IoT Trends in Manufacturing: From Smart to Virtual
From the early 1900s to the 2000s, the manufacturing industry underwent significant innovation, beginning with lean manufacturing that introduced efficient assembly line production and specialized machinery tailored for specific tasks. Moving into the 2000s, the focus shifted towards the “smart factory,” integrating connected devices and automation to enhance equipment effectiveness and employing predictive maintenance to […]

3 languages changing data science
Julia The Julia language, first released in 2012, was created specifically for data scientists. Its creators wanted to have a language as easy to work with as Python, but as fast as C or Fortran, and without having to work in more than one language at a time for the best results. Julia works its […]

Microsoft .NET 9 previews C#, runtime, SDK improvements
For the .NET runtime, Microsoft introduces experimental support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE), a SIMD instruction set for ARM64 CPUs. Also for the runtime, a compiler optimization called a “strength reduction” has been introduced for loops. With this capability, the loop operation is replaced with a faster, logically equivalent operation, according to release notes. […]

What is synthetic data? Examples, use cases and benefits
Synthetic data is information that’s artificially manufactured rather than generated by real-world events. It’s created algorithmically and is used as a stand-in for test data sets of production or operational data, to validate mathematical models and to train machine learning (ML) models. While gathering high-quality data from the real world is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, […]

5 Biggest Hurdles Preventing Delivery Drones
Drones could solve many common problems with last-mile deliveries. They’re fast, don’t emit greenhouse gas emissions, can avoid traffic, and provide a way around worker shortages. Despite those benefits, they have yet to take off in the mainstream. It’s not that drone deliveries are altogether impossible. So, what’s stopping them from rewriting the delivery playbook? […]

How to avoid exceptions in C#
var result = Test.DivideNumbers(15, 5); if (result.IsSuccess) Console.WriteLine($”The result is: {result.Value}”); else Console.WriteLine($”Error occurred: {result.ErrorMessage}”); Avoid exceptions using the Try-Parse pattern The Try-Parse pattern is another great way to avoid exceptions in your application. In C#, the Try-Parse pattern is represented using the TryParse method, which converts a data type into another and […]

What is a drone (UAV)?
A drone is an unmanned aircraft. Drones are more formally known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or unmanned aircraft systems. Essentially, a drone is a flying robot that can be remotely controlled or fly autonomously using software-controlled flight plans in its embedded systems, which work in conjunction with onboard sensors and a Global Positioning System […]

How Will Smart Dust Impact Cybersecurity?
Smart dust is small, technologically advanced and invisible to the naked eye. Will it become a staple in the cybersecurity industry? Or will cybercriminals use it to launch even more sophisticated cyberattacks? What Is Smart Dust? Smart dust is a group of wireless, microscopic Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Each of these autonomous microelectromechanical nodes […]

The reality of AI-centric coding
“For example, you can ask these LLMs to create code and they sometimes make up a framework, or an imaginary library or module, to do what you want it to do,” Taulli said, explaining that the LLMs were not creating a new framework as much as pretending that they created it, but they actually didn’t. […]
