Schaeffler’s Smart Ecosystem 4.0 is a cloud-based hardware and software infrastructure that includes every stage of digital added value – from components equipped with sensors through to digital services. The flexible architecture of this system gives manufacturers and operators of machines and equipment a simple and application-oriented point of entry into a range of digital services that can be expanded at any time. The rolling bearing, its mechatronic derivatives, and the corresponding domain expertise provide the central source of information in this field.
Components equipped with sensors are central to the drive systems used in machines and equipment – they record data and are the fundamental “enablers” for these digital services. Schaeffler’s aim is to continuously transform conventional mechanical products and integrate them into the digital world. Bearings and guidance systems equipped with sensors have already been on the market for several years. At the 2017 Hannover Messe, Schaeffler will be presenting a rolling bearing system that is based on standard products and can be configured in a modular fashion with various different sensors, which allows virtually every desired bearing position to be equipped with sensors: The FAG VarioSense. This represents an important step towards a future in which not only complex systems but also simple assemblies and machines will have easy access to digitalization and the Internet of Things.
Schaeffler’s cloud-capable FAG SmartCheck, which for the first time allows a simple and flexible point of entry into the digitalization of machines and equipment based on vibration monitoring, will also be on display at the 2017 Hannover Messe. This latest version of the FAG SmartCheck uses an MQTT interface to provide a direct link to the Schaeffler cloud or to any other platform based on IBM technology. It is also possible to communicate with other cloud technologies via a Schaeffler gateway or alternative gateway solutions using an OPC/UA interface. The connection between the SmartCheck and the Schaeffler cloud is remarkably easy to make via smartphone, e.g. by scanning the relevant product’s QR code or using the free app.
This gives the customer direct access to services such as Schaeffler’s automated rolling bearing diagnosis, which is based on the vibration data that the FAG SmartCheck has gathered from rolling bearings as well as shafts and other rotating components. Depending on his or her contract, the customer receives access to the condition data, partially-automated recommended actions or, in the case of more complex machines, a connection to the Schaeffler Service Center, which provides specific and individual recommended actions.
In the next stage, it will also be possible to use the SmartCheck to record speed and torque and to classify these load data. In the cloud, the Bearinx rolling bearing calculation tool is then used to compare the real load data with the fundamental load data used during the design phase, and the rolling bearing’s remaining useful life is then calculated on this basis. These applications will be available for all products based on the SmartCheck technology, including railway technology applications like those presented by Schaeffler at the 2016 InnoTrans.
The rolling bearing is suited for gathering information, since it is located at the heart of the application’s flow of force and thus exposed to all of the loads that occur. Combining them with the domain expertise about rolling bearings in specific applications that is made available via the cloud allows this information to be used to control the process in a targeted manner in order to achieve the maximum degree of capacity utilization and optimize product quality. The prerequisite for this is a holistic and standardized infrastructure from the sensor through to the cloud, which Schaeffler now provides with its Smart Ecosystem 4.0.
Just like its name suggests, this timeless design will never date.

The life of clinician is never dull. Situations that might seem rare happen almost daily, and it’s nearly impossible to anticipate what may happen next. Still, the right preparation can go a long way. In many industries, there are methods to deal with such risky and costly situations.
One simulation type that’s growing in popularity is the digital twin, which is used to simulate complex real-world processes in a digital environment. It’s an innovative technology that’s being used by an increasing number of companies like IBM, Boeing, and Tesla.
It is not surprising that the global digital twin market is on the surge – it’s expected to increase by almost 40% annually by 2025. As such, digital twins have found their place in many industries, most notably in healthcare. They allow hospitals to fine-tune their operations and adapt the approach to patients.
What are digital twins, exactly?
Digital Twins are virtual equivalents of physical objects and processes. Besides the visual representation, these digital equivalents also include mathematical models and sensor data that helps provide updates in real time. However, a digital twin is only as good as the model and data used to create it.
Why do companies utilize digital twin technology? When implemented correctly, it allows users to manipulate a digital entity and learn something, without affecting anything in the physical space. More or less, digital twins cut the shortcomings of more traditional experiments: Risks are marginal, costs are low, and the required time window is short, as you can get feedback instantly.
Another advantage digital twins provide is an insight into the process – they can detect issues even before they arise. By coupling the digital twin with machine learning or artificial intelligence algorithms, users are able to track even the tiniest of processes that may otherwise remain hidden to the human eye.
A digital twin to fix a physical space
Healthcare is one of many industries where digital twins can easily and effectively be applied. Mater Private Hospital in Dublin was faced with snowballing patient numbers, increasing complexity, and out-of-date equipment. Such conditions resulted in overworked staff, unhappy patients, and, by relation, unhappy management. It was evident that changes were long overdue, and more specifically, that the radiology department needed a redesign.
However, there are endless possibilities when redesigning something. As a process, optimization is complex – there are many variables, boundaries, and objectives. Thus, the management decided to use digital twin technology to solve the problem. A virtual copy of the radiology department allowed the engineers to change procedures and scenarios, without disrupting daily operations.
The result? Tests that used to take months were completed in a matter of hours. Any unfavorable or unwanted changes could be easily reversed. After evaluating the effects of various scenarios, the most efficient one was selected.
“It was amazing watching our 2D plans transform into 3D, then 4D, reality. Thanks to our digital twin, we now have the best possible configuration for our department,” said Paddy Gilligan, Chief Physicist & Registered Radiation Protection Advisor at MPH.
The benefits were apparent – the hospital reported shorter wait times (by 25 minutes) and increased equipment use. MRI capacity alone rose by 32%, while staffing costs fell by over $10,000 annually, due to a lower number of overtime hours.
Further opportunities – “my digital twin”
Besides layout optimization, digital twins help health professionals in other ways. Their use in the preparation of surgical procedures is particularly helpful, both for doctors and patients. Digital twins enable a surgeon to plan the procedure and find the ideal path to success, even mitigating the need for surgery, in some cases. For cardiologist Benjamin Medder, digital twin technology gave him the opportunity to place a pacemaker in a digital heart, allowing him to run simulations of the effectiveness of the potential procedure before it happens.
To better illustrate the usefulness of digital twins, here is an unsettling example: Two-thirds of endovascular repairs were found to be out of place. However, that leaves plenty of opportunity for optimization. An experimental software was developed, allowing for quick evaluation of the implant position. By varying its position, the surgeon can maximize the surgery’s effectiveness, and subsequently, the patient’s prognosis. Preliminary clinical trials have shown that the method has eliminated the need for repeated surgery.
Besides helping veteran surgeons, digital twins are also very tempting to surgical residents. Unlike traditional trainings that may take place using real, physical examples, digital twins allow for procedures to be repeated using different scenarios every time.
Digital twins in manufacturing
Outside of the healthcare industry, there are other industries that are already being improved by digital twins. Manufacturing, for instance, uses the technology in plenty of ways, from current and future product design to actual production process improvements. With the rise of theInternet of Things and an influx of digitally enabled smart technologies, the opportunity for digital twins has only grown.
For manufacturers with multiple factories in different locations, a digital twin can serve to help optimize process lines, individual pieces of equipment, and more, all without actually changing daily operations.
“It is a window to understanding where issues lie, where improvements can be made, and how to better optimize production,” says Chris Parsons, VP of Global Marketing at Critical Manufacturing.
There are other applications for product designers and engineers, as well. Digital twins present a new opportunity for designers and engineers to incorporate sensors and assets that can provide real-time data. With that data, they can then test and experiment with product changes to provide improvements, even while out in the field. This type of immediate customer engagement and feedback is something that has been a struggle in the past.
Cautious optimism for digital twins
Digital twin technology does have shortcomings that should be addressed. Countless examples of data breaches should make early adopters a bit cautious, as the problems caused by a leak of a digital twin body could be tremendous.
That said, digital twin technology is making an impact on industries globally, and it seems that the future is bright.

YKSITYISOMAISUUS JA YHTEISOMAISUUS: FILOSOFIASTA GLOBAALIPOLITIIKKAAN
Talous nousee voimakkaasti esille jokapäiväisessä uutisoinnissa. Ja jokapäiväisissä kahvipöytäkeskusteluissa taas päivitellään, miksi kaikkea mitataan rahassa. Mihin ovat kadonneet muut arvostuksen mittarit?
Taloudesta ja omistamisesta puhutaan myös kevään Filosofiakahviloissa. Kevään ensimmäisenä puhujana kahville saapui dosentti, tutkija Teppo Eskelinen Itä-Suomen yliopistosta, joka pohti yksityis- ja yhteisomaisuutta filosofisesta ja globaalipoliittisesta näkökulmasta.
– Taloudesta puhutaan aivan liikaa. On totta, että talous ja taloudellinen oikeuttaminen hallitsevat meidän elämäämme, Eskelinen toteaa.
Money makes the world go round, raha pyörittää maailmaa, todetaan. Asioita arvotetaan tässä maailmassa voimakkaasti kustannusten ja taloudellisen tuottavuuden näkökulmasta.
– Jos sanotaan, että jokin asia on taloudellisesti tuottava, se on tässä maailmassa riittävä argumentti. Sen jälkeen ei tarvitse enää sanoa mitään. Sen sijaan jos sanotaan, että jokin asia lisää ihmisten sivistystä ja hyvinvointia, on joku kysymässä miksi se on hyvä asia.
Maailman ongelmia on pyritty pitkälti poistamaan siirtämällä asioita ja alueita yhteisestä omistuksesta yksityiseen omistukseen. Tämän on katsottu selkeyttävän käyttöoikeuksia ja vastuita sekä näin ohjaavan ihmisiä ja alueita tuottavampaan toimintaan – minkä on katsottu olevan hyväksi yhteiskunnallisesta näkökulmasta.
– Taloudellista tehokkuutta ei ole, jos asiaa ei saateta sellaisille mittareille tai kielelle, jotka taloustiede tunnistaa. Onko kyse siis vain taloustieteen sisäisestä päättelystä?
Yhteisomistajuus nostaa kuitenkin päätään myös ekologisista syistä. Ei ole järkevää, että kaikilla on oma pesukone, kun taloyhtiön kellarissa voi hyrrätä paljon parempi kone, halvemmalla. Toisaalta ilman kunnollista vastuunjakoa siihen liittyy myös ongelmia.
– Tiedetään myös, että yhteisomistus voi olla kaikkein tehottominta, koska on mahdollista, että yhdessä omistettu pesukone jää hunningolle ja kaikki ostavat lopulta oman koneensa.
Myös yritysmaailmassa ollaan menossa jossain määrin suuntaan, jossa omistamisesta pyritään eroon. Kiinteistöt realisoidaan, laitteiden sijaan ostetaan laitteiden käyttötunteja ja niin edelleen. Omistamista ei nähdä enää tärkeänä välineenä itse tuotannon kannalta.
Miten omistuksen oikeutus on siten alunpitäen rakentunut, kuinka voimme väittää jotain omaksemme?
Kuuntele Eskelisen Filofofiakahvilassa pitämä alustus kokonaisuudessaan:
Alustus on on taltioitu Filosofiakahvilassa Kuopiossa 27.1.2015.
Filosofiakahviloissa tavalliset ihmiset kokoontuvat yhteen keskustelemaan heitä koskettavista kysymyksistä. Tavoitteena on elävyys, toisten kohtaaminen kasvokkain, eri-ikäisten ja eri elämänpiireistä tulevien ihmisten näkeminen ja kuunteleminen sekä uusien näköalojen avaaminen yhdessä.

Shay Mitchell just started a new getting-ready series on IGTV, and for her inaugural video, she shared how she gets glam on an average day when she's not filming or being photographed. It's glowy, bronzy, and basically just enhances all of her naturally gorgeous features. Moreover, it's fast and a great go-to look for anyone strapped for time in the mornings.
The tutorial begins with the 32-year-old actor introducing the new series and how she prepped her skin. "I have on some sunscreen and eye cream, and I used a lip exfoliator, too," she says. "I've 'set the base,' as I call it."
Shen then jumps right into the makeup and reveals that she likes to use concealer and contour in lieu of foundation because it's quicker. Her concealer of choice? Beautyblender's Bounce Airbrush Liquid Whip Concealer, which she applies above her mouth, under her eyes, and on her chin using a damp Beautyblender.
After concealer is complete, Mitchell takes the It Cosmetics All Over Powder Brush and dips into her favorite contour product: Tom Ford’s Shade and Illuminate Palette. She applies the contour color from the palette to the edges of her face in brisk circular motions, ensuring everything is blended seamlessly. She also adds some of the contour shade down her nose and in the creases of her eyes to bring everything together.

Post-contour, she sweeps a peachy pink cream blush (also by Tom Ford) on the tops of her cheeks — as well as across her nose and forehead, too — to mimic a natural, just-back-from-a-workout-like flush. She follows this with a powder bronzer — the Best of Beauty-winning Benefit Hoola Bronzer, to be specific — and applies it on top of where she contoured.
To set her concealer, she applies a light dusting of Laura Mercier's Translucent Setting Powder underneath her eyes to ensure it doesn't crease. Then she applies the same Hoolah bronzer to her lids and lower lash line.
Then it's time for brows. For this, Mitchell uses Kelly Baker's Brow Defining Pencil in medium to lightly fill in any sparse areas. "I’m honestly not trying to make them look like twins — just related," she jokes. She then sets her brows using some setting mist on a spooly brush, which is pretty brilliant if you ask us. "It really gives a laminated effect without actually lamenting them," she explains.
After her arches are set, she curls her lashes for a wide-eyed effect and then adds a few coats of Buxom's Lash Volumizing Mascara. And on her lips, she uses the sold-out Kylie Cosmetics Kendall Sister Sister Lip Liner followed by Buxom's Full-On Plumping Lip Cream Gloss in the shade Hot Totty.
Lastly, Mitchell applies a touch more bronzer in a slightly darker shade to add depth to the face and then finishes off with some highlighter applied to the high points of her face.
To see the actor's application process in action — and the finished look, of course — tune in to the full tutorial above. Here's hoping she shares another one of her favorite beauty looks again soon.

Should I Use a Local or Nationwide Heavy Equipment Transport Company?
William Thomas / January 2021
It depends on whether you need local or long distance transport. A local company may be best for a quick haul, but not always. A nationwide hauling company may have more options for your heavy equipment transport, especially for state to state shipping.
Now that we’ve given the answer regarding our stance on “shop local” versus “go big,” we’ll explain why we believe it’s preferable to hire a nationwide heavy equipment transport service rather than a local company when you need to ship your equipment out of state or across the country.
“Local equipment transporters may only be available to help you during the certain hours because they have fewer personnel.“
Cost Saving For Heavy Equipment Transport
Local hauling companies may be less expensive for equipment shipping, however this may only be the case for really local items. A big nationwide company, on the other hand, has economies of scale. A nationwide company offers more:
• Drivers.
• Trucks/trailers for transport.
• Larger trucks and trailers to transport more equipment, allowing them to charge less for equipment while maintaining a profit.
• Routes, allowing them to optimize the cost-effectiveness of a shipment’s journey. The business will use less fuel, spend less time stuck in traffic, and require fewer expensive diversions, and as a result, will charge you a relatively lesser amount.

Customer Support For Heavy Machinery Hauling
Local equipment transporters may only be available to help you during the certain hours because they have fewer personnel. On the other hand, a countrywide service frequently has customer support agents available around-the-clock, seven days a week. This implies that someone will be available to assist you with shipping updates, information, and even pricing quotations if you have a problem at 2 a.m. on a Sunday morning.
On Time Pick Up and Delivery for Oversize Loads
The more trucks and drivers a transport firm has, the quicker it will pick up equipment and the quicker the equipment will arrive at its destination.
Nationwide Coverage Means More Drop-off and Pick-up Locations
In fact, you may arrange with several nationwide transport firms to pick up your equipment from your residence. This is typically done at an additional cost.
Nationwide Hauling Companies are Able to Transport Classic, Antique Cars and Other Types of Vehicles.
Can a small local hauling company carry motorbikes or other cars, such as a classic or luxury/high-end car? A nationwide company will be able to transport your vehicle for a cheaper price than a local company, which may need to rent a particular trailer and charge you more for the service.
Weight Restrictions and When Heavy Transport is Considered Oversized
The axle significantly determines weight restrictions. Oversized loads may not exceed the overall weight limit, however they can exceed the limit per axle. Remember that if your heavy haul trucking company employs flatbed drivers, it is their responsibility to obtain the necessary permits.
Final Thoughts
As indicated in the blog, choosing a nationwide heavy equipment transport company offers some advantages that you may not enjoy when you use a local transport company. Choosing a heavy haul trucking firm needs careful assessment of the company’s technical knowledge and the appropriate equipment to handle all sorts of heavy haul services, including hazardous and nonhazardous cargo transportation.
