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.

3D printing in companies is booming. Design engineers are printing special components and wear-resistant parts themselves without further ado. However, the projects stand or fall on the quality of the printing material, warns Jonas Burk, Head of Additive Manufacturing at igus. The fact that 3D printing with high-performance polymers from igus is worthwhile is not only proven by the service life tests. Customers can also manufacture their products more economically and faster than injection moulding.
An independent jury comprising top-class experts from political and business communities, research, and the media, chaired by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Holger Hanselka, President of the Fraunhofer Society, has nominated three companies selected from the numerous submissions for the HERMES AWARD. The winner will be announced at the official opening ceremony of HANNOVER MESSE on April 19, 2026. The Federal Minister of Research, Technology and Space, Dorothee Bär, will present the award.
If you require a professional image processing system to meet specific needs it is essential that the lens also meets all the necessary criteria to ensure long-term functionality. We spoke to Rob Watkinson from Resolve Optics about overcoming the limitations of off-the-shelf products and achieving the best results.

Humanoids are considered to be the next big thing in robotics: China has set out specific targets for its plans to mass-produce humanoids, tech companies in the US and Europe are announcing significant funding. The vision is to create general-purpose robots based on human motion mechanics. The International Federation of Robotics has released a new positioning paper that provides valuable insights about trends, opportunities, and potential limitations of humanoids.
Real-time handling of process data at its point of production is an integral aspect of tomorrow’s automation system, enabling a more resilient operating environment for plant owners. ABB’s Kim Fenrich, Global Product Marketing Manager - DCS Platform, explains how edge computing complements the functional separation of core operations from a parallel layer of digital applications for monitoring and performance optimization.
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.
