Rewiring Movement: The Systems Behind Emobility

The global shift toward electric mobility isn’t just about replacing petrol engines with batteries. It’s about transforming the entire transportation ecosystem—from how vehicles are powered and maintained to how cities are designed and energy is distributed. Beneath the surface of every electric vehicle (EV) lies a complex network of systems and strategies that enable efficient, connected, and sustainable movement. More Than Just Electric Vehicles When people think of eMobility, electric cars often come to mind first. But eMobility extends well beyond personal transport. It includes electric buses, scooters, bikes, delivery vans, and even heavy-duty trucks. Each mode contributes to a larger system where electrification changes not only how vehicles function but also how they interact with infrastructure, data, and users. The development of eMobility solutions involves aligning vehicle design with smart grid technology, battery innovation, and user accessibility. This interconnect...

Smart Factory Design: Where Data Meets Infrastructure

The concept of the smart factory has moved beyond buzzwords into a practical framework for the next era of manufacturing. At its core, smart factory design isn’t just about technology—it’s about building an infrastructure that can think, respond, and evolve through data. As manufacturers move toward greater digitisation, the way a factory is mapped and designed plays a pivotal role in how effective and adaptable that factory will be. Rethinking the Factory Layout Traditional factory layouts prioritised linear workflows—materials entered at one end and exited as finished products at the other. While efficient for volume, such layouts lacked flexibility. Today’s smart factories require a shift in thinking: the space must support rapid changes in demand, batch sizes, and product types. In a smart factory, layout planning must account for real-time data exchange. This means fewer physical barriers, modular workstations, and connectivity zones for sensors and machinery. Designing for ...
