A report analysing a decade of data for over 1,000 large motors and generators delivered globally by ABB’s Västerås facility in Sweden shows that not aiming for the highest efficiency could be costing global operators up to $12 billion over a 25-year asset life. To mark the release of the report, we spoke with Gunnar Porsby, R&D Manager, High-Speed Synchronous Machines, ABB and David Bjerhag, Global Business Line Manager, High Speed Synchronous Motors, Generators and Condensers within ABB Motion’s High Power division.

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.

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.
At the first Linde Automation Summit, which took place in Aschaffenburg, on 12 and 13 November, the company and its partners shared insights on the transformation of the intralogistics sector with pan-European customers, consultants, & trade press
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.
Siemens launches a one-stop security platform for managing communication connections in OT networks. With virtualized network structures it protects shop floor devices from targeted attacks and unauthorized access.
In order to save costs and time, more and more industrial companies are focussing on the possibility of monitoring and controlling devices and systems remotely. Web and cloud-based services are ideal for this: an internet connection makes it possible to control and operate industrial systems as if you were on site and long journeys by service personnel are no longer necessary.
Carl Ramsden has taken over the newly created position effective October 1, 2025. This newly created position represents an important milestone in the further integration of the British company into the HIMA Group.
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.

By leveraging a digital twin and the AI-powered, fully automated software solution from Factor4Solutions, Stadtwerke Karlsruhe were able to reduce the annual energy consumption of the existing refrigeration system at the GartenCarée complex by 20 percent within just the first six months of operation – significantly increasing its efficiency. And the full potential is far from reached: for an entire year of operation, the utility expects energy savings of up to 40 percent.

Decarbonising industrial activities is key to mitigating climate change – but what happens to the carbon dioxide (CO2) we capture? Permanent sequestration can be difficult and expensive: so what if the captured CO2 could be reused to create a value stream? Whether you choose carbon capture and storage (CCS) or utilisation (CCUS), filtration technology plays a central role in achieving a high-quality end product.
