How FPGAs boost edge computing with low latency and efficiency

When GPU racks start pulling 132 kW, with designs on the way for 1 MW and even 1.5 MW, the old assumptions about ‘thermal ride’ no longer hold. Cooling can’t wait for generators to spin up. Which means UPS systems can’t just protect IT loads anymore. They must keep cooling alive too. That’s what we explore in our latest trend report, charting the surge in AI demand and runaway rack densities which are rewriting the rules of power protection. We spoke with experts from Kohler Uninterruptible Power UK, Schneider Electric, Verne, Kao Data, LiquidStack, Advanced Liquid Cooling Technologies, i3 Solutions Group, Part of Ramboll and more to map how cooling and UPS are becoming inseparable.

Advanced Energy has supercharged its power conversion portfolio with the launch of two high-performance Artesyn NDQ quarter-brick modules—NDQ1300 (1300W) and NDQ1600 (1600W). Tailored for demanding applications like AI servers, high-performance computing, networking, robotics, and test equipment, these modules deliver peak efficiencies of up to 98% while converting 48V to highly stable 12V outputs #PowerConversion #DCtoDC #NIBC #QuarterBrick #ICT #AIInfrastructure #PowerEfficiency #IndustrialPower #HighPerformanceComputing #powerelectronics #powermanagment #powersemiconductor https://lnkd.in/g3tpD5t4

Accelerating EMT Adoption: Quark Power’s Response to NERC’s Long-Term Actions In June 2025, NERC’s white paper “EMT Modeling Adoption: An Industry Survey” underscored the urgent need for broader EMT adoption to address the challenges of increasing IBR, HVDC, and power electronics integration. The report identified four long-term actions: ✅ High-Performance Computing (HPC) ✅ Automation & Interoperability ✅ Compatibility Standards ✅ Model/Data Sharing At Quark Power, our Quark Power Transient Simulator (QPTS) was purpose-built to tackle these needs: ✅ HPC-ready: Auto-parallelization, scalable to 140k+ buses, and the first commercial large-time-step EMT engine. ✅ Automation & interoperability: Full workflow automation, seamless integration of OEM-provided DLL controls, support for WECC generic models, and multi-timestep simulation for efficiency and detail. ✅ Compatibility: Built-in conversion of .raw and .dyr files from existing data sources ensures an easier transition to EMT studies. The result: faster, scalable, and more interoperable EMT studies—directly addressing NERC’s long-term recommendations. We welcome collaboration with utilities, ISOs, OEMs, and consultants to accelerate EMT adoption across the industry.

Cooling without limits 🖥️ As data centers evolve to support more, cooling strategies are expanding too. GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) generate more heat, driving demand for innovative solutions. ABB’s electrical control systems support both air and liquid cooling systems. From powering fans and pumps to enabling smart monitoring. 🔗 Explore our full Cooling Control Portfolio: https://bit.ly/45D8Fkb #DataCenterCooling #LiquidCooling #HVAC

How can a 10 GHz Power Divider revolutionize high-frequency signal processing? In the realm of high-frequency engineering, the demand for more efficient and compact solutions is ever-present. Traditional power dividers often fall short due to their size and performance limitations at higher frequencies. However, by utilizing novel techniques such as TMOs (Transverse Magnetic Openings) and advanced impedance matching, the 10 GHz Power Divider offers a breakthrough in signal splitting capabilities. Its ability to maintain a robust signal integrity while operating at such frequencies paves the way for enhanced application in modern wireless communication systems. Imagine a future where 5G and 6G networks can be fully optimized with minimal signal loss, transforming connectivity and communication standards as we know them. We invite you to share your insights and experiences with high-frequency dividers in your projects. How do you navigate the challenges posed by signal distribution in your designs? #HighFrequencyEngineering #PowerDividers #SignalProcessing #5GNetworks #WirelessInnovation

Industrial protocols often feel like another language to me. They come up in almost every conversation I have with controls engineers, yet I’ve mostly been able to nod along confidently and say: “Yes, the Cognex DataMan can handle that, TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP, Profinet, SLMP…” The exception? EtherCAT. Traditionally, making a Cognex camera speak EtherCAT has meant adding an Anybus gateway or similar device. Adding complexity, extra cost, and in my opinion a disjointed solution. However, This week, I’ve been hands-on with the Cognex DataMan 280 EtherCAT model. For the first time, I could plug directly into a Beckhoff PLC and communicate over EtherCAT without an external gateway. For my customer, that’s a genuine game-changer: simpler integration, fewer parts, and more efficiency. It’s got me wondering… 🔹 Are we seeing a shift in the UK towards EtherCAT? 🔹 Or will Profinet (Siemens) and Ethernet/IP (Allen-Bradley) continue to dominate the UK market? Either way, I’m impressed! and I’m also loving the rocket-esque flares of the triple port DataMan 280 EtherCAT! #Acrovision #IndustrialAutomation #ControlsEngineering #MachineVision #BarcodeReader #Cognex #DataMan280 #EtherCAT #Profinet #EthernetIP #SmartFactory

🔧 Smart Field Instruments: Intelligence Left on the Table? The installed base of smart field instruments is growing rapidly and now dominates most refinery setups. Yet, many of these smart I/Os are still connected via traditional 4–20 mA analog I/O cards. Why invest in intelligent devices and not unlock their full potential with HART or Foundation Fieldbus (FF) I/O cards? This raises a broader question: 📡 Are users more inclined to route diagnostics via HART multiplexers, or is there growing interest in converting legacy devices to wireless protocols? Is it legacy inertia, cost constraints, or integration complexity that’s holding back digital adoption? Would love to hear how others are navigating this—especially in brownfield upgrades or hybrid architectures. #SmartInstrumentation #ProcessAutomation #HARTProtocol #WirelessHART #FoundationFieldbus #RefineryTech #DigitalTransformation #IndustrialIoT #ControlSystems #FieldDevices #Multiplexers #LegacySystems
