Neousys Technology Launches PCIe-PoE312M, A World-First Server-grade Gigabit 802.3at PoE+ Card with M12 x-coded Connectors

Leave a comment


PCIe-PoE312M


TAIPEI, Taiwan (PRWEB)

Different from the traditional Ethernet PoE+ card, it uses M12 connectors to replace the shortcomings of the RJ45 connectors that were prone to loosen in the past. And it comes with strengthened cables that are suitable for shock, vibration and harsh application environments, such as in railway/ in-vehicle Ethernet communication, rugged surveillance and machine vision, etc.

To make PCIe-PoE312M widely compatible and applicable in various IPCs or BOX PCs, the card features a patent-pending double-deck design that allows the adaptation of the M12 connectors on standard PCIe slot opening on chassis. There is also a layer of insulation mylar on the deck surface to avoid contact or interference. As far as patents go, it also has unique housing design where the connectors utilize a CNC-milled aluminum block as its connector housing screw that can also reinforce the faceplate to absorb force applied on the cable/ connector. It offers an extremely rugged and reliable cable connection for Ethernet or PoE+ devices.

“This is an unprecedented PCIe-PoE+ Card with M12 connectors. PCIe-PoE312M utilizes the reliability and robustness of the M12 connector and its strengthened cable connectivity to ensure that the connector will always be tightly secured when used in harsh environments. The card design is universally compatible so it can be applied to various off-the-shelf IPC and box PCs. One can also install the card without changing the existing platform or customized any mechanisms, thereby achieving cost-saving effects.” said Ariel Chen, product manager of Neousys Technology. Adhering to the principle of solving problems for customers and designing products that meet market needs, we expect PCIe-PoE312M to be popular and widely used in railway/ in-vehicle, rugged surveillance and machine vision applications, etc.

About Neousys Technology

Established in 2010, Neousys Technology designs and manufactures industrial grade rugged embedded modules and systems with core expertise ranging from embedded computing to data acquisition and processing.

How MES Quickly Redesigns Tooling to Avoid Costly Downtime

Leave a comment


After a thorough investigation, the team came up with a modified two-piece pin design as the most durable and reliable option to save from a costly shutdown in production.


COLUMBUS, Ohio (PRWEB)

BACKGROUND

The key to a successful die casting is an excellent tool design. One of the hardest components to design and maintain for good tool life is a core pin. A “core” is the separate and replaceable part of the die that forms an internal feature of the casting. Core pins come in all shapes and sizes, but the most commonly used shape design is circular. Core pins may be fixed to the die cavity or to a slide, actuated through the mechanical opening/closing of the die, or by hydraulic cylinder or other means. While core pins are the backbone of good tool design, when not properly designed, it can result in severe downtime and inefficient productivity.

Challenge

On a high-volume die casting project for heat sinks, there were 24 core pins. After the PPAP process, there was an unexpected increase in downtime (every 1000-2000 shots) along with core pins breaking. The team in charge of the project, began their analysis.

Root Cause Analysis

An MES quality engineer, along with the tooling engineer and supplier team, evaluated various reasons using a fishbone diagram. There were three critical reasons identified:

1.) Guide show wear out in the machine

2.) Guide pillar/guide bush wear out in the die

3.) Weaker core pin in the die

Problem Solving:

After two days of examinations, the team evaluated and ruled out #1 (guide show wear out in the machine) and #2 (guide pillar/guide bush wear out in the die). They discovered that the core pin design to be the biggest reason for the breakage and downtime. The current core pin was determined to be too long for the diameter required (Figure A) for the heat sink castings.

After a thorough investigation, the team came up with a modified two-piece pin design as the most durable and reliable option. The original one-piece core pin design proved to be ineffective. There was no way to have one-piece design due to the length to diameter ratio and part features that limited options. The two-pin designed was fabricated with exceptional precision, which prevented flashing around the area.

OUTCOME

The decision was made to change to the new two-piece pin design, and run another production lot. Instead of pins breaking at the 1000-2000 unit run, the two-piece pin design lasted for over 10,000 shots. All 26 pins were changed to the two-piece design.

MES Engineers around the world work closely with suppliers to develop robust tooling to make sure suppliers can make production parts of acceptable quality and capacity. Good tooling design is at the heart of any quality die casting. MES has specialized tooling engineers to help and ensure proper tools are built to meet our customer’s quality.

PhoneMyBot: telephone access for chatbots

PhoneMyBot, a cloud solution to quickly and easily provide voice and telephony access to chatbots, is live and ready for integration, at www.phonemybot.com.


SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)

Interactive Media (https://www.imnet.com), a global developer of telecommunications software, Conversational AI and customer experience applications, is announcing the immediate availability of PhoneMyBot, a cloud solution to provide voice and telephony access to chatbots everywhere.

Chatbots are revolutionizing the customer experience, greeting customers on web pages, social networks and messaging channels. The best chatbots provide a first class experience as they field most questions and solve many issues quickly and gracefully in self-service mode – without human intervention.

However, more than 50% of the interactions are voice-based, coming in from the telephone network. For the telephone channel, in many cases the customer experience is stale and outdated, relying on legacy IVR systems and touch-tone technology: press 1 for this, press 2 for that: a far cry from the parallel chatbot experience that the same company may deploy for its digital channels.

PhoneMyBot is designed to bring phone interactions to par with the digital ones, quickly and effortlessly. PhoneMyBot integrates with chatbot platforms to transform bots into omnichannel Virtual Agents, able to use the same knowledge and conversational AI engine to power all channels. When users call in, they are greeted by the voice of your bot and can have a natural conversation with it to qualify and solve their needs, just as they would on a chat channel.

PhoneMyBot takes care of the telephony, the transcription of caller’s utterances and the rendering of the bot speech towards the caller, in any language. The conversation is piloted by the bot through its easy-to-integrate API. PhoneMyBot also connects with the contact center in the back-end to forward conversations that were not solved in self-service mode to a human agent, complete of context information.

“With PhoneMyBot, Interactive Media offers the first solution on the market providing a fast, inexpensive and effective way to add the telephone channel to chatbots everywhere,” said Livio Pugliese, CEO, Interactive Media North America. “We are excited to help organizations quickly expand self-service options to voice channels in these uncertain times, when safe and meaningful communications are paramount”.

PhoneMyBot is live in the cloud at https://www.phonemybot.com and also offered in integration with Inbenta, a leader in chatbot development platforms (https://www.inbenta.com). “The integration with PhoneMyBot will help expand Inbenta’s reach into the voice-enabled, conversational intelligent applications, which are in increasingly high demand by large enterprises”, said Jordi Torras, CEO of Inbenta.

Please visit https://www.phonemybot.com to create a free trial account and start using the telephone to talk with your chatbot now.

Interactive Media is a global developer of telecommunications software, Conversational AI systems and customer experience applications. Founded in 1996 in Italy and a leading vendor of Conversational AI voice-based Virtual Agents, the company has more than 20 years of experience working with voice and data solutions for better customer interactions.
