Il mondo della produzione industriale sta da qualche anno vivendo quella che viene definita la quarta rivoluzione industriale, con linee di produzione sempre più complesse e connesse tra loro. Di conseguenza, sono anche sempre maggiori le sfide ingegneristiche da affrontare per garantire efficienza e sicurezza. In questo contesto dunque il mondo della ricerca ha un impatto fondamentale per trovare e proporre soluzioni a queste sfide. E per approfondire questo tema siamo in compagnia di Stefano Spellini e Michele Lora ricercatori presso l'Università degli Studi di Verona, università che ha realizzato il laboratorio ICE, industrial computer engineering, per studiare una linea di produzione moderna e digitale.Nella sezione delle notizie parliamo dell'Impact Record, un report di Tesla che ha affrontato il tema dell'autonomia delle batterie delle auto elettriche dopo lunghi periodi e delle piattaforme che dovranno adeguarsi al Digital Services Act dell'Unione Europea.--Indice--00:00 - Introduzione01:14 - Il report di Tesla sull'autonomia delle batterie (DMove.it, Matteo Gallo)02:32 - Le piattaforme che dovranno adeguarsi al DSA europeo (HDBlog.it, Luca Martinelli)04:05 - ICELab: una catena di produzione flessibile per l'industria 4.0 (Stefano Spellini, Michele Lora, Davide Fasoli, Luca Martinelli)20:06 - Conclusione--Contatti--• www.dentrolatecnologia.it• Instagram (@dentrolatecnologia)• Telegram (@dentrolatecnologia)• YouTube (@dentrolatecnologia)• redazione@dentrolatecnologia.it--Brani--• Ecstasy by Rabbit Theft• Superhero In My Sleep by Rival x Asketa & Natan Chaim

In a galaxy far far away in what feels like another lifetime Anthony Poponi was a non-profit professional working on rivers and creeks, saving sea turtles or kids and dabbling in every level of living the non-profit life from entry level to Executive Director to nearly everything else in between. During his career Anthony has always been a communicator and favored roles where he either entertains or educates and occasional he even does both. Anthony loves connecting dots in both simple drawings and in complex settings where his inner-communicator brings together individuals to create, connect and laugh. While holding a microphone one day Anthony had an epiphany....'I should do this more.' Anthony speaks on the many facets of happiness on stage as a keynote, workshop, host, moderator or emcee and supports entrepreneurs in Colorado through the ICELab and Small Business Development center as programming Mentor focused on 'taking the fear out of public speaking' and showing entrepreneurs a path towards greater fulfillment for themselves and their teams. “not everyone should be an entrepreneur. There is a lot of discomfort that comes from being an entrepreneur. And you have to understand that there is going to be a lot pressure on you at all times to make the income flow. It's all on you. And maybe the other piece of advice is if you are going to be an entrepreneur just know that in the start-up phase you wind up doing it all, and you have to do the accounting, you have to do all these things if you don't have a significant start-up money to hire a team and start with the team… Over time complexity gets so high that you need expertise in certain silos so you need to find them. And what it also does is, the more you can do that, put yourself in that creative high-value space of the special source of what you do gets to come out and then having other people support that”…[Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-77n
In this episode, Tim Riley joins Jason and Chris. Tim, a partner at Icelab, dry-rb core team member, and world-renowned speaker (at least in Jason's eyes) shares how he got started programming with Ruby, the dry-rb project, Hanami 2.0, dry-view, and public speaking. /me breaks third person tone: I had the honor of having Tim join us at the first Southeast Ruby (2017) after watching a couple of his talks online. Tim is a fantastic person whom I'm glad to have as a friend. He brings a unique approach to writing Ruby that I find so fascinating. I hope you'll enjoy this episode as much as we did. - Jason

Krista Powers moved from Vermont to Crested Butte in the late 90's- but that doesn't mean she forgot her Vermont roots. Those roots include maple syrup production starting back with "Grandpa Archie" back in 1959. Recently, Krista has taken that small business to new levels with her company Vermont Sticky, that can be found in many local establishments throughout the Gunnison Valley. During a Grand Traverse Ski race from Crested Butte to Aspen, Krista also started to think about making energy gels and energy powdered drinks with maple syrup. She talks about those products and even lets us in on a product that she hasn't quite released yet. Another interesting topic that we discussed was her involvement with ICELab- a program for small businesses and start-ups that I think is a really great amenity for budding entrepreneurs in the Gunnison valley. She recently completed the program by making a pitch at "Trout tank", more or less a local version of the TV show Shark Tank. Vermont Sticky products would be a great gift during this holiday season- check out the website below to buy directly or find local retailers: Vermont Sticky Interested in learning more about ICELab?

Computers are increasingly being held in the hand rather than sitting atop lap or desk. We now have to consider how our products will work underneath a finger instead of a mouse cursor. Increasingly, too, those products are being delivered as native applications, capable of fully exploiting device capabilities. That has ramifications not only for the way those projects get built, but also how we structure the businesses that support them. In this session, Michael Honey and Tim Riley answer the question 'web or native?' from business, product design and development perspectives. They cover the current state of web technology on modern devices and compare it to what’s available through native development platforms. They’ll look at web, native and hybrid strategies successfully employed by Australian and international businesses, and share their own stories as mobile and web developers. Finally, they’ll offer practical guidance on picking a strategy for web or native development that best suits your needs - as either a developer or a client. Tim and Michael are two of the partners behind Icelab, an Australian design and development studio. They’ve trod both the web and native paths through their client work, such as interactive touchscreens for museum exhibits, online photo galleries and mobile tour guides, and also their own projects, like Decaf Sucks, a coffee review community available on the web (optimised for both desktops and smartphones) and as a native iPhone app. Michael founded Icelab after a career as creative director and later, interactive director in an agency environment. He has fifteen years’ experience in design for screen, print, video and exhibition spaces, and has expertise in writing, programming, direction and post-production. He is an experienced coder, with a particular interest in algorithmic animation and datavisualisation. He is also experienced in the development of diagrammatic animations for cultural, engineering, scientific and architectural clients. Michael’s interests include architecture, urbanism, and the environment. Follow Michael on Twitter: @michaelhoney Tim is a partner at Australian design and development studio Icelab, where he builds excellent web and mobile applications using Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, Cocoa, and occasionally out of popsicle sticks. On alternate days he runs Decaf Sucks, an online community for coffee reviews, and RentMonkey, which contains the greatest on the Internet. Tim is an active participant in the Australian web and iOS communities, as a regular speaker at the Sydney Ruby on Rails meetings, organiser of the Canberra Ruby Crew, and part of the Canberra Cocoaheads chapter.
