Driven by the latest technology and a widening selection of equipment, process automation is becoming an increasingly popular option for manufacturing and process plants seeking competitive gain in combative markets
An IoT integration platform for data and deployment management
Bosch Connected Industry developed an interoperable system for Industry 4.0 called Nexeed that covers all processes within the factory, from production to logistics. Its open interface is among Nexeed’s main benefits
The specialist of packaging systems production for the food sector, Rovema, opted for monitored size changeover using the AP10 electronic position indicators with IO link from Siko
AI specialist Resolto is bringing AI directly to the machine and interpreting data there with its Scraitec platform, for example at a household appliance producer and a car manufacturer
The benefits of Industry 4.0 are predicated on leveraging increased data for better decision making. Networking technology must evolve to handle the increased data volume, as must the manufacturers processes and methodologies
IGS contracted to apply an HVTS cladding on top of the weld overlay in situ to stop corrosion and ensure the reliable and safe operation of the boiler. After 10 months in service, the IGS thermal spray solution had no defects
Smart technologies are extending traditional machine control architectures with more enhanced data processing, learning and decision-making capacity
Provide fully wireless differential measurements
Now that China is slowly getting back to normal, normality looks like a faraway lighthouse for the rest of the world hit by the virus. Dark times are on the horizon for the manufacturing industry but a rebound with no major consequences is still possible
