Exceptional diaphragm pump lifetime is no coincidence, it is engineered. When a pump runs for more than 11 years under defined test conditions, OEMs benefit from fewer failures, lower costs, and greater confidence in critical applications.
In industrial applications, a stable and reliable power supply is crucial to the availability of entire systems.
Safe power distribution and energy storage
Efficient interface with robust plastic housing for decentralised drive systems
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.
An IEN Europe interview with Laurent Liou, Product Marketing Manager, Moxa, specializing in OT network security and compliance with cybersecurity standards.
Smart automation is reshaping industrial production. Machines, control systems and service processes are becoming more connected, data-driven and flexible. To fully leverage these capabilities, manufacturers need secure and reliable access to OT across sites – for maintenance, troubleshooting and optimization. Yet in many factories, legacy systems, segmented networks and stringent security requirements still stand in the way of what has been a commodity in IT environments for many years.

How automated fuel polishing and PLC control protect diesel backup power from contamination and failure
As automation systems grow more complex, machine builders are rethinking how they design and deploy motion. Nicola Pezzolato, Application Engineering Leader EMEA at Kollmorgen, explores how a new generation of servo technology is helping manufacturers simplify design, improve flexibility, and build greater resilience into their supply chains.
Making electrical infrastructure fit for future challenges with greater safety and speed – that is the goal of the new technology partnership between ABB and Rittal. Working together to create innovations for the European and international market will significantly accelerate the development and expansion of electrical infrastructure.

GENESIS Historian is a high-performance data historian designed to capture, store and manage large volumes of industrial data.
Elesa S.p.A. further develops its offering for modular tubular structures with the TCC series, a system of connection clamps designed to combine mechanical strength, versatility and ease of use.
2.5 inch Genio platform for Edge AI workloads
Improved sealing and greater precision for mechanical engineering and robotics
The industrial group receives this coveted innovation prize in recognition of its platform for highly integrated actuators. An independent jury chaired by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Holger Hanselka, President of the Fraunhofer Society, selected the winner from among three nominated companies. The award was presented by Dorothee Bär, Federal Minister for Research, Technology and Space, during the official opening of HANNOVER MESSE on April 19, 2026, in the presence of Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

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

The conservation organization Project Seagrass and Tandem Ventures have joined forces to design, develop, build, and test an underwater harvesting machine. Onshape enables the team to collaborate in real time, even from a boat.
The development of AI models in joint projects yields improved results because multiple companies contribute their data. The situation becomes critical, however, if a partner withdraws and requests the return of its data. With federated unlearning, Fraunhofer researchers and Fujitsu Research have developed a method for precisely removing data from decentralized AI models.
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.
High machine availability is enabled by the integrated IO-Link interface, which provides access to sensor parameters, diagnostics and process data.
