An IEN Europe Interview with Anton Ivanov, Head of Sales and Operations at tec.nicum – Solutions & Services GmbH, a subsidiary of Schmersal.
Greater efficiency and easier handling for safety gate system
Hydrogen can be used in many ways as an energy source for industry and heavy goods transport, making it a key factor in transforming the energy supply. In addition to being produced from renewable energies, its availability is also crucial. IO-Link sensors from JUMO enable the rapid implementation and safe operation of a modular concept for hydrogen production. Author: Alexander Hof, Senior Product Manager Connectivity, JUMO

Maintaining wind turbines and identifying potential vulnerabilities is expensive and time-consuming, especially when they are located offshore. As a result, rotor blades are often simply replaced, a costly process, when damage is merely suspected. The Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS, working in concert with the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems IWES, has developed a solution that can be used to identify cracks and breakages inside the blades remotely at an early stage.
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.
Contactless transmission of up to 50 W power and data rates of up to 100 Mbit/s
The integration of optimized short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) lenses enables the recovery of more recyclable plastics from waste streams.

USB3 cameras for precise capture of fast-moving objects with less data
In course of Industry 4.0, Kübler has continued to expand its specially developed Industrial Ethernet portfolio in recent years in order to offer customers maximum functionality with protocols like Ethernet/IP, Profinet IO and PROFIsafe. The communication capability of a sensor plays a significant role in ensuring that network communication in the sense of Industry 4.0 is combined with real-time data exchange in the future.
Measuring in confined spaces without danger of damage to the electronics
Safe Absolute Positioning Systems up to SIL 3/PL e
Expensive machine and vehicle breakdowns due to undetected faults in heavy-duty fixed flange bearings: these will soon be a thing of the past thanks to a new generation of two- and four-hole fixed flange bearings. Their special feature is that the bearings, which are made of lubrication-free high-performance plastic, are equipped with miniature wireless sensors, enabling condition monitoring and predictive maintenance.
