In recent years, driven by the rapid growth of AI large language models, high-performance computing (HPC), and increasing data centre computing demands, AI servers have been evolving toward higher power, faster dynamics, and greater power density.

ITECH provides professional products and testing solutions for the AI server industry, enabling users to systematically validate the performance of AI server power systems, including Power Shelves & Power Racks, HVDC server power supplies, GPU/CPU power modules, BBU bidirectional DC-DC power modules, BBU battery packs, board-level power supply units, and SST modules.

ITECH offers a comprehensive portfolio of high power density testing equipment, including high-dynamic high-power DC electronic loads, ultra-low-voltage high-current DC loads, grid simulators, bidirectional DC power supplies, and battery testing systems. These solutions support testing requirements ranging from component-level and board-level validation to full rack-level verification, helping users efficiently perform dynamic loading, transient response testing, efficiency validation, and transient cycling aging tests.

As the energy crisis intensifies, renewable energy sources like solar and wind power are rapidly developing. ITECH offers professional products and solutions for the photovoltaic sector, enabling performance verification of solar modules/PV arrays, microinverters (DC-AC), energy storage batteries, PCS inverters, off-grid/on-grid PV inverters, and home storage devices.

ITECH’s grid simulators meet international standards for green energy generation, including IEEE 1547, IEC 62116, VDE-AR-N4105, EN 50549, and UL 1741, ensuring efficient and reliable testing. ITECH provides high-power density equipment, including PV simulators (up to 2250V/10MW), grid simulators (3U 21kVA, 1MVA+), battery simulators, energy storage test systems (ITS5300), and regenerative AC electronic loads (IT8200 series), enabling compliance with these grid connection standards.

In the context of carbon neutrality, the electric vehicle market is growing rapidly. Along with the decay of power battery life to less than 80%, the electrochemical performance of the battery will decline significantly, making it difficult to fully meet the normal power needs of the car, and the battery will enter the end-of-life stage.

Comprehensive environmental factors and economic factors, recycling of used power batteries is a necessary task.

In recent years, with the development of artificial intelligence, large-model algorithms, and high-performance servo control technologies, embodied robots are moving from laboratories into a wide range of application scenarios, including industrial manufacturing, logistics and delivery, medical assistance, and home services.

ITECH provides comprehensive test solutions covering motor drives, actuators, sensors, batteries/BMS, and chip PCBA. With high dynamic performance, multi-channel capability, high precision, and regenerative energy-saving features, ITECH meets the needs of both R&D validation and production line testing.

New webinar recording shows how facilities teams can identify waste, uncover equipment issues, and improve performance.
Are you looking for ways to turn your industrial energy data into real bottom-line, business results?

Many facilities collect huge amounts of OT (operational technology) data, but it stays siloed or under utilized.

Watch and listen to a recent webinar hosted by Opto 22’s Rene Gamero and Alex Agnello from OptoPartner True Data Ops (TDO). See how a simple plug-and-play solution can help you start collecting and sharing data for cost savings and better decision making.

Updated interactive website demo provides guidance for choosing sinking or sourcing modules for both groov and SNAP PAC systems.

Confusion around sinking and sourcing wiring is one of the most common causes of field issues in DC control systems. Get it wrong, and devices won’t turn on—or worse, you end up rewiring a panel that should have worked the first time.

But manufacturers label their DC outputs in different ways. We updated our interactive demo to make the concepts simple. It shows exactly how sinking and sourcing circuits work and helps you select the correct I/O modules for both your groov and SNAP PAC systems. 

DMC Inc. offers a unique experience and perspective on the groov EPIC system in the first of a three part guest blog series.
Opto 22’s groov EPIC (Edge Programmable Industrial Controller) is more than just a modern PLC. With an embedded Linux operating system, the groov EPIC processor supports a wide array of platforms for programming, visualization, and more at the network’s edge.

For a complete overview of the groov EPIC and its features, you’ll want to check out this three part guest blog series from Natalie Pippolo of DMC, Inc.

Opto 22’s SNAP PAC System is an integrated system of hardware and software for industrial control, remote monitoring, data acquisition, and Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

Consider the SNAP PAC System for your next project:

• Simple to understand and use
• Lower capital and long-term costs
• One system for many automation projects
• Advanced programming tools
• Connectivity to third-party software and devices
• The best I/O in the business

SoftPAC™ is a software-based programmable automation controller (PAC) designed for PC-based control. It can be used with groov EPIC, groov RIO, SNAP PAC R-series, SNAP PAC EB-series, and G4EB2 I/O units.

Programmed just like an Opto 22 hardware PAC, SoftPAC runs your PAC Control strategy independently on an embedded or standalone PC.

SoftPAC has the following advantages when compared to a hardware PAC:

• You can run your PAC Control control program (strategy) in a Microsoft Windows environment rather than on a standalone or rack-mounted PAC.
• If you are a machine builder or an OEM with a PC already in your product, your cost for a controller is reduced.
• SoftPAC takes advantage of a PC’s ability to quickly read and write to files as well as its greater space for data storage. This makes it especially useful for applications requiring extended file storage, frequent access to files, or math-intensive processes.

Earthquake Early Warning System

Every second counts. The Earthquake Early Warning System (EEWS) developed by Sanlien can detect earthquakes before they arrive. The advance warning allows people to take action to escape from disasters.

Building Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a vital discipline in civil engineering, focusing on assessing and monitoring the safety, condition, and performance of structures like buildings and bridges. SHM uses real-time data, including factors like vibrations and strains, to detect issues, predict problems, and inform maintenance decisions for these structures, ensuring their longevity and safety in an ever-advancing technological landscape.

Enhancing Foundation and Deep Excavation Monitoring for Safer Infrastructure

Geotechnical monitoring is vital for slope and landslide safety, and the integration of Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) technology has transformed this field. NB-IoT enables efficient real-time data collection and analysis, ensuring early detection and rapid response to geotechnical challenges. Explore the significance of NB-IoT in safeguarding communities and infrastructure from natural terrain instability threats.

Introduction to Vibration Control Curve in Industrial Plants

The Vibration Control (VC) curve is a vital tool used in the analysis of vibration-sensitive instruments, particularly in industrial settings. It represents the vibration response of instruments or machinery across different frequencies. By plotting vibration amplitude against frequency, engineers and researchers can understand how different components within a system respond to varying frequencies of vibration. This information is critical for ensuring the proper functioning and longevity of sensitive equipment.

In summary, the VC curve and the broader practice of monitoring industrial plant vibrations are indispensable for maintaining efficient, safe, and reliable operations. Through continuous monitoring and analysis, industries can prevent disruptions, enhance productivity, save costs, and ensure the safety of both equipment and personnel.
