TechAward 2022: innovations in the spotlight

This year, no fewer than nine entries are competing for the World of Electronics TechAward 2022. In this edition, we are paying extra attention to sustainability with a separate Green TechAward. On the website of the WoTS 2022 you can vote for your favorite innovation.

You can cast your vote until August 31st. The four nominees will be allowed to present their innovations on the trade fair floor. The winner will be announced on Friday September 30th on the closing day of WoTS.

We would like to introduce the nine entries to you:

CN Red – 2 Series Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO)
The 2 Series Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO) is the ideal oscilloscope for electronic debugging and testing anywhere. Featuring a capacitive touchscreen and a highly intuitive user interface, the 2 Series MSO joins Tektronix’s award-winning family of next-generation oscilloscopes. The 2 Series MSO is the first portable oscilloscope to offer benchtop performance.

Rohde & Schwarz – RTS AREG800A (Green Tech Award)
The RTS Radar Test System overcomes obstacles in testing automotive radar systems for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving (AD) systems. It is a target simulator that generates dynamic radar echoes that can be used in all stages of radar sensor testing. From pre-development through hardware-in-the-loop lab testing to validation of integrated ADAS/AD functions.

Salland Electronics – IoT platform ThingsWay (Green Tech Award)
The ThingsWay platform provides a flying start for IoT projects. The platform makes it possible to connect applications directly and quickly to the internet. The notifications come in via SMS or e-mail and data is stored in the cloud. In the maintenance industry, savings of up to 50% are possible. This makes the platform a solution for the shortage of maintenance personnel.

SCHURTER Electronics – CHS
Conventional switches require unsightly mounting holes in the user interface. This is not the case with the new SCHURTER CHS. The abbreviation CHS stands for Capacitive Hidden Switch. The switch can be mounted concealed behind the surface of non-conductive materials and is therefore invisible. This opens up completely new possibilities for designing user interfaces that optimally meet the requirements of specific applications.

TDK-LAMBDA France SAS – PFH500F 500W AC-DC Power Module
In environments where convection or forced air cooling is not feasible, use the high-efficiency PFH500 Series AC-DC power supplies in a 4′ x 2.4′ footprint. Suitable for outdoor enclosures or liquid-cooled applications, these PCB-mount power supplies accept a wide range of AC input voltages and provide an adjustable, regulated 28V output. With a conduction-cooled baseplate that withstands temperatures from -40°C to 100°C, the supplies operate in high ambient temperatures.

Weiss Technik Nederland – The new ClimeEvent with absolute humidity control (Green Tech Award)
The ClimeEvent 2 is the successor to the successful ClimeEvent. The ClimeEvent has been completely redesigned in terms of technology, appearance and functionality, based on feedback from users. This allows the ClimeEvent 2 to meet the ever-increasing demands of customers, with even higher precision.

Smart Monitoring: the smart IoT solution for machine monitoring

It is the fear of every company: a malfunction in a machine or even machine failure due to a defect. Prevention is better than cure and that is why there is a growing need for condition monitoring of machines. SmartMonitoring meets this need. The smart IoT sensor solution enables companies to monitor any space or machine 24/7 without expensive wired equipment. The device was developed by Althen Sensors & Controls and Treon.

Hydrogen panels: affordable green hydrogen from light and air  

Our planet is warming up and our resources are running out. The climate is crying out for sustainable solutions. How do we ensure that the energy we use is renewable, sustainable, clean and accessible to everyone? Hydrogen panels provide an answer, according to the companies Solhyd and Comate. The modules in the panels use sunlight to create hydrogen gas. Water vapor in the air is converted directly into H2. 

FPGA design environment; Clash
Thanks to our open-source, high level design environment 'Clash' the entire design process is expressed in one and the same formal language: from high-level model to the final details of the implementation on an FPGA. Furthermore, every step in the design process is provable and testable. That makes our solutions first time right, which makes the time to market is significantly shortened.
