Solitron Devices, West Palm Beach, FL, is introducing the SD11911 and SD11912 1200V Silicon Carbide (SiC) Power Modules. SIC provides excellent switching performance with minimal variation versus temperature. Higher efficiency levels than silicon, achieved due to significantly lower energy loss and reverse charge, result in more switching power and less energy required in the switch-on and switch-off phases. Combined with high switching frequencies this translates to smaller magnetics, significantly reducing system weight and size.

Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Vernon Hills, IL, announces its MELSOFT MaiLab software, which uses their Maisart intelligent technology to enable companies to easily analyze and diagnose factory data. Through analysis of past manufacturing data, the software makes sophisticated data decisions. Single-tool capability enables both offline analysis and real-time diagnostics, with direct feedback to the production site. It has an integrated open concept, such as the Python programming language or web-based environment.

Xact Metal™, State college, PA, has introduced a software solution, Smart Layer™, for automated visual monitoring and real-time analysis of their laser metal powder-bed printers. It conducts a layer-by-layer analysis using computer vision algorithms and convolutional neural networks, then provides anomaly detection in real time. It immediately notifies the operator upon issue detection in time to prevent print failures. This is critical, since part anomalies can occur during the printing process that are difficult for the operator to detect manually.
