In the past few years we have started to see more and more posts and adverts about glasses and head-mounted displays, augmented reality (AR), mobile computing and many more. What do all these digital trends mean? How can we catch up with all these novelties? For most people it is still quite an abstract and exotic technology from the Hollywood movies. Different Industries However, some businesses are actively implementing this seemingly ‘sci-fi’ technology into their marketing. Thus, we are seeing animated holograms, interactive displays in shops and virtual 3D models of new houses with furniture. Industries from retail to aviation are using computer-generated objects in a real environment. Education Moreover, schools and universities started incorporating gaming elements into their classes. Augmented Reality (AR) is great solution to turn a boring lecture into exceptional experiences via 3D AR modelling. Furthermore, teachers even managed to use AR in physical education. Students...

For an industrial UPS to do its job well in a harsh transportation environment – meaning provide power protection to various applications – then it must be able to stand up to the rigors that an environment presents, including vibration, dust and chemicals. Not all UPSs are built that way. Most live in a climate-controlled environment such as a data center or office building, safe from any elements that may do it harm. But UPSs that have to function in an airport, rail system, seaport or road tunnel are a different breed, built with special features that enable them to withstand the day-to-day realities of these environments. These types of applications require a unique power protection solution to keep transportation operations running, as well as ensuring passenger safety. Power Protection that Withstands Tremors  One element is the ability to deal with serious vibration. Consider a railway or subway system, which has numerous critical systems that need UPS protect...

In the commercial and industrial transportation sector, reliability in terms of power is critical. Whether it’s an airport, rail system, seaport or a road tunnel, all have critical power needs around requirements including safety that are driving the need for modern, industrial UPS systems. Critical Applications Demand Industrial UPSs Consider railway and subway systems. To ensure passenger safety and security, systems including signaling and telecommunications, passenger access control, emergency lighting, parking, CCTV cameras, fire alarms and medical aid stations must be “always on.” It’s similar at airports, where many of the same critical applications apply, along with lighting for the runways, airfields and terminals; air traffic control systems; passenger boarding systems; ticketing and payment systems; baggage handling and screening systems, and more. As transportation companies look to digitize and integrate their various systems, it’s all the more important that the...
