Data security is gaining in importance as Industry 4.0 takes shape. Automation, cloud applications and globally networked machines and components play key roles when it comes to shielding systems from external threats. As digitalisation becomes more prevalent across industries, there is a growing need for companies to safeguard against cyber risks.

Maintec, the only exhibition dedicated to the UK’s maintenance, reliability and asset management industry, has announced details of its 2019 seminar programme. Taking place from 30-31st October 2019 at The NEC, Birmingham, the exhibition will host a packed-out professional seminar programme. All sessions will CPD accredited and approved by the Society of Operations Engineers who review each session prior to the event to ensure the highest level of educational quality.

Temperature-control processes, such as the cooling or heating applications used to process metals or plastics must function smoothly to guarantee quality products. Put simply, the flowmeters used in the circuits must also perform reliably.

Exact temperature control is a critical factor in many industrial metal and plastic processing sequences. In these scenarios, the requirements regarding temperature control can vary substantially depending on the production conditions.

Cutting-edge sensor technologies from leading suppliers is how Mouser Electronics describes its exhibit at the Sensors Expo and Conference 2019 in San Jose California (June 25-27). Mouser representatives will be at Booth 222 to discuss top technologies, new ideas, trends and emerging sensing solutions.

A team of second year students from Leeds Beckett University has won the grand Engineering for People Design Challenge prize, with their idea for a women’s community hub built of locally sourced natural and affordable materials. The annual competition is organised by Engineers Without Borders UK, a charity dedicated to inspiring the engineering community to serve all people and our planet better than ever before.

Collecting pitch, roll and yaw data on test articles with tight size or weight restrictions just got easier, according to DTS. The ultra-small ARS3 PRO delivers precision angular velocity measurements, even in excessive shock and vibration environments and will be on show at Sensor + Test 2019

Another finalist of the Subcon launchpad awards is ES Precision, a provider of laser processing services for marking, engraving and surface/thin material processing. This is the first year the launchpad awards will take place at the Subcon show and six engineering and manufacturing startups have made the final to try and impress and win a lump sum of money plus a stand at Subcon 2020.

Subcon is introducing the Launchpad and Launchpad Awards to this year’s event, this is to propel start-ups in the engineering and manufacturing industry by giving them a platform to share their innovations with thousands of engineering and manufacturing professionals with the power to influence and guide them to future success. With this is mind we spoke to one of the Launchpad finalists The Data Analysis Bureau (T-DAB), a data science and engineering agency specialising in machine learning.

SwimAR, another Launchpad finalist at the Subcon show taking place next week, is a sports technology business with the vision to transform swimming through wearable augmented reality goggles. By having a waterproof heads-up display, swimmers can see real-time, live data such as heart rate, time, laps, distance and average pace. We caught up with SwimAR ahead of the show and competition next week and found about a bit more about them and their journey.
