The degree of automation can vary greatly within the same plant – from very high in the core processes to almost nonexistent in the peripherals. The effort required to wire all circulating containers, external silos, manual valves, safety – critical doors, and manhole covers to the control room would be too great. The WILSEN autonomous IoT wireless sensor node establishes a connection to isolated assets – without any cables – and closes such information gaps.
Three aspects of sensor technology are particularly important in image processing for industrial automation: performance, flexibility and usability. Simple Vision sensors meet these requirements. They are as easy to operate as optical sensors, plus they are as powerful as camera systems. Leuze offers this concept as a quick and straightforward introduction to vision technology.
Premium motors go beyond state-of-the-art energy efficiency to deliver a combination of performance, reliability and commitment to sustainability tailored to suit a wide range of industrial operations.

Machines and systems are becoming more and more intelligent – and in many cases more complex as a result. This makes it all the more important that the processes in production are transparent and comprehensible at all times so that the teams in production and maintenance can make the right decisions. This is the only way to exploit the full potential of networked manufacturing environments.
RODE, the acronym for RObotic DEpalletiser, is a pioneering product from AWL in the intralogistics market. The robotic solution is able to efficiently process packages randomly arranged on a pallet, setting it apart from conventional systems.
