A cycling race is taking place on the Green Lane.

A key urban construction project in Rizhao City in 2020, the Sunshine Coast Green Lane starts from Lighthouse Square in the south and extends to the south bank of the Liangcheng River in the north – a length of about 28 kilometers. It opened to the public on July 1. The construction of the Green Lane afforded priority to the natural environment and ecology. Specifically, exposed sites and damaged coastal sites have been restored, and 27,000 trees and 280,000 shrubs have been planted as part of a Greener Land project, expanding the green area an additional 490,000 square meters.

The walls along all coastal areas have now been removed, as have the unsightly obsolete facilities and illegal constructions, so the Green Lane runs continuously and gives clear views of the landscape. The Wanpingkou Scenic area and Rizhao Coastal National Forest Park are open, and entry is free of charge. Through 19 connecting channels, the Green Lane connects urban roads, tourist attractions and scenic spots, squares and green spaces, tourist towns and other existing features. In addition, viewing platforms have been constructed and recreation squares put in place for tourists, as well as six floating bridges and one 1,776 meter-long culvert. All this is to create a landscape offering rich and varied experiences – such as walking in the air and walking in a picture. The Green Lane has a unified identification system and its service facilities have been set up in a scientific manner. A three-level system of service has been implemented, consisting of integrated service stations, general service stations and service points. This will ensure the delivery of quality service.

The Green Lane near the Sunshine Coast is a new calling card of Rizhao. It perfectly combines leisure and fitness with ecological experiences, and provides a fresh starting point for Rizhao to strengthen the protection of its coastal zone, build a magnificent city and promote high-quality economic and social development.

COVID-19 Induced Accelerated Adoption of Automation Technologies Promise Faster Revival of Growth. Servo Motors & Drives to Reach $17.1 Billion

The global market for Servo Motors & Drives is expected to slump by -9.5% in the year 2020 and thereafter recover and grow to reach US$17.1 billion by the year 2027, trailing a post COVID-19 CAGR of 3.6% over the analysis period 2020 through 2027.

A vital part of robotics, automation and CNC machining, servo motors & drives are facing a temporary setback as a result of the slumping manufacturing sector & the economic and financial challenges created by the COVID-19 outbreak. The pandemic has however fast forwarded the world’s migration to the fourth industrial revolution by accelerating digital evolution of industries & companies. The long predicted boom in robotics & automation is expected to come much faster than earlier forecasts and will play a key role in inducing a faster & more rapid recovery to growth.

Automation plays a key role in process improvement by eliminating repetition and redundancy, decreasing production time and costs, increasing production uptime, reducing risk of human errors, elevating employee work efficiency, and ensuring high level of compliance with environmental, occupational safety and health regulations. Adoption of automation technology enables enterprises to gain from improved quality of manufactured products, superior employee work efficiency, increased yield and reduced material wastage, and savings on capital and operating costs.

Besides the ongoing coronavirus crisis, the worldwide industrial sector is facing several other pressing challenges in the form of volatile raw material prices, harsh regulatory scenario, globalization-driven issues, and decreasing profitability. In order to stay competitive, manufacturers are increasingly focusing on improving the efficiency of their operations and productivity by modifying and modernizing their production processes and infrastructure.

Manufacturers are leaning towards automation of processes and systems that facilitate plant supervisors, managers, and engineers and workers monitor and manage plant operations in a more efficient and resourceful manner. To reap the benefits of automation, process engineers are deploying advanced Machine Vision, Human-Machine-Interface (HMI), Machine-Machine Interface (MMI), IoT Control & Data Aggregation technologies embedded with dedicated Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Software (SCADA) that aid in gaining complete control over complex operations and processes.

Machine Vision and HMI infrastructure systems have already become common in programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and industrial control panels as these tools provide technicians the capability to select and finalize a pre-planned result from the automated equipment and its application.

By deploying HMI, PLC, industrial control panels, machine vision and other technologies, industrial entities can automate various functions such as turn on/off industrial valves, sensors, and alarms; view and monitor critical data in dashboards; control IoT devices and machines; execute push messages, repots, and KPIs; and turn mechanical operations into visual processes to identify and diagnose problems, among others.

Automation will play a vital role in enabling the companies to recover from the adverse effects of COVID-19 pandemic. In the long run, prospects remain promising due to the growing need for automation in industrial facilities. With process industries focused on plant automation in a bid to enhance productivity, reduce downtime, and conserve energy, there will be increased demand for servo motors and drives that are designed to support process automation.

Transparent Electronics: $20 Billion Market Comes into Sight, Reports IDTechEx

BOSTON, Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The new IDTechEx report, «Transparent Electronics Materials, Applications, Markets 2021-2041,» describes a market that will be well above $20 billion in 2041 with a substantial possible upside.

BOSTON, Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The new IDTechEx report, «Transparent Electronics Materials, Applications, Markets 2021-2041,» describes a market that will be well above $20 billion in 2041 with a substantial possible upside. The rapidly expanding business of transparent electronics includes transparent electrics and optronics. For example, the new LG and Xiaomi micro-LED displays will constitute the best see-through billboards with «bright images floating in the air» in planned smart cities, self-powering if another layer is added.

Here is the future of windows on and over city buildings, but also vehicles by land, water and air, and farmers’ greenhouses. It makes them multifunctional in many different ways. We shall even wrap extra power generation over those vast fields of solar panels while letting them still see the sun.

More giants are becoming involved. Hyundai promises that some of its future electric cars will retain large roof windows, but its new versions will generate enough solar electricity to increase range. In 2020, Chinese railways newly deployed LG OLED train windows that have interactive, light-emitting color displays visible when needed.

The IEA finds that 40.5% of global energy consumption is commercial and residential, mainly in buildings. NREL in the USA develops self-darkening, electricity-generating windows that will save a huge chunk of grid power because buildings will need less cooling and move towards electricity independence. IDTechEx calculates that, in the years to come, the windows of a high rise may generate as much as 0.5MW and, if they darken in response to the sun, the saving is even more considerable. Transparent photovoltaics is inherently bifacial, and manufacturer Onyx has successfully added the glass as fins at the sides of windows. North America has an increasing number of Soliculture farm greenhouses that let in the types of light that optimally grow plants while using the rest to make electricity.

The transparency is achieved using transparent materials or alternatively opaque materials in patterns that let light through as with your car window antenna and demister patterns and phone touch screens, though see-through phones are only a solution looking for a problem. In Germany, a Fraunhofer institute is developing headlamp glass that steers the radar beam of driverless vehicles. VDL offers transparent heater laminate to go over the inside fitments of electric vehicles, saving weight and power, increasing range.

Raghu Das, IDTechEx CEO, adds, «Certain layered constructs are widely useful in transparent electronics. The report ‘Transparent Electronics Materials, Applications, Markets 2021-2041‘ analyses how barrier layers protect displays and photovoltaics and how conducting patterns can constitute nantennas, ballistic diodes, demisters, electrodes, interconnects, inductors, defrosters, and so on. However, when considering the next twenty years, we must add another key enabler. The new transparent metamaterials are honeycomb and patterned constructs, sometimes needing better materials for finer detailing and mass production. They will facilitate 5G and 6G communications, robotic vehicles and the new terahertz electronics, possibly even cooling photovoltaics by nothing more than an overlayer.»

IDTechEx does facts-based analysis using its PhD level technologists across the world. Part of the input for its forecasts includes appraisal of the research pipeline. The report has a comprehensive, easily-grasped Executive Summary and Conclusions with new infograms and 29 forecasts. The Introduction presents the main aspects coming into prominence from 2021-2041. Chapters 3 and 4 analyze the many types of transparent display emerging. Chapter 5 is a deep dive into transparent photovoltaics as it finds new uses and becomes multifunctional. Chapter 6 explains what is happening with see-through circuits, whether using opaque material patterns with gaps or using transparent conductive layers. Chapter 7 addresses electrically darkened glass in buildings, vehicles, and more. Chapter 8 covers enabling constructs in transparent electronic devices, including metamaterials.

Questions answered include:

  • Why are big names becoming so interested?
  • What are the most vibrant, growth markets for transparent electronics 2021-2041?
  • Value markets by type and roadmap 2021-2041
  • What materials are needed and how will they evolve?
  • Gaps in the market? Leading researchers showing the way to solutions?
  • Technical progress with transparent LCD, mini-LED, micro-LED, QD, OLED displays?
  • Emerging applications of transparent displays?
  • Transparent photovoltaics progress, new applications, multifunctionality?
  • Progress with transparent circuits – what new functionality, materials, potential?
  • Electrically darkening glass: progress, potential, materials?
  • Combinations of transparent electronics? How? Why?
  • Enablers: construction, materials, uses of barrier layers, conductive patterns?
  • How will metamaterials become very important in transparent electronics?

Dr Peter Harrop will be presenting a webinar on the topic, «Transparent Electronics on High Drive to $20 Billion,» on Monday 21st December and repeated on Tuesday 12th January.

CHENGDU, China, Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The three-month 22nd Mount Emei Ice and Snow Hot Spring Festival officially commenced on December 12, 2020 under the sponsorship of Sichuan Province Mount Emei Scenic Area Administration Committee and the organization of Emei Shan Tourism Co., Ltd. Compared with last year, Mount Emei is even colder this year, snow came earlier and in bigger volume, and phenomena like rime ice are particularly popular among visitors, and photos of the gorgeous and snow-capped landscape have gone viral on the Internet.

The Golden Summit of Mount Emei

 

Leidongping Ski Resort

Mount Emei consolidated the entire mountain’s tourism resources for this year’s Mount Emei Ice and Snow Hot Spring Festival. On the mountain, visitors could participate in about a dozen winter sports such as snowboarding, skiing and snow tubing on the 300m-long Leidongping Slope, the longest alpine and forested ski slope in China. Going down the mountain, tourists could satisfy their appetites for fine foods with unique fares of the region or relax at one of the city’s three major hot springs. Moving the whole mountain and mobilizing the whole industry have bolstered winter tourism at Mount Emei to a new height.

As one of Sichuan’s top ten folk festivals, the Mount Emei Ice and Snow Hot Spring Festival has been held to great success for 21 years. In 1999, Mount Emei hosted the inaugural Ice and Snow Festival on the Leidongping Ski Field, a trailblazing endeavor for winter tourism in Sichuan scenic zones. In 2003, the Mount Emei Hot Spring Base was completed and the event was upgraded to Ice and Snow Hot Spring Festival. In 2005, the Mount Emei Gastronomy Village and Golden Summit Gastronomy Forest were built, integrating the festival and culinary culture, and a year later elements like martial art and Buddhism were gradually blended as well.

For the 22nd Mount Emei Ice and Snow Hot Spring Festival in 2020, the old event singularly focused on winter sports has grown into a grandiose winter carnival that will span three whole months. The scenic area has designated Entertainment Zone, Tourism and Arts Zone and Supplemental Function Zone, and even designed the «Little Monkey in Ice and Snow» Photography Competition aimed at family travelers.

Over the course of 21 years, the Mount Emei Ice and Snow Hot Spring Festival has evolved from a singular event to an innovative one with diverse offerings, from little-known festivities to a household name, the festival continues to bring surprises to domestic and foreign visitors alike. Statistics show that in 1997, prior to the first edition of the event, Mount Emei received less than 50,000 visits between December and March the following year, accounting for merely 1/12 of the year’s total. The four-month period in 2019 witnessed 850,000 visits, equating to almost a quarter of the year’s total, a surge of approximately 16 folds compared with two decades ago.

In recent years, Mount Emei has been dedicated to positioning itself as one of «Major Tourist Destinations of the World,» «Chinese and International Buddhist Cultural Tourism Destination» and a premier choice for travelers visiting Sichuan. Relying on its idyllic scenery, profound cultural heritage and unique scenic zone services, since 2019 Mount Emei has garnered numerous national-level tourism accolades such as 2019 China Culture and Tourism Integration Model Scenic Area, 2019 Outstanding Scenic Area of China and Regional Tourism High-quality and Popular Scenic Areas.

From traditional experience to innovative interaction, winter tourism at Mount Emei is gradually exhibiting its own unique model. For instance, at the «Digital Emei» Smart Cultural Tourism Experience Center, the millennia of culture and picturesque landscape of Mount Emei are presented to visitors in all their glories via digital means such as AR, VR, hologram and naked-eye 3D display. In 2019, the large-scale and immersive performance Unique Mount EMEI kicked off, and its time- and space-transcending program manifests every aspect of the exquisite beauty of its eponymous mountain and the cultural charm of China in a multitude of artistic demonstrations and stage craft settings.

In recent days, the «Great Emei» Cultural Tourism Development Alliance was officially founded, which consolidates the major scenic areas in the six cities and 39 counties of Sichuan Province and amasses the resources of the involved parties. Going forward, the Mount Emei Scenic Area will convert its Buddhism cultural advantage into industrial advantage and brand advantage, commit efforts to fostering the «pan-Emei» international tourism and culture brand, and continue to capitalize on Mount Emei’s winter tourism selling points to make it a destination truly compelling to visitors and the «third pole» for winter tourism in China.
