Peripherals such as keyboards, mice, scanners, printers and displays play a critical role in everyday computing. They significantly affect the usability, performance and functionality of computer systems. Current trends in peripheral design reflect user needs, the growth of technology, and the desire for more efficient and intuitive operation. In this article, we will examine several key trends that are driving current trends in peripheral design.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Integration

Artificial intelligence is finding increasing application in peripherals. Intelligent algorithms can help optimize processes by, for example, improving speech and gesture recognition accuracy, adapting keyboard layouts to user habits, and providing personalized recommendations based on behavioral analysis.

Wireless technologies

Wireless-related peripherals are becoming increasingly popular. Wireless keyboards and mice provide convenience, reduce wire tangling, and allow you to move freely in your workspace.

Ergonomics and comfort

Modern peripherals emphasize ergonomics, design, and user comfort. This includes creating ergonomic keyboards that are comfortable to use and do not cause strain, as well as mice with a variety of shapes that better fit different hands.

Multi-mode devices

Modern peripherals often have multi-mode functionality. For example, some keyboards can switch between wired and wireless modes, and displays can support different color modes for different types of tasks.

Attention is being paid to environmental sustainability

Today’s peripheral manufacturers are increasingly committed to reducing their environmental impact. This can include the use of eco-friendly materials, efficient power consumption, and end-of-life recycling options.

Current trends in peripheral design epitomize today’s needs and technological capabilities. The combination of smart solutions, wireless technology, usability and environmental concerns make today’s peripherals more functional, convenient and relevant to the needs of the modern user.

In the world of construction, telecommunications and industrial processes, the right installation equipment plays a crucial role. These tools not only determine the quality and accuracy of the installation, but also have a significant impact on productivity, safety and, often, even the cost-effectiveness of projects. In this article we will look at the variety of modern installation equipment and describe the latest trends in this field.

Precise measurement – precise results

Measuring tools are an integral part of assembly equipment. Laser levels, rangefinders, geodetic devices provide high accuracy when arranging and aligning elements. Precise measurement allows to avoid inaccuracies and errors in the assembly process, which is especially important when working with large structures.

Ergonomic power tools – for faster processes

Modern assembly work is unthinkable without power tools. Cordless drills, jackhammers, wrenches and screwdrivers are just a few examples of efficient tools that speed up the assembly process and make it possible to handle large quantities of work.

Mounting fasteners – reliability and safety

Choosing quality mounting fasteners is a fundamental aspect of the installation process. Screws, anchors, rivets and other fasteners must ensure a secure connection of the structure. The precise selection of fasteners ensures the longevity and safety of the assembled structure.

Trends in assembly equipment

Current trends in assembly equipment include integration with digitalization technologies. This includes devices with digital displays for easier setup and control, as well as compatibility with software for monitoring and analyzing assembly processes.

The right installation equipment is essential to successful projects. Modern tools ensure precision, speed, safety and reliability during installation work. The rapid development of technology allows us to expect even more innovative and efficient solutions in the future, which will make installation processes more comfortable and productive.

The use of tablets is gaining popularity every year in various industrial sectors. Devices with simple applications are replacing aging handheld personal computers. Modern ruggedized tablets on the market support Windows or Android operating system (OS) by default. The following article will focus on tablets based on the open-source Android OS. It allows integrators, who use tablets as a hardware platform, to create specialized solutions, tailored to meet even specific technical requirements. Thanks to the openness of the operating system, you can build your own distribution and disable unnecessary or prohibited features/services.

A consumer-grade operating system may seem unreliable for demanding tasks, but Android has made a good evolutionary leap in terms of security of data storage and transmission (using encryption).

Getac ZX70 secure tablet

The first model of the review, the ZX70 tablet, is an innovative device running OC Android from Getac (Taiwan). It is a redesigned, updated and improved version of the one present on the market since 2012. Getac Z710, which has proven itself among Android tablets, but in five years of existence has already become obsolete.

What makes the Getac ZX70 different from its predecessor? It’s a product with better performance, longer battery life, more RAM and memory, faster communication interfaces, high-resolution cameras, an updated version of Android, and more system expansion options.

The image quality of the 7″ tablet is provided by a display based on the same IPS technology with a resolution of 1280?720 pixels and a density of 210 pixels per inch. In this case, the level of brightness Getac ZX70 increased by a third compared to its predecessor and is 580 cd/m2.

The touch screen is as durable and optically transparent as Getac’s other models, thanks to the use of Getac’s patented LumiBond 2.0 technology, which combines light-absorbing ambient light filters, advanced capacitive touch panels, protective ultra-durable Gorilla Glass and optically transparent adhesive polymers. Press sensitivity can be optimized by software. In addition to the usual manual input, there are modes for working in the rain, with non-specialized gloves or with a stylus. On the back of the device, there are lugs on the left and right side of the device for mounting straps, holders and stand accessories – much more convenient than in the previous tablet.

As for the computing part, all modifications of the tablet use one processor – Intel Atom X5-Z8350, running at 1.44 GHz. This is a quad-core CPU, manufactured on 14nm Cherry Trail technology from Intel. The processor has integrated graphics of the eighth generation. The installed storage is 32GB, the memory type is eMMC, and there is also a microSD card slot. RAM is 2 GB by default and can be optionally expanded to 4 GB.

Available communication capabilities include Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/g/n, Bluetooth v4.0. Optional 4G LTE modem, GPS geolocation module, barcode scanner with laser or LED backlight, and UHF RFID/NFC tag readers. It’s worth noting that none of these options are mutually exclusive, except for the UHF RFID reader, which cannot be combined with a 4G LTE modem or barcode reader.

The tablet has an IP67 shell rating, which prevents water from penetrating inside the device during short-term immersion to a depth of up to 1 meter. The temperature operating range of ZX70 is -21…+60 °C, like most Getac models. It is also worth noting that the line includes modifications capable of operating in hazardous areas of class 2/22 according to ATEX standards, in which the presence of explosive gas mixture is unlikely in normal operating conditions, and if it occurs, it is rare and lasts for a short time.

The Getac ZX70 runs Android 6.0 and is the budget flagship among Getac’s other models. This is due in part to the fact that Android currently dominates the mobile OS market due to the openness of the platform, ease of writing and integrating software, and low cost of ownership. Since version 5.x, Android developers have added support for 64-bit processors, optimized algorithms for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless networks and, most importantly for industrial, corporate and government users, significantly improved the software security of the device, along with the security of storage and transmission of processed data.
