Sophisticated power analyser helps drone maker accelerate motor system testing

The Yokogawa WT1800E Power Analyser is being used by Atmos UAV to optimise the range, efficiency and safety of Marlyn, the world’s first drone to combine Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) and forward flight in a fully autonomous way.

The General Product Safety Directive – The world’s best kept secret?

The General Product Safety Directive 2001/95/EC (GPSD) covers the safety of any products that do not fall under other European Union (EU) Directives. However, it is rarely recognised or understood by those within the supply chain, even though failure to comply may result in fines and/or imprisonment.

Equipping the workforce for Industry 4.0

Manufacturing is being digitised and the manufacturing process is changing dramatically. This is a phenomenon known as Industry 4.0 (the fourth industrial revolution) and its benefits are immense. These include enabling the automation and streamlining of repetitive steps in manufacturing processes, resulting in enormous increases in efficiency.

Measuring chains – Delivering precise and accurate data

The expanding use of automation in all sectors of industry is placing greater demands on test and measurement (T&M). From the sensors used to monitor parameters in real time to data communication and processing, the whole system must reliably deliver information that is precise and accurate, often when ambient conditions are far from ideal.
