Object Management Group Issues DDS C# API Request for Proposal

Leave a comment


https://www.omg.org/

We believe this new API will facilitate the development of a new array of DDS applications that are compatible with the .NET ecosystem, expanding the use of DDS to new domains within and beyond the Industrial IoT.


NEEDHAM, Mass. (PRWEB)

Today, international technology standards organization Object Management Group® (OMG®) has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for a new C# API for the Data Distribution Standard (DDS). OMG issued the DDS C# API RFP because DDS users and vendors alike need an interoperable API for the C# programming language. The new API will enable the deployment of new, vendor-neutral applications in a variety of industries.

Data Distribution Service (DDS™) is an OMG middleware protocol and API standard for data-centric connectivity that is widely used in business and mission-critical Internet of Things (IoT) applications because of its low latency, high reliability and scalability. The DDS specification uses a model-driven approach and relies upon APIs to map applications to specific programming languages, such as Java and C++.

“The use of standard frameworks and ecosystems is crucial in the development of next-generation industrial IoT systems. DDS provides a set of standard APIs that enable users to develop portable vendor-independent applications using their programming language of choice,” said RFP author Fernando Garcia Aranda, Principal Software Engineer at Real-Time Innovations (RTI). “In this RFP, we aim to define a standard C# API for DDS. We believe this new API will facilitate the development of a new array of DDS applications that are compatible with the .NET ecosystem, expanding the use of DDS to new domains within and beyond the Industrial IoT.”

The DDS C# API Request for Proposal is open to the public. The deadline to respond with a letter of intent, that a company is interested in responding, is March 19, 2020. Responses are due by May 18, 2020. The full request and details on how to respond can be found in the RFP.

New LD-250 mobile robot from Omron moves payloads up to 250kg and helps expand the flexibility of autonomous materials transport

Leave a comment


As the newest addition to Omron’s mobile robot family, LD-250 helps manufacturers construct a more flexible and optimized autonomous material transport system.

Known as the LD-250, this new robot carries payloads of up to 250kg and has a sturdy structure that is optimized for items like transmission blocks, automotive seats and voluminous packaging materials that are bulky as well as heavy.


HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. (PRWEB)

Global automation solutions pioneer Omron Automation Americas recently launched its latest addition to the LD Series of autonomous mobile robots. Known as the LD-250, this new robot carries payloads of up to 250kg and has a sturdy structure that is optimized for items like transmission blocks, automotive seats and voluminous packaging materials that are bulky as well as heavy.

Together with Omron’s powerful Fleet Manager, the LD-250 helps manufacturers construct a more flexible and optimized autonomous material transport system, as Fleet Manager now enables the control of multiple mobile robots with different payloads through a single system. The system can manage traffic, battery charging requirements and vehicle navigation for a diverse fleet of up to 100 robots.

Factories worldwide are seeking better ways to increase the productivity and profitability of high-mix production amid a decreasing workforce in industrialized nations and rising labor costs in emerging countries. The Omron LD mobile robots can avoid people and obstacles while automatically calculating the best routes to transport material, thereby optimizing materials transport requirements while reducing labor requirements.

With the addition of the LD-250 to the LD series, customers in a wide variety of industries – including automotive, electronics and food and beverage – are no longer required to establish a fixed material transport equipment. Instead, they can achieve a system that can flexibly handle changing market demands while liberating workers from the dull and tiring work of material transport.

In addition to its extra-sturdy structure that carries unwieldy items traditionally transported in human-operated carts, the LD-250 is also highly customizable with special conveyor tops, courier systems and adaptive material handling mechanics. It also takes advantage of several Omron technologies that improve performance, such as the High Accuracy Positioning System (HAPS), side lasers and the Acuity vision localization technology.

The integration of the LD-250 with the Omron TM Series Collaborative Robot will also open up a new market for heavy-duty mobile manipulators that can handle manipulation tasks along with material transport. Industry professionals interested in learning more about the LD-250’s capabilities are encouraged to visit the mobile robot product page on Omron’s website.

About Omron Automation

Omron Automation is an industrial automation partner that creates, sells and services fully integrated automation solutions that include sensing, control, safety, vision, motion, robotics and more. Established in 1933 and currently headed by President Yoshihito Yamada, Omron’s 36,000 employees help businesses solve problems with creativity in more than 110 countries.

They can change the levels of deductibles, what options and add-ons they purchase, additional coverage and so on. The ability to customize the insurance quotes will help drivers to find insurance policies that they can afford with their budgets.

  • Online quotes are free. Comparing online quotes doesn’t cost anything and drivers can compare as many quotes as they like in order to find the best insurance deals for them. In fact, some insurance companies will offer a small discount to those drivers that obtained quotes from them and then they decided to purchase insurance.

“With Zaloni, sophisticated enterprises can achieve business and analytics success while providing the controls and transparency needed across the ever-increasing size and complexity of today’s data challenges.” – Susan Cook, CEO Zaloni


RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. (PRWEB)

Zaloni, today announced the availability of the Zaloni Data Platform in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, an online store providing applications and services for use on Azure. Zaloni customers can now take advantage of the productive and trusted Azure cloud platform, with streamlined deployment and management.

Zaloni offers the leading end-to-end data management software for accelerating analytics value by improving every step of the data operations supply chain. We enable enterprises to realize their data’s untapped potential through an extensible platform that catalogs, controls and provides self-service consumption across on-premises and cloud data silos.

“Most of our customers are making the move to cloud, and many are choosing Azure as their preferred cloud platform because of the cost-effective data storage and processing,” said Susan Cook, CEO of Zaloni. “With Zaloni, sophisticated enterprises can achieve business and analytics success while providing the controls and transparency needed across the ever-increasing size and complexity of today’s data challenges.”

Zaloni enables hybrid data environments within the broader Microsoft ecosystem by seamlessly integrating with Azure and Microsoft SQL Server to provide best-in-class data management and governance with the flexibility to keep data on-premises and in the cloud.

Zaloni’s availability in Azure Marketplace makes it easy for companies to deploy, operate, and scale their data environments with pay-as-you-go pricing and provides:


  • An intuitive UI that makes it easy to ingest, manage, and govern data across environments.

  • An active data catalog with self-service preparation allows users to shop and provision relevant and trusted data.

“Through Microsoft Azure Marketplace, customers around the world can easily find, buy, and deploy partner solutions they can trust, all certified and optimized to run on Azure,” said Sajan Parihar, Senior Director, Microsoft Azure Platform at Microsoft Corp. “We’re happy to welcome Zaloni to the growing Azure Marketplace ecosystem.”

Zaloni Data Platform v5.2 Release Accelerates Data Value with New Augmented Catalog and Consumption Features

In addition to availability in the Azure Marketplace, Zaloni has announced the latest release of the Zaloni Data Platform, v5.2. The release expands upon data cataloging and consumption features, making it easy for data analysts, scientists and business users to access, prepare and provision data in a secure and governed way.

Data Ingestion Directly From the Data Catalog

Previously, Zaloni expanded the data catalog beyond the data lake to include data from relational data sources in both cloud and on-premises environments, helping companies conquer their data sprawl challenges. In v5.2, users can easily catalog data from any relational database and then ingest that data into a data lake (on-premises or cloud) in just a few simple clicks. This feature allows users to catalog data wherever it resides and then take action upon the data directly within the data catalog, reducing reliance on IT. In addition to ingestion, users can provision the data to a target destination of their choice. Once data is ingested, an entity is created and lineage is tracked, providing traceability and improving data confidence.

Governed Data Provisioning and Augmented Data Catalog

Zaloni’s unique approach for end consumers to provision trusted data in an intuitive shopping cart interface is a critical capability of its augmented data catalog. In v5.2, Zaloni has expanded data provisioning to include data and custom analytics sandboxes. The analytics sandboxes include the data, tools, and an environment in which data can be analyzed, helping data analysts spend more time on analytics and less time on finding, preparing and provisioning data. Additionally, Zaloni added the ability for companies to define a “request-approval” workflow in the provisioning process where data consumers are required to request permission from data owners before provisioning the data. This feature provides an added layer of control and governance and easily integrates with ticketing systems, such as ServiceNow.

About Zaloni

At Zaloni, we believe in the unrealized power of data. Our data management software provides an augmented catalog that enables self-service data enrichment and consumption. We work with the world’s leading companies, delivering exceptional data governance built on an extensible, machine-learning platform that both improves and safeguards enterprises’ data assets.
