PID controllers were invented at the beginning of the 20th century. Nevertheless, their mathematical description was obtained much later. Today, this mechanism finds various applications in different industries from autopilots to industrial automation. When working with PID controllers, one of the most challenging tasks is to tune them properly. …

PID controllers are mechanisms used in control loops for shaping control signals to achieve the required accuracy and quality of transient response. They compute the signal as the sum of three control terms: proportional, integral, and derivative. PID controllers can be physical mechanisms or algorithms implemented on microcontrollers. They can…

The term “industrial electronics” refers to any electrical equipment or system used for manufacturing goods or participating in this process indirectly. Such electronics include but are not limited to measurement, monitoring, and control systems, battery management systems, industrial automation equipment, motor drives, etc. Industrial hardware development follows the same basic…

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a variety of devices equipped with sensors, computing capabilities, and other technologies that communicate with other gadgets and equipment. The number of IoT solutions worldwide promises to triple in the ten years from 2020 to 2030 and exceed 29 million units. IoT devices are…

After a brief downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the logistics industry has returned to robust growth. By 2027, the global logistics market is expected to exceed 13.7 billion euros. The main competitive advantage in logistics is the speed of delivery. To some degree or another, all innovations and improvements…

Cross-platform toolkits allow developers to create applications for multiple platforms. Programmers use software frameworks for quick application design. Toolkits may have compilers, code libraries, and APIs to create software. In this article, we look at solutions for embedded systems running on Linux/Unix, Windows, and Android. The Qt framework

Industrial software is used to plan and manage production, logistics, finance, and customer relations. The process of creating software applications has its own characteristics, and the apps themselves may have a particular set of functions. Tasks that industrial applications help solve Software applications collect and process data, provide statistics, and control production processes in the mining…
