New figures reveal tariff threat to EU-made battery electric vehicles could result in a £3,400 average price hike if unworkable rules of origin are implemented in January. 10% tariffs would also add £3,600 to cost of British-built BEVs sold in Europe, with conventional ICE models unaffected on both sides. Auto sector calls on EU and UK to delay introduction of new rules of origin requirements to 2027 or put competitiveness, the EV transition and net zero ambitions at risk.

114 Vestas V164-10.0 MW turbines at Scotland’s largest offshore wind farm have all been switched on, taking the country a step closer to net zero. The 1,075MW wind farm has enough capacity to power nearly 1.6 million homes annually – approximately two-thirds of all homes in Scotland – displacing over 2 million tonnes of carbon dioxide from electricity generated by fossil fuels every year.
Virtualization can help with resource optimization by enabling you to run two or more operating systems with parallel desktops on a single physical machine. This allows you to use multiple applications and manage them within the same hardware without the need to build separate workstations.
The $53 trillion manufacturing economy in the US is undergoing a major automation paradigm shift due to Artificial Intelligence (AI). Thanks to new practical frameworks, automation projects that were once impossible or inefficient to implement are now being fast-tracked, and robotics automation is becoming increasingly relevant to a growing number of users and scenarios.
Hyperbaric oxygen chambers are trending hard when it comes to home wellness. It is only a matter of time before the technology becomes mainstream. During this writing, HBOT units are already in certain hospitals in some parts of the world. Some hospitals consider it as part of their therapeutic measures. But, you know what?
The Global Rules Scenario would would lead to production of just 301 million tonnes of virgin plastics by 2040 compared with current projections of 712 million tonnes.
The new Big Build $40 million Robotics and Advanced Manufacturing Centre at Eagle Farm TAFE will train and upskill Queensland’s manufacturing workforce to embrace automation and Industry 4.0, Queensland Government’s initiatives for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Endress+Hauser Canada has added a “Premium” tier to its Smart Support program with additional remote support features and a fast response time when help is requested. The company shares in a press statement that this is aimed at its customers whose businesses might require more vendor support than most because of the size or complexity of their operations.
For most users, a fixed-body indicating plug gage, whether mechanical or pneumatic, is probably the easiest gage to use to get a fast, high-precision and accurate hole diameter. Simply insert the plug gage into the hole and read the deviation from the master to get the diameter. However, the real advantage of these types of gages over an adjustable bore gage is that it is a lot easier and faster to determine hole conditions such as ovality, taper, hourglass or bell-mouth shape.

“There are very few people in Australia who can properly assess and repair servo and proportional valves, so what most customers will do if there’s a problem, they’ll just throw it in the bin – this not only results in unwanted downtime, but creates a real wastage issue,” says Ian Duncan, the Chief Engineer at Motion. From costly downtime to unnecessary wastage, the paper and timber industry face a range of challenges that impact both profitability and sustainability.
