50 years Unix

How I used Unix to get things done “UNIX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity.” ~ Dennis Ritchie   Back in the days Dennis Ritchie – created the C programming language and, with long-time colleague Ken Thompson, the Unix operating system. Ken Thompson – an American pioneer of computer…

Industrial Process Improvement

Production optimization of interlinked machines   Baseline situation Measurement technology plays an important role in the increasing digitalization of industrial production. With the almost complete networking of plants and devices, a significantly higher degree of automation is achieved, accompanied by an increase in efficiency. In the manufacturing industry, this type of digitization is called “Industry…
