98% of companies are investing or planning to invest in energy efficiency. Yet, structural gaps in financing and internal capabilities are slowing delivery as rising energy costs tighten their grip on profitability
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.

Digitalization is opening up new possibilities in robotics and mechanical engineering. Networked ecosystems, intelligent components and smart services are the key to unlocking huge potential in terms of productivity, efficiency, process reliability, maintenance and availability. Gearboxes play a special role in this. Nabtesco, the world's largest manufacturer of precision gearboxes, knows the challenges and offers unique solutions for the digital transformation of industry.
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.
On 22 May, IEN Europe editor Kay Petermann was invited to attend the press conference and official opening of the new JUMO plant in Fulda, Germany.
Compact and cost-effective safety solution for versatile applications
At this year's HANNOVER MESSE from 31 March to 4 April, drive technology and fluid power will play a special role. Under the "Motion & Drives" banner, these industry segments will once again demonstrate their strength and importance by showcasing a wide range of products, from innovative and intelligent individual components to complete systems.
Standardized Plug System for PROFINET over SPE
nokra GmbH of Baesweiler produces laser measuring systems for contactless measurement of geometric properties as an integral part of the production process. Since the objects being measured can become quite hot, effective thermal management is essential in such systems. This task is performed by extremely flat liquid-cooled heat sinks from CTX Thermal Solutions.
PROFINET Certification for Virtual Controller and Device Instances
The history of electrolysers begins with the discovery of the basic principles in the late 18th and early 19th century by the British scientists William Nicholson and Michael Faraday. Specifically, that water can be split into hydrogen and oxygen using electrical currents.
Three aspects of sensor technology are particularly important in image processing for industrial automation: performance, flexibility and usability. Simple Vision sensors meet these requirements. They are as easy to operate as optical sensors, plus they are as powerful as camera systems. Leuze offers this concept as a quick and straightforward introduction to vision technology.
