The Integrated Interior Platform is the basis for the human-machine interaction of the future: depending on the driving mode, it turns the cockpit into an information centre or a rolling living room with large displays (photo: Continental)
At the IAA 2019 in Frankfurt (12 to 22 September), Continental has unveiled the latest version of its Integrated Interior Platform (IIP). As a high-performance computer, this comprehensive solution for software and hardware provides the basis for interaction between humans and vehicles in the connected cockpit of tomorrow – and at the highest level of quality. In its cockpit demonstrator, the technology company showed how the IIP combines various displays, such as the instrument cluster and the centre console display, with Internet-based services to form a complete solution. The IIP is a milestone in the E/E architecture revolution, which is seeing in-car electronics move away from many individual control units to a few high-performance computers.
Phoseon Technology (Hilsboro, Oregon) is introducing the FireJet FJ645UV LED self-contained, air-cooled curing lamp for flexographic applications at LabelexpoEurope2019 in Brussels, Belgium. With a 40mm wide emitting window, the FJ645provides longer UV exposure time and greater dose, improving through-cure and adhesion of difficult to cure materials; especially over-print varnishes, and dense blacks. The increased dose allows for higher speed without the need for additional facilities requirements, such as exhaust blowers or water chillers.
