As CPUs grow more powerful, high-density cooling becomes increasingly important. Heat pipes are a sought-after solution in this area, their performance can only be increased by keeping an eye on the overall system.
Consortium delivers multi-gigabit wireless data transfer and demonstrates scalable approach for efficient train-to-ground data offloading
Conventional condition-monitoring systems detect bearing damage only after wear such as pitting or material loss has already occurred. HCP Sense takes a decisive step further: instead of monitoring the consequences of damage, the technology identifies its root causes at a very early stage. By directly detecting critical lubrication conditions before physical damage occurs, premature bearing failures can be actively prevented.

The Essen-based company Greenflash, in collaboration with STABL Energy, has implemented an intelligent energy system for their joint customer, the duo Giga Coating and System Trailers in the Emsland region. The combination of photovoltaics and energy storage using recycled electric car batteries is controlled by the new AI-based software Greencore AI from Greenflash. This offers advantages to energy-intensive industrial enterprises such as Giga Coating and System Trailers that were hardly viable on this scale in the past.
The SPS in Nuremberg from 25 to 27 November 2025 once again demonstrated its appeal to the international automation community with 1,175 exhibitors presenting their solutions for smart and digital automation in 15 exhibition halls.

Smaller displays with free of charge designer software
When it comes to the world of motion control, it’s easy to take your feedback device for granted. After all, it’s a small part of the system and is typically tucked inside the motor housing, out of sight and out of mind. However, the impact this seemingly minor component has on a system’s accuracy, performance, reliability, and ease of integration is hard to overstate.

David Hawley, ABB’s Global Head of Sales for IEC Low Voltage Motors, notes that while superior performance, reliability & efficiency are essential factors influencing electric motor selection, availability is also key to achieving ambitious energy goals
Pneumatic clamping elements for machine concepts with specific requirements
After years of use, many traction batteries still have a residual capacity of between 70 and 80 percent. While this may be too little for further use in vehicles, some cells could still serve well in large storage systems for households, businesses, or utility providers. Shredding used modules or entire high-voltage storage systems would thus waste valuable resources.
Versatile motors with high power density for mobile applications
Predictive maintenance prevents unplanned downtime. Fixed maintenance intervals, however, are preventive in nature, as true prediction requires real-time system status information and intelligent data evaluation. The Digital Twin Starter Kit from Bosch Digital Twin Industries and Pepperl+Fuchs offers an easy way to get started.
