York, PA October 13, 2020 – Red Lion, the exclusive North American partner for MB connect line GmbH, announces the launch of its Secure Remote Access Platform. This next-generation remote access solution meets the most demanding security requirements of modern industrial applications. Red Lion’s Secure Remote Access Platform centralizes the management of routers, allowing customers to quickly respond to and act on their most crucial assets from anywhere, at any time. The ability to remotely access, monitor and manage diverse equipment helps to lower operational costs and downtime by reducing site visits and dramatically improving response times.

To simplify deployment, Red Lion’s remote access routers offer Simply.Connect technology. This enables the setup of routers in under two minutes, facilitating small or large deployments using only a smartphone. Once configured, routers can be deployed anywhere, providing real-time, secure, and seamless connectivity to remote assets or sites.

The foundation of Red Lion’s remote access platform is RLConnect24, a remote service portal that provides a simple centralized site to monitor and manage deployed assets and users. RLConnect24 provides data visualization, geographic mapping, data logging, and alarms based on operational or system-generated data. The RLDialUp client software enables operators to securely connect their PC to remote assets for maintenance and configuration, just as if they were plugged into it locally.

Red Lion’s Secure Remote Access Routers are industrial-grade gateways that offer optional LAN, WAN, serial, USB, Wi-Fi or 4G LTE connectivity to ensure seamless integration with any industrial application. Red Lion also launched the RA10 compact industrial firewall, which provides OT-cybersecurity. This intelligent firewall can learn and self-configure to help secure older assets, avoid address conflicts, and/or logically isolate machines or groups of machines.

“As the industrial world rapidly shifted to the new normal of remote production operations due to the pandemic, demand for platforms that securely enables these remote production operation capabilities has never been stronger and more critical”, according to Craig Resnick, Vice President, ARC Advisory Group. “Red Lion’s Secure Industrial Remote Access Platform was designed to enable secure access in real-time from any location. ARC expects that this new normal of remote production operations will remain even after the pandemic, as the industry has recognized its benefits to maximizing productivity, key performance indicators, profitability, and most importantly, sustainability to overcome any future pandemic-like challenges.”

Stat-X potassium aerosol for CNC in-enclosure fire suppression

Stat-X potassium aerosol for CNC in-enclosure fire suppression

Modern Machine Shop describes Fireaway’s Stat-X as an electrically actuated, potassium-based aerosol generator mounted inside a CNC enclosure and triggered by a separate electronic sensor. A 2025 trade article describes the same two detection approaches—electronic point detection and heat-sensitive tubing—while widening the spec to include mist extraction, fire dampers and pressure relief. For shops running oil coolant, Schwarzenbach writes that many corporate insurance policies mandate installed and regularly maintained suppression.

  • 01A suppression system mounted inside a CNC enclosure costs a small percentage of the machine's price, per Modern Machine Shop, so the honest comparison is against rebuilding a burned machine, not against the option's sticker.
  • 02Detection inside a machine tool comes down to two methods, heat-rupturing pressurized tubing or electronic heat and flame sensors, and Modern Machine Shop described a version of each in its 2009 and 2011 articles; what 2025 guidance adds is mist extraction, fire dampers and pressure-relief flaps in the same specification.
  • 03For shops running CNC machines on oil coolant, many corporate insurers require suppression to be installed and maintained, which turns a purchasing option into a policy condition and a maintenance audit item.

Luxonis OAK 4 cameras run up to 52 TOPS of AI on board from $749

Luxonis OAK 4 cameras run up to 52 TOPS of AI on board from $749

Luxonis launched its OAK 4 edge AI cameras and Hub cloud platform in December 2025. Each runs 52 TOPS of inference on a Qualcomm QCS8550 with no host PC, cloud video stream or server, and prices start at $749. That puts vision compute on the camera itself.

  • 01The industrial PC beside the camera becomes optional: OAK 4 runs inference entirely on the device, so a vision cell's bill of materials shifts from camera plus host computer to camera plus a Hub subscription tier, one of which is free.
  • 02The 40X compute improvement Luxonis claims has no stated baseline in any of the coverage, so a buyer comparing OAK 4 against a prior OAK deployment should ask for the previous generation's TOPS figure before using the multiplier.
  • 03Snaps, the Hub feature that collects data at the edge to retrain models against drift, is the mechanism worth testing in a pilot; it is an announced capability, not yet a documented field result in the published reporting.

IoT sensor market forecast to grow 37.6% a year to $549 billion by 2035

IoT sensor market forecast to grow 37.6% a year to $549 billion by 2035

Global Market Insights projects the IoT sensor market will grow from about $24 billion in 2025 to $549 billion by 2035. That is a 37.6% annual rate, according to Smart Industry's report on the study. The bigger operational implication is data volume, not sensor cost.

  • 01Predictive maintenance is the one use case Global Market Insights ties to measurable outcomes, downtime and asset efficiency, which makes it the sensor line item most likely to survive a capital review.
  • 02GMI's stated base of about $24 billion in 2025 and its 37.6% growth rate give operators a near-term checkpoint to test against real quotes long before the 2035 endpoint.
  • 03Inertial sensors, meaning accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers, are widely used across consumer electronics, industrial systems, automotive platforms, wearables and drones, according to Smart Industry's summary of the GMI report.
