Barry Turner, Technical Business Development Manager at Red Lion Controls, joined host Tyler Kern for a live discussion on secure remote access and the importance of companies developing solutions that ensure a higher frequency of cyberattacks doesn’t end in disaster.

“Red Lion has been doing remote access for quite some time,” Turner said. “We just came out with our new remote access platform. It’s an all-encompassing platform that allows our customers to build machines and industrial products and send those products out into the field. And, if they need to get access to those assets wherever they may land, to do troubleshooting, to do upgrades or be able to work with those pieces of equipment as if they were local, our platform makes that simple, easy and secure.”

Red Lion uses a defense-in-depth, layered approach to security. It’s a combination of things put together to make it more and more difficult for would-be hackers to get into an asset.

Today, it makes perfect sense to have access to remote assets and devices for various needs, from service and maintenance to software updates. But that access must be secure. Recent cyberattacks like the Colonial Pipeline attack illustrate the importance of such security measures.

With solutions like the ones provided by Red Lion Controls, obtaining a high level of security is easy.

Aligned plans Ohio AI campus next to retired Conesville power plant, with first capacity targeted mid-2026

Aligned plans Ohio AI campus next to retired Conesville power plant, with first capacity targeted mid-2026

Aligned Data Centers plans a 197-acre, multi-building AI data center campus in Ohio’s Conesville Industrial Park, adjacent to the former AEP Conesville Power Plant. GlobeNewswire says initial capacity is targeted for mid-2026 and that the first data center has a foundational customer.

  • 01GlobeNewswire says Aligned is targeting initial capacity delivery in mid-2026 for the Conesville campus.
  • 02The Conesville siting, next to the retired AEP Conesville Power Plant, is a concrete example of an AI campus placed on a power-adjacent brownfield industrial parcel.

A Micro LED chipmaker just raised nearly 100 million RMB, and lighting specs are getting stricter

A Micro LED chipmaker just raised nearly 100 million RMB, and lighting specs are getting stricter

VIJO (Suzhou) Optoelectronics Technology completed a financing round of nearly 100 million RMB to scale Micro LED optical chip production, according to LEDinside. In parallel, commercial lighting discussions are shifting from LED lifespan to intelligent drivers and smart control integration, as described in a sponsored Electronic Design QuickChat featuring Jameco Electronics and Mean Well USA. A Design World teardown of five 60 W-equivalent LED bulbs shows why operators can’t treat “LED replacement lamps” as interchangeable, with big differences in heat sinking, wiring, and driver topology that directly affect lumen maintenance, dimming, and serviceability.

  • 01Micro LED capacity is being financed now, which matters most for operators writing multi-year display and specialty lighting roadmaps, where qualified supply can become the schedule.
  • 02The teardown signal to carry into procurement is simple: two bulbs can share the same “60 W-equivalent” label while hiding completely different thermal and driver designs, and those differences are what drive field performance.
  • 03Controls and drivers are becoming the spec, not the chip. For projects that must integrate sensors or wireless controls, driver feature sets and thermal derating behavior belong in the submittal checklist.

Construction robots are starting to roll out like software, and Caterpillar knows the drill

Caterpillar is applying lessons from autonomous mining deployments to AI-driven construction and jobsite equipment. Meanwhile, Gravis Robotics has raised a $200 million Series A from SoftBank to scale autonomous heavy machinery globally.

  • 01Caterpillar is applying learnings from autonomous mining to its AI deployments in construction sites, quarries, and jobsites.
  • 02Gravis raised $200 million to advance its construction robotics innovations.
  • 03Defense procurement data shows LEO satellite communications like Starshield are being purchased at scale for distributed operations, illustrating why connectivity design matters for remote autonomy programs.
