These systems are also a game-changer in transformer monitoring, allowing for real-time data collection and analysis, which can significantly enhance efficiency and safety. [Read more…] about Optical Monitoring: The Future of Precision and Efficiency in High-Resolution Applications

Modern cybersecurity solutions: SIEM or MSSP?

by

What does SIEM mean?

SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) – the definition is that it is a software system that allows you to detect threats and respond to security incidents. It monitors data about security events in real time and provides a historical analysis from a wide range of sources that record events and contextual data.

More advanced SIEM systems and managed SIEM providers are able to combine events from different components of the IT system together to create a new higher-level event.

The main problem for security engineers is that there is too much data to be able to get even a rough overview. That’s why we need automation to distinguish those events that pose a threat or are otherwise interesting to our business from the multitude of events.

Monitoring your device is a critical aspect of ensuring its proper functioning. When a device goes down, it can result in downtime, loss of data, or even more significant issues.

Therefore, it is essential to configure SMS and email notifications to monitor your device’s status.

In this article, we will discuss how to configure SMS and email notifications to monitor your device using Splynx, a powerful software solution for Internet Service Providers (ISPs). [Read more…] about Configuration of SMS and email notifications to monitor your device

Safety Features of Self-Driving Cars

by

Self-driving cars are one of the most revolutionary technological advancements of our time. As with any new technology, safety is paramount for these vehicles. To ensure the safety of their passengers and those around them, self-driving cars have various features designed to keep everyone safe.

With advances in technology, self-driving cars will be safer than human operated vehicles. In the US, 30,000 lives are lost each year in motor vehicle accidents, often due to fatigue, human error, and drunk driving.

Autonomous vehicles function without these behaviors, potentially saving thousands of lives. Here is a look at some of the advanced safety features of self-driving vehicles. [Read more…] about Safety Features of Self-Driving Cars

Automation in Construction: Researchers develop automated system to measure strain and acceleration of precast concrete structures

by

Reserarchers at Chung-Ang University, South Korea have developed a smart portable sensing system for monitoring precast structures during delivery. The multimetric portable system uses an IoT sensor to simultaneously measure strain and acceleration of the structures real-time during delivery.

Precast concrete structures (PCS) reduce workforce dependency and construction time. However, they are subjected to vibrations and strain during transport from their manufacturing site to the construction site.

Effective quality control measures require continuous logging of vibration and strain measurement during the delivery, an essential feature that is missing in current systems. To this end, researchers have now developed a novel portable sensing system that can monitor strain and acceleration to enable efficient PCS delivery.
