Mouser has published a new eBook in collaboration with Vishay, analysing the technologies and components supporting the next generation of Industry 4.0 solutions.
In 'The Next Generation of Industry 4.0', the companies dive deep into the wave of automation revolutionising factories worldwide and the critical solutions making it possible. The eBook provides four detailed articles on digital components facilitating the next generation of manufacturing applications and a helpful infographic looking forward to the future with Industry 5.0. Article topics include IoT sensors, electronic switches, optical control panels, and current sense solutions in GaN DC-DC converters.
Industry 4.0 results from significant technological advancements, including cloud computing, AI, M2M communication, and the IoT. This technology revolution enables manufacturers to automate repetitive processes, including monitoring and communications, decreasing the necessity for human involvement in diagnostics and problem-solving. As Industry 5.0 brings together the strengths of human intuition and machine efficiency, Vishay's advanced collection of components and sensors will support the next generation of solutions for industrial automation.
The new eBook includes links to nine relevant products from the company, including the VCNL4200 proximity and ambient light sensor, which can be employed for proximity detection in industrial actuation applications, such as turning off a display when no one is present and reducing power consumption. The Vishay IHLP-7575GZ-5A and IHLP-7575GZ-51 fixed inductors can be used for DC-DC power applications for computers, displays, and commercial LED lighting. They are also excellent for HEVs and low-speed EVs based on 48V systems. The hybrid storage 196 HVC ENYCAP capacitors can store energy, supplying backup power for battery-operated applications or as a storage device for energy harvesting. Its high-performance components support various industrial applications, including power support, proximity sensing and DC-DC conversion.
