Früchte Jork GmbH from Baden-Württemberg, Germany – a family-run fresh food wholesaler – has reached an important milestone: Its new, fully automated deep-freeze warehouse is in operation. What may look like ‘just’ another high-bay warehouse to outsiders is a quantum leap for the company: faster order picking, optimized processes and significantly improved working conditions for employees. The project was implemented by the intralogistics experts at Klinkhammer Intralogistics GmbH.
The World Advanced Manufacturing & Future Mobility Exhibition (WAM Morocco) makes its debut in Casablanca from 20 to 22 January, positioning itself as the region’s first Industry 4.0–focused platform dedicated to advanced and intelligent manufacturing
The annual report published by the IFR (International Federation of Robotics) highlights the most important trends for robotics and automation in 2026.
The demands on modern production facilities are increasing: safety, efficiency and sustainability must go hand in hand today. With the guiding principle "Safety. Smart. Sustainable." tec.nicum, the Schmersal Group's service division, shows how machine safety can be intelligently combined with digital technologies and practical implementation - for a sustainable industry.
Electronics exposed to radiation can be prone to failure. Satellites and medical devices such as CT scanners are especially sensitive. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS in Dresden are working on an open-source tool that can be used to better prevent radiation-related loss of function.
For more resistant and durable aluminium drives in harsh environments
Industrial single- and three-phase supplies with high energy efficiency
The HARTING Technology Group has generated sales of approximately 1.1 billion euros in the past financial year 2024/25, that ended on 30 September 2025. Adjusted for currency effects, this represents an increase of almost 17 % over the previous year
The Essen-based company Greenflash, in collaboration with STABL Energy, has implemented an intelligent energy system for their joint customer, the duo Giga Coating and System Trailers in the Emsland region. The combination of photovoltaics and energy storage using recycled electric car batteries is controlled by the new AI-based software Greencore AI from Greenflash. This offers advantages to energy-intensive industrial enterprises such as Giga Coating and System Trailers that were hardly viable on this scale in the past.
