In 20 Minutes, The 450 kW DC Charger Recharges The Battery From 10 To 80 Percent

**Lotus Flash Charger all-in-one, liquid-cooled DC charger**

Since the Emira is essentially the final ICE model made in Norfolk, Lotus is bidding adieu to internal combustion engines with this sports vehicle. The brand, which is owned by Geely, has promised to transition entirely to electric vehicles by 2028.

To that end, it has already introduced the Eletre SUV and Emeya sedan. A sports vehicle with no emissions is also in the works, as is a smaller crossover. The British company is launching a variety of charging options to complement its expanding line of electric vehicles.

Lotus has created a liquid-cooled DC charger that can charge a battery at 450 kW in an effort to alleviate charging anxiety.

With the charging cord put in, you can restore 88.5 miles (142 kilometers) of range in only around five minutes for the Eletre R. To put that in perspective, a Hyundai Ioniq 5 recharges the battery for 62 miles (100 kilometers) in the same amount of time as a Tesla Supercharger V3, which refills the battery for 75 miles (120 kilometers).

When charging at 450 kW, the liquid-cooled DC charger allows the Eletre R to move from 10 to 80 percent in 20 minutes. It will increase range by 74 miles (120 kilometers) at 350 kW in five minutes. This robust charger is matched with a liquid-cooled power cabinet that is perfect for rest stops along roads. Additionally, Lotus designed a charging station that can simultaneously accommodate up to four electric vehicles.

In the second quarter of 2024, these incredibly potent charging options—which are now operational in China—will be deployed throughout Europe and the Middle East. In due future, other nations outside of these zones will be included.

Lotus is a subsidiary of the Geely conglomerate, which also includes Polestar in its business group. We are bringing this up since Polestar and StoreDot are developing an even quicker charging option.

Working together, the two are developing a technique that can increase range by 100 miles (161 kilometers) in only five minutes. The technology, called extreme fast charging (XFC), is still under testing, but according to the developers, it won’t deteriorate batteries.

On Monday, Huawei Technologies began a product launch event by thanking China for its support as rumor’s circulated that the Chinese tech giant was about to make further announcements regarding its most recent Mate 60 smartphone series.

EU Fines Intel €376.36 Million For Violating Antitrust Laws In The Market For Computer Chips

September 23, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

The European Commission has reimpose a punishment on Intel for breaking antitrust laws in the market for computer processors, amounting to around €376.36 million.

The EU claims that Intel’s actions regarding its dominating market position in x86 central processing units (CPUs) prevented competitors from entering the relevant market, which is the subject of the penalties.

Launch Of The Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 For Budget-Friendly Phones

September 18, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

The 4nm process technology-based Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor was presented by Qualcomm over the weekend. This chipset is designed specifically for smartphone manufacturers looking for a strong foundation appropriate for more affordable handsets than the Gen 8 CPUs.

The Snapdragon 7s’ CPU is less powerful than that of its Snapdragon 7 series contemporaries, and the ISP (Image Signal Processor) likewise performs less admirably, suggesting a little worse overall ranking.

There have been rumor’s that the Redmi Note 13 series, which will be released later this month, will debut at the same time as the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2.

Due to the lack of a Snapdragon 7 first-generation or second-generation model, the naming system is still unclear. Additionally, the “s”‘s significance is unknown, but it obviously denotes less requirements.

Specifications:

The CPU is built with four performance cores running at 2.4 GHz and four efficiency cores running at 1.95 GHz.

Despite the fact that the Adreno GPU’s precise model is unknown, it is mentioned that it supports FHD+ resolution at a quick 144Hz refresh rate.

The FastConnect 6700 platform’s connection capabilities are inferior to those of the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2’s 6900 platform.

As a result, the maximum download speed is 2.9 Gbps, and Bluetooth is only supported up to version 5.2, which still supports low-energy audio communication.

The Spectra ISP can handle smartphones with up to 200 MP single cameras and provides 4K video capture at 30 frames per second. LPDDR5 memory is configured, running at 3200 MHz, while Quick Charge 4+ and compatibility for USB-C are further features.

When the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 will be available on Android phones has not yet been announced by Qualcomm. Maybe the first Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 phone is closer than we believe as the Redmi Note 13 series will be released later this month.

Apple Complies With EU Laws With A New iPhone And charger

September 5, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

When Apple’s newest iPhone is announced on September 12th, it will almost surely have a USB-C charging port.

Unlike competitors like Samsung, the company now uses its own Lightning adapter on its phones.

To save customers money and reduce waste, a European Union legislation mandates that phone makers use a standard charging connector by December 2024.

The majority of new Apple devices, including the most recent iPads, now utilize USB-C, although the company had advocated against the EU regulation.

An Apple spokeswoman told BBC News when it was first announced in September 2021: “Strict regulation mandating just one type of connector stifles innovation rather than encouraging it, which in turn will harm consumers in Europe and around the world.”

There are already Lightning to USB-C adapters available from other electronics retailers like Amazon, and since the 2017 release of the iPhone 8, wireless charging is enabled on all iPhone models.

The Lightning cord, which costs £19 at the Apple store, may soon become obsolete as the current iPhone 14 appears to be the company’s final product to exclusively utilize it.

Although the tech giant is less likely to produce a new version of the handset for the European market only, it is unclear whether this will be a global alteration to the device.

The new iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro smartphones, which are scheduled to be presented next week at the company’s annual autumn event, are expected to have the upgrades.

In accordance with a report by Bloomberg News, consumers will profit from the transition by having better internet speeds and the ability to charge their iPads, Macs, and iPhones with a single charger.

According to the EU, a variety of “small and medium-sized portable electronics” are covered by the common-charger regulation, including:

mobile phones
tablets
e-readers
mice and keyboards
GPS (global positioning system) devices
headphones, headsets and earphones
digital cameras
handheld videogame consoles
portable speakers

No matter who produces the devices, any of these that are charged by a wired cable will need to have a USB Type-C connector.

Although manufacturers have more time to make the improvements, laptops will also need to adhere by the requirements.

It would reportedly save customers “up to €250m [£213m] a year on unnecessary charger purchases” and save trash by 11,000 tons annually, according to the EU.

Boosting Productivity With HMI: Integrating Equipment And MES

August 28, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automation News

FUKUTA ELEC. & MACH Co., Ltd. (FUKUTA) has continuously changed with the times since its founding in 1988 and has proven its superiority in the design and production of industrial motors. FUKUTA has recently established itself as a major participant in the electric motor market, serving as a major supplier to a well-known producer of electric vehicles and establishing strong alliances with the others.

The Issue

FUKUTA intends to establish a second production line to help satisfy the rising demand. By integrating a Manufacturing Execution System (MES), which will result in a more efficient business and higher production, FUKUTA sees this expansion as a great chance to digitize its manufacturing process. Therefore, finding a solution that would make MES integration with a variety of their current equipment easier is FUKUTA’s primary goal.

Download Weintek HMI Software & Manuals

Key Conditions

Gather information from various PLCs and equipment on the manufacturing line, then synchronize it with the MES.
Make MES data available to on-site staff by giving them access to work orders, production schedules, inventories, and other pertinent information, for example.

The Solution

An HMI is already a crucial component of contemporary production, and FUKUTA’s is no exception. It makes machine operation more intuitive than ever. Fukuta chose the cMT3162X as the main HMI for this project and took use of its robust built-in connection.

This tactical approach opens the path for effective data flow between equipment and MES and readily assists in overcoming several communication problems.

1) MES And PLC Integration

A single HMI is intended to link to well over ten devices in FUKUTA’s proposal, including PLCs from reputable manufacturers like Omron and Mitsubishi, power assembly tools, and barcode scanners. While this is happening, the HMI uses an OPC UA server to transmit all of the crucial field data from these devices directly to the MES.

This makes it simple to gather and upload the whole production data to the MES, ensuring full traceability of every motor manufactured and laying the groundwork for future system maintenance, quality control, and performance analysis.

2) Real-Time MES Data Retrieval

Beyond data uploads, the HMI-MES connection also includes. Since the MES in use supports webpages, FUKUTA makes advantage of the cMT3162X’s built-in Web Browser to give on-site personnel rapid access to the MES and, therefore, the status of nearby production lines.

The on-site crew can react to situations more quickly because to the improved information accessibility and the awareness that follows, which lowers downtime and boosts overall production efficiency.

In addition to meeting the project’s fundamental objectives, FUKUTA has adopted additional Weintek HMI technologies to streamline the manufacturing process. FUKUTA used Weintek HMI’s remote monitoring solution to monitor equipment in a more adaptable manner.

Engineers and technicians may instantly view HMI displays from any location with cMT Viewer, allowing them to monitor equipment performance in real-time. Additionally, they are able to keep an eye on many devices at once without interfering with on-site activities.

Their new manufacturing line’s early phases benefited from this collaborative quality, which eventually reduced the time it took to reach full operation. This collaborative quality also accelerated system tuning during trial runs.

Results

FUKUTA has effectively introduced MES into its operations using Weintek’s technologies. This not only assisted in digitizing their production records but also resolved time-consuming issues like manual data entry and equipment monitoring.

With the opening of the new production line, FUKUTA projects a 30–40% increase in motor production capacity, with an annual output of around 2 million units. Most significantly, FUKUTA has surmounted the challenges associated with data gathering that are frequently encountered in traditional manufacturing, and they now have access to all production data.

When they try to improve their production methods and yield in the upcoming years, these statistics will be essential.
