Through a unique partnership GN is launching a new production test & measurement platform that delivers increased efficiency, flexibility and a reduced environmental impact.
Sensor for safe guidance through high-bay warehouses
Körber is expanding its portfolio with AI-based pick-and-place technology from Sereact. The partnership focuses on integrating robotic solutions for single item picking into automated production and distribution solutions. An initial joint project with a German mechanical engineering company is already in progress.
Increased measurement zones for 3D distance and object detection
Cost-effective connection for digital signals in applications with moderate requirements
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.
Robust, flexible and easy to assemble for a wide application range
Addition to the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio mainly in the range of 24 and 48 V motors for intelligent, battery-powered drive solutions.
IEN Europe interviewed Norman Hartmann, co-founder and CEO of Workerbase GmbH, who introduces the benefits of the Connected Worker Platform concept.
The strategic collaboration aims to expand service offerings and enhance customer satisfaction for TDK-Lambda products across the EMEA region.
Optimization of space requirements and cycle times for dynamic applications
Robust and versatile encoders from MEGATRON optimize the intralogistics of autonomous transport vehicles. Whether with integrated CAN bus connection, locally programmable teach-in function or energy harvesting: the encoders offer maximum flexibility for the respective application.
Smaller, more efficient, and aesthetically enhanced OPV modules for sustainable, battery-free IoT and industrial applications
Leuze SmartID-Edge controls a network of identification systems and sensors for track-and-trace requirements in production and the supply chain. Secure communication between 1D scanners or 2D camera systems takes place at edge level using OPC UA and full integration of the AutoID Companion Specification. The advantage: Each object to be identified is not only represented by its code but also mapped on a virtual tag in the edge system.
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.
Strenghtening of partnership on local production of Computer-on-Modules
Providing safe material flow in the field, the new DMM4 muting module from SICK Sensor Intelligence provides safe human-material differentiation to improve protection and productivity in industrial settings.
Projected Image, specialists in projected safety signage, have launched an innovative virtual warehouse model to help companies visualise their safety planning.
The measurement technology and automation solutions specialist increased its sales, created new jobs worldwide, invested more than at any time in its history and maintained profit stability.
Detecting objects or measuring fill levels while maintaining full communication: Due to these capabilities, the rugged UB*-F42 ultrasonic sensor from Pepperl+Fuchs is suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including vehicle detection, consumption measurement for rolls of material, and stock level monitoring in dusty gravel silos. The devices transmit differentiated process and status data via an IOLink interface to ensure optimized control and targeted predictive maintenance.
LiDAR Technology Detects Conveyor Belt Loads in 3-D
Today, vision sensors can be used to implement first-class solutions for many sensor tasks in production, quality assurance, logistics, packaging, and beyond. Raw data sensors offer the greatest possible flexibility in terms of adaptation to special requirements and customer wishes. On the customer side, however, this is associated with a comparatively high programming effort. The SmartRunner Explorer 2-D and 3-D device family from Pepperl+Fuchs shows that this does not have to be the case.
Laser triangulation sensors with IO-Link interface
Supporting a short time to market for IoT and AI applications
International Federation of Robotics reports on trends in the industry
Connectivity for up to 128 HF read/write heads in confined industrial environments
The Application Park will be one of the highlights of HANNOVER MESSE this year and present new and exciting robotics applications. Visitors can have a look there at intelligent robot systems, autonomous driving devices in operation, the latest AI applications in robotics, image recognition tools and virtual platforms.
Fast and wear-free short circuit protection for motors
The Volume3D volume detection system precisely measures the load on conveyor belts using LiDAR sensors, an evaluation unit, and a rotary encoder. It detects volume, volume flow, and many other data while simultaneously monitoring sensor contamination.
The digitalisation of manufacturing and logistics introduces unknown software vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit, according to the new 'OT+IoT Cybersecurity Report' from German cybersecurity specialist ONEKEY.
For modern automated systems, those responsible are faced with the challenge of finding efficient cabling solutions that fulfil both the high performance and data transmission requirements. Traditional cabling systems often provide for separate cables for these purposes, which leads to increased effort and higher costs. One Cable Solutions (OCS) solve these challenges and thus also meet the growing requirements of the IIoT.
