Bosch VHIT and Lynx Software Technologies announce a technology partnership
and feed information into the MES system , in order to generate an optimal decision in real time . When securely connected to the cloud , the system benefits from continued access to advanced Artificial Intelligence algorithms and data analytics packages .
Bosch VHIT ( Vacuum and oil pump products Italy ), the vacuum and oil pumps manufacturing subsidiary of Bosch , has announced that it has partnered with Lynx Software Technologies ( Lynx ), a leader in Mission Critical Edge , to test a new proof of concept camera-based quality program for use with real-time decision-making in industrial settings . The move is part of Bosch VHIT ’ s Digital Transformation of its processes and product development .
The program captures data from cameras on manufacturing plant floors and logistics warehouses and harnesses Machine Learning algorithms to identify quality issues
By partnering with Lynx , Bosch VHIT is able to close the digital feedback loop that is reliant on capturing quality images and analysing the data to provide a safe real-time action . The LYNX MOSA . ic for Industrial product enables the program to run multiple functions on a single SoC without compromising performance , security or safety .
“ As we continue advancing cuttingedge technology applications for factory automation , we are excited to partner with Lynx to accelerate a new , secure IIoT-based quality system for the market ,” said Riccardo Sesini , Digital Transformation Manager , Bosch VHIT .
Will rising summer temperatures disrupt indirect free cooling processes ?
The popularity of indirect free cooling of data centres in the Nordics region could place facilities at risk of corrosion if conditions are not correctly controlled this summer , according to temporary solutions specialists , Aggreko .
According to a recent market report by Arizton , the Nordic region can facilitate up to 8,400 hours of data centre free cooling annually due to its colder climate . Though incoming ambient air is filtered before entering the controlled data centre environment , this process can result in temperature rises of two to four degrees . When combined with rising summer temperatures , data centre sites may experience higher moisture levels that could lead to condensation forming and rising water temperatures .
Keeping key data centre components like electrical distribution systems dry and within a certain temperature band phase is crucial to ensuring its continued running . According to Aggreko , not taking steps to account for changing temperatures during the construction phase could lead to long-term damage that could impair functionality and void warranties .
“ The ability to use the climate as a resource to help free-cool facilities is one of many reasons the Nordics region appeals to organisations looking to construct data centres ,” said Greger Ruud , Sector Development Manager – Nordic Datacentres at Aggreko . “ However , it must be noted that like any other region , there are fluctuations in temperature depending on geography and the seasons , so conditions will occur that make free cooling more challenging .”
