Digital twins are a growing form of technology that combine the power of IoT, machine learning and AI to build a digital replica of a physical machine. With heightened ability to predict problems and find solutions for them, these twins are making people do a double take. A study published by NASA Langley Research Center said, “The Digital Twin, integrates ultra-high fidelity simulation with [a] vehicle’s on-board integrated vehicle health management system, maintenance history and all available historical and fleet data to mirror the life of its flying twin and enable unprecedented levels of safety and reliability.”

Currently, companies like Tesla are seeing the future of digital twins with their ability to monitor vehicles performance in real time and growing into predictive measures to prevent road accidents from happening. With the amount of potential that digital twins will bring to IOT, they are proving that two heads really are better than one.

For constant plant-floor process streams, a data historian is often a better fit than SQL Server or Oracle

For constant plant-floor process streams, a data historian is often a better fit than SQL Server or Oracle

Bill Schmidt of Renson House, in a recorded segment titled Data Historian, argues plant-floor process streams are better captured in a data historian than in Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle, since historians can store timestamps and changes rather than repeated readings and can make time-window reports feel faster. Precedence Research values industrial IoT at USD 602.87 billion in 2026, and vendor posts from CrateDB and Tiger Data describe where historians can fall short for broader analytics and why teams often want SQL access to that data.

  • 01Precedence Research values the industrial IoT market at USD 602.87 billion in 2026, growing 16.8% a year to 2035, so plant data streams keep getting larger.
  • 02In Schmidt’s example, historians can store a timestamped point when a value changes (skipping repeats), while logging every repeated reading in a relational table can increase storage and slow time-window reports.
  • 03Historians such as AVEVA PI handle capture; CrateDB argues cross-plant analytics often sits beside the historian, and Tiger Data notes teams want SQL/dashboards while generic relational tables can degrade as they grow.

CED: Specify holding brakes where gravity can move a servo axis

CED: Specify holding brakes where gravity can move a servo axis

CED’s Nicholas Rodacz demonstrates spring-set servo holding brakes. Selection requires the correct torque rating and manufacturer instructions; the bench demonstration does not replace a machine risk assessment or establish personnel safety.

  • 01A spring-set holding brake is intended to hold a stationary shaft within its rated torque; it is not automatically a safety brake.
  • 02Gravity and other stored energy require a machine-level assessment of load holding and any additional safety measures.
  • 03Use the exact motor specification and manufacturer inspection procedure. Hand-turning a shaft is not a sufficient brake-identification or safety acceptance test.

Mapbox says Traffic 2.0 gets arrival times right on 98% of trips

Mapbox says Traffic 2.0 gets arrival times right on 98% of trips

Mapbox says Traffic 2.0 gives accurate ETAs on 98% of trips. For logistics and field teams, the value is fresh road and place data AI agents can act on.

  • 01Traffic 2.0 claims accurate ETAs on 98% of trips, a vendor figure fleet teams can benchmark against ETA accuracy on their own lanes.
  • 02An AI agent that reroutes a driver is only as useful as the traffic data underneath it; Mapbox's agentic mapping engine processes anonymized movement data from over 45,000 applications.
  • 03The Places API, now in public preview, combines business listings with entrances, building footprints, operating hours and visitation patterns; leaving preview is one signal to watch.
