With economic weight shifting toward net zero, now is the time for ECAs, Exim-Banks, and PRIs to lead. Despite previous success, aligning global economic governance to climate goals requires additional activities across export finance and investment insurance institutions. The new research project initiated by Oxford University, ClimateWorks Foundation, and Mission 2020 including other practitioners and academics from institutions such as Atradius DSB, Columbia University, EDC, FMO and Offenburg University focuses on reshaping future trade and investment governance in light of climate action. The idea of a ‘Berne Union Net Zero Club’ is an important item in a potential package of reforms. This can include realigning mandates and corporate strategies, principles of intervention, as well as ECA, Exim-Bank and PRI operating models in order to accelerate net zero transformation. Full transparency regarding Berne Union members’ activities would be an excellent starting point. We invite all interested parties in the sector to come together to chart our own path to net zero
Additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing (3DP) has become a widespread new technology in recent years and is now used in many areas of industry. At the same time, there is an increasing need for training courses that impart the knowledge required for product development in 3D printing. In this article, a workshop on “Rapid Prototyping” is presented, which is intended to provide students with the technical and creative knowledge for product development in the field of AM. Today, additive manufacturing is an important part of teaching for the training of future engineers. In a detailed literature review, the advantages and disadvantages of previous approaches to training students are examined and analyzed. On this basis, a new approach is developed in which the students analyze and optimize a given product in terms of additivie manufacturing. The students use two different 3D printers to complete this task. In this way, the students acquire the skills to work independently with different processes and materials. With this new approach, the students learn to adapt the design to different manufacturing processes and to observe the restrictions of different materials. The results of these courses are evaluated through feedback in a presentation and a questionnaire.
Künstliche Intelligenz gilt immer noch als eine der zukunftsweisenden Technologien, die viele Bereiche wie etwa Medizin, Handel, Verkehr und öffentliche Verwaltung revolutioniert. So scheint es nicht verwunderlich, dass bereits knapp jedes fünfte Unternehmen in Deutschland zurzeit KI-Systeme implementiert oder zumindest ihren Einsatz plant. Besonders hoch im Kurs stehen KI-Projekte, um Daten zu analysieren. Ganze 70 Prozent der Unternehmen sehen hier das größte Potenzial, so die Ergebnisse einer Umfrage von PWC [1]. Dennoch lauern einige Stolpersteine, wollen Unternehmen intelligente Datenprojekte umsetzen. Welche Hürden auftauchen können und wie sich diese meistern lassen, erläutert dieser Artikel anhand eines KI-Projektes zur Analyse von Geschäftspartnerdaten [2].
A method for 3D printing of a robot element, more particularly a finger for use in robotics. At least one sensor is concomitantly printed by means of multi-material printing during the printing of the robot element. A gripping element produced by a method of this kind includes a number of printed layers of robot element material and a concomitantly printed sensor.
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum 3D-Druck eines Roboterelements, insbesondere eines Fingers 5, zum Einsatz in der Robotik, bei dem mittels Multimaterialdruck wenigstens ein Sensor 7 während des Drucks des Roboterelements mitgedruckt wird. Weiterhin betrifft die Erfindung ein Betätigungs- oder Greifelement, insbesondere Finger 5 für einen Roboter, das durch ein derartiges Verfahren hergestellt wurde.
To reach customers by dialog marketing campaigns is more and more difficult. This is a common problem of companies and marketing agencies worldwide: information overload, multi-channel-communication and a confusing variety of offers make it hard to gain the attention of the target group. The contribution of this paper is four-fold: we provide an overview of the current state of print dialog marketing activities and trends (I). Based on this corpus we identify the main key performance indicators of dialog marketing customer interaction (II). A qualitative user experience study identifies the customer wishes and needs, focusing on lottery offers for senior citizens (III). Finally, we evaluate the success of two different dialog marketing campaigns with 20,000 clients and compare the key performance indicators of the original hands-on experience-based print mailings with user experience tested and optimized mailings (IV).
Time-of-Flight Cameras Enabling Collaborative Robots for Improved Safety in Medical Applications
(2020)
Human-robot collaboration is being used more and more in industry applications and is finding its way into medical applications. Industrial robots that are used for human-robot collaboration, cannot detect obstacles from a distance. This paper introduced the idea of using wireless technology to connect a Time-of-Flight camera to off-the-shelf industrial robots. This way, the robot can detect obstacles up to a distance of five meters. Connecting Time-of-Flight cameras to robots increases the safety in human-robot collaboration by detecting obstacles before a collision. After looking at the state of the art, the authors elaborated the different requirements for such a system. The Time-of-Flight camera from Heptagon is able to work in a range of up to five meters and can connect to the control unit of the robot via a wireless connection.
