The use of machines and devices controlled by computers and microcontrollers (which are essentially smaller, more specialized computers) has become commonplace. However, as the Internet keeps growing, another revolution – Industry 4.0 – is becoming a popular topic. Advantech and Brainboxes products support this revolution.
Industry 4.0 is about using cutting edge components that support automation and about being able to process and share data between separate machines or even entire technological blocks. This will help with continuous improvement of manufacturing processes and ensuring that products manufactured this way meet all customer needs. Communication at two levels – horizontal and vertical – is necessary to achieve this. It enables constant connectivity and exchange of information between all parties involved in the manufacturing process. With this solution, a “party” won’t be a factory department or a worker, but a specific series of products or a machine that manufactures and further processes those products.

EK Fluid Gaming 270 Vanquish
What’s cooler than being cool?
EK Fluid Gaming 275-AG Vanquish
WHEN IT COMES TO liquid cooling, EK is the genuine article. Cooling kits and water blocks are the first thing this Slovenian brand offers, but today we’re going a step further, taking a look at one of EK’s fully liquid-cooled gaming systems. This is the 275-AG Vanquish, an absolute powerhouse for gaming, fitted with an EVGA RTX 2080 Super and AMD Ryzen 7 3800X, along with 32GB of high-speed RAM. Sit down for this: It costs $2,700. Yes, that’s a lot of money to drop on a gaming rig, but consider that the CPU and GPU cost $1,200 to buy separately. The Vanquish is expensive, but you get plenty of bang for your buck.
