The Drivers and Benefits of Edge Computing

Mobile telecom networks and data networks are converging into a cloud computing architecture. To support needs today and tomorrow, computing power and storage is being inserted out on the network edge in order to lower data transport time and increase availability. Edge computing brings bandwidth-intensive content and latency-sensitive applications closer to the user or data source.

Remove the rope, remove limitations: MULTI by thyssenkrupp Elevator

thyssenkrupp Elevator’s new elevator solution “MULTI” harnesses the power of linear motor technology to move multiple cars in a single shaft, both vertically and horizontally. The company has re-imagined the elevator by removing the cables and equipping passenger cabins with linear motors. It is the world’s first elevator that can open up new options for the transportation of people and architectural design. MULTI can increase passenger throughput by 50% by enabling multiple cabins to travel safely up one shaft and down another in a single continuous loop, much like a circular shuttle.
