An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release OLM100 enables accurate positioning on tracks from SICK, which we summarised at the time by saying "SICK has developed a camera-based optical linear-measurement sensor that uses barcodes to deliver accurate, high-speed, non-contact linear positioning on curved and straight tracks.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Military bridging system uses Rotabolt fasteners from James Walker Rotabolt: "The latest version of the Dry Support Bridge (DSB), an advanced tactical military bridging system from WFEL, uses more than 1,000 Rotabolt tension control fasteners to ensure structural integrity.".

In March 2010, we covered the news from GE Intelligent Platforms - take a look at Open Enterprise joins systems to Proficy software which says: "GE Intelligent Platforms has announced the availability of Proficy Open Enterprise 1.2, which connects enterprise systems and the Proficy software suite.".

Take a look also at the news release from Open Design Alliance, ODA and Ledas update geometric constraint solver, as well as Evologics to show advantages of S2C at Oceanology from Evologics, and Mach 2010 to feature Open Mind product debuts from Open Mind Technologies.
