Embedded system is the heart and core of most electronic products available in the market. It’s the implementation of engineering in which hardware meets the software. We are surrounded by a world of embedded systems, with mini-computers in biometric door locks, airplanes, cars, pacemakers, etc. These resources constrained, small, smart and powerful systems help us in our…
Nearly 4.18 trillion kWh of electricity were generated in the United States at utility-scale electricity generation facilities in 2018, and around 17% was generated from renewable sources. The statistics recently published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration state that approximately 67 billion kWh of the total electricity generated in the country last year were…
With the experience of working in more than 500 Plants with various types of Electrical services, I have come to know about the different problems Engineers face during Maintenance and Breakdown. Instead of keeping the exposure limited to me I decided to share it with my fellow engineers here by writing case studies. One such case study is as follows.

Amid the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the convergence of technology with various production processes, including supply chain and logistics, has become an indispensable part of doing business today. Businesses are voicing the need for tools to further enhance supply chain visibility and traceability, defining a new way to do amplify profits in the Information Age.…
Designing an efficient Power Supply circuit is not less of a challenge. Those who have already worked with SMPS circuits would easily agree that the flyback transformer design plays a vital role in designing an efficient power supply circuit. Most times these transformers are not available off the shelf in the exact same parameter that suits our design. So in this…
Human lifespan has exponentially increased in recent times and is expected to go up to 80 years till 2050. One of the most important factors based on which the age graph has increased is the involvement of Information and communications technology (ICT) in the health care sector is continuously increasing, giving rise to a major innovation in various medical devices and…
Just like the previous case studies, we bring to you one more actual incident that happened in one of the Chemical / Process Industry. We thought it was important and must be brought to notice to all concerned people working in O&M or Project in chemical industries to take due note of it as it may help other industries who doesn’t know about it.
Repeated…
Can Programming in DCS also lead to Tripping of HT Motors? In today’s case study I am going to present a case involving GRR (Grid Rotor Resistance) which is used in Slip ring induction motor. This type of problem is pretty rare in industries and hence would like to share the experience, so that the problem we faced will not be faced by others or can be avoided…
AUTOSAR (Automotive Open System Architecture) can be defined as a common platform for the whole automotive industry that is designed to enhance the scope of application for vehicle functionality without affecting the current operating model. AUTOSAR is basically an open and standard software architecture which was jointly developed by automobile manufacturers, suppliers…
Industry 4.0 is the fancy name given to the fourth Industrial revolution. In this article, we will discuss about what is Industry 4.0 and how is it going to enhance the future of Industries? Why such a buzz about it? Why failing to adopt it may kill your business? Let us take a look. It is sometime spelled as Industrie 4.0, this is the German translation of Industry so both…
Unless some Tony Stark steps in and invents the Arc reactor or the research in Solar Power Satellites (SPS) for wireless Energy transfer gets through, we humans have to depend on Batteries for powering our portable or remote electronic devices. The most common type of rechargeable batteries that you find in consumer electronics is either Lithium ion or of Lithium Polymer…
Operational Amplifiers or Op-Amps are considered the workhorse of Analog Electronic Designs. Back from the Analog computers era, Op-Amps have been used for mathematical operations with analog voltages, hence the name operational amplifier. To date, Op-Amps are extensively used for voltage comparison, differentiation, integration, summation and many other things. Needless to…
