Calling all engineers: The Works With Virtual Conference by Silicon Labs happens September 9-10, 2020. This free virtual event will bring together industry leaders, hardware engineers, application designers and developers for the largest smart home event dedicated to integrating smart home application designs with any hub or smart home ecosystem.

Keith Nesrsta, South-Central Regional Sales Manager at Silicon Labs, and Mike Wilkinson, Founder & CEO of Paragon Innovations, spoke about the upcoming event. Both agreed now the right time for engineers to take advantage of the current smart home ecosystems.

“The smart home, if you look at it today, is really in its infancy,” Nesrsta said. “There are a large number of ecosystems that are starting to get deployed into some high volumes. And so, what we wanted to do was create an event that hasn’t been done yet. It’s an event that really focuses in on the smart home itself.”

Works With will allow engineers and developers to innovate, design, collaborate, build and learn how to connect to these different ecosystems with key industry stakeholders.

“This is a conference very much focused on the engineering community,” Nesrsta said. “There will be panel events and technical discussions and over 15 hours of material, 40 sections, and 12 workshops spread throughout the two-day event.”

“This event is a place for us to share things that we’ve learned and learn from others in the smart home space,” Wilkinson said. “I’m hoping my team will get the opportunity to learn even more about technologies we can put to use in wireless smart home stuff we’re already doing.”

This two-day virtual event is free, but registration is required. Register Now.

Machine condition monitoring in 2025: MRFR says $1.49 billion, FMI says $3.2 billion

Machine condition monitoring in 2025: MRFR says $1.49 billion, FMI says $3.2 billion

IndexBox expects machine health monitoring to spread from power generation and heavy process industries into mid-sized manufacturing, fleets and rail by 2035. Market Research Future values the market at $1.49 billion in 2025, while Future Market Insights puts it at $3.2 billion. MRFR gives hardware 47.2% of 2025 revenue and forecasts software to grow 11.8% a year through 2035.

  • 01Hardware is about half or more of spending (46% to over 55%), and vibration leads where reported (34.2% to 36.1%), while one forecast puts software growth at 11.8% a year. That mix is a better budgeting benchmark than any total.
  • 02Analysts are urging vendors toward pricing tied to downtime avoided instead of sensor count, which would make the downtime baseline, and who measures it, the clause that matters most in a monitoring contract.

Schneider Electric's TeSys Tera puts failure warnings inside old motor control cabinets

Schneider Electric's TeSys Tera puts failure warnings inside old motor control cabinets

Schneider Electric's TeSys Tera adds fault protection and pre-failure alarms. Its quoted 30–50% downtime cut is a general benchmark, so each plant's own hourly downtime cost decides the payback.

  • 01Predictive maintenance on legacy motors can now arrive as a starter swap: TeSys Tera fits existing control cabinets and intelligent motor control center buckets instead of requiring a rebuild.
  • 02The hourly downtime cost a plant plugs in could decide the business case before the hardware does.
  • 03The 30–50% downtime reduction attached to the launch is a McKinsey benchmark for predictive versus reactive maintenance in general, so the useful proof will be measured results from retrofitted plants.
