CONTENTS
Welcome
By the time this issue hits desks around the world, the summer period will have well and truly ended for many of us. I’ve spent much of the summer bouncing between trade shows, conferences and other important industry events across Europe, and it’s safe to say that there are several common trends prevailing across all industrial engineering sectors as we head into winter. Digitalisation is a key one, with
many industries continuing to ramp up their adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and simulation. For instance, AI is helping car designers to accelerate ADAS development (page 8), improve data-driven maintenance in manufacturing (page 19) and aid in the discovery of new materials (page 30). Automation is also high on the
agenda for engineering firms, with many realising the benefits of robots and autonomous systems (page 44) within their manufacturing operations. Meanwhile, advanced solutions for vehicle electrification (page 12), variable frequency drives (page 42) and circular economy 3D printing (page 14) are continuing the push towards Net Zero. In addition, this issue’s cover story
(page 6) looks at how 3D printed quantum sensors could revolutionise the med-tech landscape, from controlling prosthetics to aiding locked-in patients. As always, our show preview
section highlights upcoming industry events that are of importance to the design engineering community from page 47.
