hardware instruction set designed for high speed and low-power processor applications. With the RISC-V architecture, developers have easier access to RISC-V based processors in designing embedded applications and high-powered computers.

An introduction to selecting fixed Inductors, also known as coils or chokes, which are electronic components that store energy in a magnetic field and oppose any change in the current that passes through them.

Need inspiration for the ideation stage of a project? The innovation handbook contains a treasure trove of information and details on a wide variety of topics and devices to help in the decision-making process. Whether a student, teacher, maker, or engineer, keep this reference handy to explore all the aspects of project development and general electronics knowledge.

Manufacturing has the potential to be one of the most dangerous places on Earth. Without proper mitigation through safeguards and strict adherence to safety regulations workers in this environment face serious bodily harm or worse.
