Increased measurement zones for 3D distance and object detection
New servo drive line addresses need for cost-effective automation solutions
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.

Instant detection and response to critical events from multiple data sources
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are essential for storing renewable energy and ensuring grid stability. However, their implementation comes with inherent risks, particularly related to lithium-ion battery fires.
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.

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.
“Sustainable thinking. Digital acting.” is SEW-EURODRIVE’s motto for HANNOVER MESSE this year. On a space measuring some 1600 square meters the Bruchsal-based drive and automation specialist is showcasing how the future of sustainable industrial production can start taking shape now with the help of digitalization and artificial intelligence.
HANNOVER MESSE 2025 (March 31 to April 4) is set to put a focus on the topic of IT/OT security, with leading developers in the field showcasing solutions to address both current and future cyber threats. As the integration of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) continues to expand across global industry, the rise of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) also entails escalating cyber risks, however.
