…operate,” explains Brian Penny, inventor of the algorithm and co-owner of Encrypted Sensors. “Any computer trying to break it would have to decide what is—and isn’t—reality.” Hardware-based APNs function independent of any software controls or operating systems. An attacker would have to physically gain control of the specific APN hardware that is set up for the network. Benefits of the encryption being on the FPGA chip include having control of the entire encryption environment. The encryption can run a lot faster, near real time, compared with other encryption systems, according to Encrypted Sensors. Sources: Press materials received from the company…

…the application-driven approach to 3D printing is likely to gain attention from the financial world.This is a clear trend in Asia where governments, which previously invested in technology development and 3D printing machine manufacturing, are looking instead at methodologies to stimulate 3D printing consultancy and co-creation. The objective is to widen the pool of industries using 3D printing, and thereby create a market and demand for products rather than supply for a non-existing market. 2. A rise in polymer materials for 3D printing It’s the plastic materials for 3D printing that have been preparing for substantial growth in 2019. Major…

…peak times, you can just add additional robots to gain more capacity.” The robot-based sortation system is quick to implement, says Serstad, with a system deployable in as little as six months. The relatively quick deployment time helps organizations that are under pressure to deploy new systems, says Serstad, while the smaller physical footprint of the raised platform should suit metro DCs where space costs are high. “Cost per square foot is a big factor for many fulfillment centers,” he says. “If you can save 30% to 40% on floor space versus a traditional system, that reduces costs, especially for…
