ADVERTORIALS Embedded ARM Core Front Solutions
from ITRON (U.K.) LTD Itron’s powerful ARM9-based embedded TFT modules provide serial interfaces to link host and peripheral devices using USB, RS232, RS485, Async, SPI, I2C, CAN and Ethernet. Most ports double up as a general I/O with IRQ functionality. Our embedded solutions allow design engineers to move application processing into the TFT module which reduces host overhead and enables easily manageable communication speeds. The host can send raw data to the TFT module for the operating system to process and synchronise display refresh, navigation and peripheral control.

Powering the World of Electronics
Further to the successful workshop held in Reading in 2019, Wurth Electronics UK are excited to team up with Rohde & Schwarz to bring you the 2021 edition of Powering the World of Electronics - Power Supply Design and Optimisation. This will be taking place at the National Conference Centre in Birmingham on Monday 13th September 2021. Field Application Engineers from Wurth Electronics, as well as Engineers from Rohde &
Schwarz, will present on a number of topics with a mix of theoretical examples and live demonstrations of the technology in action. This will include power converter practical design considerations, tools and tips, power modules and test instruments, as well as an introduction to Wurth Electronics' free REDEXPERT tool.

joseph.butterfield@we-online.com Changing the Colour of Flexible Urethanes
A new range of urethanes has been launched by Techsil in the UK solving two of our main niggles – colour stability and smell! Polyurethanes are
well known for their distinctive aroma with the natural amber base colour to contend with. BJB’s new ‘ColorFlex’ range, available at Techsil, solves both of these limitations, offering a range of low odour; semi-translucent; flexible polyurethanes which have a neutral white base colour (very easy to pigment!). They come with excellent UV protection, a wide range of hardnesses from 50 to 95 Shore
A and offer alternative fast or medium work times, REACH compliant to boot. The ease of pigmenting, colour stability, abrasion, rebound and tear resistance of the
ColorFlex range is currently taking the special effects industry by storm and opens up a whole new dimension of possibilities for rapid prototyping and casting.
ABB launches virtual technical
assistance support service ‘A problem shared’ – new virtual assistance support service from ABB provides instant access to virtual face to face expert technical advice
Getting to grips with robotic automation is now even easier with the launch of ABB’s Virtual Assistance support service. The service uses a virtual platform to provide fast access to expert support to help solve technical queries and issues face to face, reducing downtime and increasing productivity. The platform enables video and images of technical problems to be transmitted live from the
field where they can be seen by a remote ABB technician who can provide expert assistance. Using a smartphone camera, users can establish a video link with the technician to allow
them to see the robot or controller. The technician can then make recommendations to the user on the appropriate steps to take, talking them through the steps needed to resolve a query or issue or obtain a further diagnosis for onsite assistance. As a means of providing customers with remote access to 24/7/365 technical support,
the Virtual Assistance support service is ideal for helping to address the current restrictions on travel and site access surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. By enabling around 25 per cent of enquiries to be resolved virtually, it can also help to reduce the environmental impact of engineers travelling to site. As well as a standalone service, the Virtual Assistance app is also being offered as part of
an expanded offering called Technical Support Plus. Including Virtual Assistance, a condition- based monitoring report and one ABB certified training course, Technical Support Plus is aimed at providing companies with a development path for training their own dedicated on- site engineers with basic robot programming, operation, and maintenance skills.
