DJI, a leader in the drone industry, has been winning at CES with a product that is meant for the ground. It’s Osmo Pocket handheld camera with stabilized gimbal allows users to capture flawless footage on the move.

Historically, farming has been slow to implement available technology, Now that is all changing, and drones are at the forefront.

Automation is being implemented in almost every industry, and now ping pong can be added to the list. Omron’s AI-enabled table tennis tutor was one of the most impressive pieces of technology on the show floor. ‘Forpheus’ has been turning attendees’ heads with its natural reflexes and elite use of machine learning.

Grid OEMs are racing to build in the U.S., but transformers still take 2–3 years

Grid OEMs are racing to build in the U.S., but transformers still take 2–3 years

Grid equipment makers are expanding U.S. production for transformers, breakers, and high-voltage cable. POWER Magazine still puts power transformer and GSU lead times at 2–3 years. That keeps utility schedules exposed.

  • 01Transformer procurement is now a schedule risk, not a line item: POWER Magazine pegs power transformer and GSU lead times at 2–3 years, long enough to dictate substation cutovers and interconnection dates.
  • 02Big batteries are moving into “grid equipment” territory: ASCE’s profile of Plus Power’s Kapolei project underscores how storage can deliver large, fast-acting capacity, which can affect how operators specify protection, controls, and service contracts.

Lead time is the new design constraint for transformers, breakers, and HV cable

Lead time is the new design constraint for transformers, breakers, and HV cable

Grid equipment manufacturers are expanding U.S. production of transformers, circuit breakers, and high-voltage cable, according to Renewable Energy World. Delivery timelines are now part of engineering and procurement planning. For utility operators, EPCs, and developers, factory capacity and acceptance testing can set the critical path.

  • 01Delivery is now an engineering variable, procurement lead time can set in-service dates for substations and interconnections.
  • 02Treat transformer and switchgear procurement as early engineering work: capacity, test plans, and change control belong in the bid package and schedule model.

Europe’s diesel premium just broke $100 a barrel, and logistics budgets will feel it first

Europe’s diesel premium just broke $100 a barrel, and logistics budgets will feel it first

Europe’s diesel crack spread rose above $100 a barrel for the first time, the Financial Times reported. Logistics budgets will feel it first. Fleet and facilities operators should expect pressure on fuel surcharges, backup power planning, and contract terms.

  • 01A $100-plus diesel crack spread is a procurement signal, refiners are being paid for diesel scarcity, not crude cost, so index clauses tied only to Brent can miss the real pain.
  • 02Low EU gas inventories raise the odds of fuel-switching into distillates during peaks, which can tighten diesel supply right when trucking and backup generators compete for the same barrel.
