The project is the first industrial-scale application of the RDH technology to replace fossil fuel based heating in high temperature industrial processes using electricity. ABB will provide the electrification solutions for the deployment, such as the motors, drives, switchgear and transformers, as well as a distributed control system (DCS) to assist with the control of the heating technology.

Siemens Strengthens AI Chip Design Portfolio with Precision Innovations Acquisition

Rahul v — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 04:36:38 +0000

The increased complexity of semiconductor designs has driven chip makers to seek out AI to speed up the design process and make it more efficient. To take part in this trend, Siemens has signed a contract with electronic design automation (EDA) software provider for system-on-chip (SoC) design exploration, Precision Innovations, based in the USA. The acquisition will complement Siemens’ EDA portfolio with a set of tools that allows semiconductor teams to assess chip architectures and design trade-offs earlier in the development process.

Early detection of potential problems helps engineers maximize power consumption, performance and silicon area while minimizing expensive redesign efforts and time to production.

Designed around an open-source OpenROAD framework, Precision Innovations’ software lets designers try different chip configurations with AI analysis. It is believed the technology will integrate with Siemens’ current digital design and verification technology and provide a seamless workflow across chip design, implementation and lifecycle management.

Roadmap to Strengthen India’s Pharmaceutical Cold Chain Takes Shape

Rahul v — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 07:50:09 +0000

Refrigerating medicines is not enough to maintain their quality and safety: it takes a coordinated cold chain ecosystem with well-trained personnel, standardized processes, and better compliance to achieve this goal. The National Accreditation Board for Cold Chain Management (NAB-CCM) just released a white paper that offers a clear blue path to enhancing the processes of cold chain and distribution throughout India’s pharmaceutical supply chain.

The report identifies a number of ongoing issues that are impacting on the sector. They encompass: inconsistencies in storing as observed from various actors in the supply chain; lack of awareness about storage conditions among front line handlers and pharmacists; lack of harmonized competence assessment and qualification of logistics and service providers; and inconsistent monitoring of the temperature excursion. It also identifies shortcomings in the retail and hospital level storage control and the absence of a common certification system to assure product integrity from retail to hospital.

To help resolve these problems, the white paper outlines a four-stage implementation path.
