Every maintenance manager eventually faces the critical decision of whether to repair an existing air compressor or to invest in a new unit. This choice impacts not only immediate operational capabilities but also long-term financial performance. Making the right decision requires careful analysis of multiple factors, from immediate costs to future operational needs. Author: Rodrigo Varela, Senior Director – Aftermarket, ElGi
High machine availability is enabled by the integrated IO-Link interface, which provides access to sensor parameters, diagnostics and process data.
Reactive robotics has delivered enormous efficiency gains for industry. But the technology is reaching its economic limits: systems that only respond to the current state scale speed – but not stability. As process complexity grows, small misjudgements lead to costly downtime. Sereact is now introducing Cortex 2.0, a new generation of AI that evaluates the consequences of actions in advance and eliminates errors before they occur. The economic potential is immense.

A high-caliber panel of robotics experts has announced the nominees for the coveted ROBOTICS AWARD 2026. The award honors companies driving groundbreaking advances in industrial development with their innovative robot assisted solutions in the fields of automation and logistics. Three companies particularly impressed the jury and made it onto the shortlist.
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.
Beyond the data-driven efficiencies of Industry 4.0, a new paradigm is emerging for manufacturers across every industry: Industry 5.0. This next evolution emphasizes a human-centric, resilient, and sustainable approach, calling for a more symbiotic relationship between human workers and intelligent machines.
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.
Optimised fixed-focus and zoom lenses, designed to operate in the ultraviolet spectral region (200-400 nanometres)
The new class of controller from Trio combine high-performance motion control over EtherCAT with logic and I/O expansion to enable faster, simpler machine development.
Adaptive, real-time control in a high-mix, temperature-sensitive environment - this was the challenge faced by Rutland Plastics in automating the insertion of M8 brass inserts into plastic assemblies with a heat-staking process.
