New functionality, greater connectivity across platforms, and a growing commitment to the engineering community showcased at the annual conference.
he Packaging Competence Centre (PCC) is a joint venture between packaging machinery manufacturer Gerhard Schubert GmbH and Berlin-based packaging consultancy Berndt+Partner Group. The new organisation brings together experts in the fields of regulation, packaging design, materials and automation technology to support manufacturers to develop and implement sustainable packaging.
For easier quality assurance during pressing, assembly and testing
Today’s sophisticated industrial robots embody millennia of imagination and decades of engineering effort
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.
The acquisitions correspond to a global sales volume of € 65 million and an increase in the number of employees of 750.
With push-in wire terminations for automated assembly
Compact measuring device for complete bus physics testing
Setting new standards for precision and adaptability
A hydrogen-fuelled kiln test rig is helping brick and ceramics manufacturers to support the energy transition. In a first for the UK, a kiln and furnace manufacturer has partnered with flow control specialist Bürkert to manage the precise and reliable control of hydrogen. The result for end users is increased production quality and confidence in the transition to hydrogen, enabling a more sustainable process.

Tata Group, a global enterprise headquartered in India, and Analog Devices announced a strategic alliance to explore potential cooperative manufacturing opportunities.
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.
Fully synchronous 16-channel data acquisition
CRP USA, a leading 3D printing service bureau, has partnered with eight-time Paralympics Gold Medallist Tatyana McFadden to create groundbreaking 3D printed wheelchair racing gloves using the Selective Laser Sintering process and Windform XT 2.0 composite material. This collaboration addresses significant manufacturing challenges and sets a new standard for elite athletic gear.

New MV Titanium compact motor and control concept offers game-changing savings of up to 40 percent for energy-intensive sectors looking to slash emissions, like power, renewables, and mining, says Heikki Vepsäläinen, President, ABB Large Motors and Generators.
When testing wheelchairs, manufacturers play it safe for understandable reasons. That is why three aspiring mechanical engineers took no risks when they developed a drop test construction for wheelchairs on behalf of the renowned German company MEYRA. They relied on miniature shock absorbers made by ACE to protect the inner life of their construction.
The aim is to speed up the generation of complex automation code for the engineering process in industrial environments
Monitored changeover is an opportunity to optimise machines, reduce sources for potential errors and making them intuitive and quick to operate.
Researchers at the University of Dresden (Germany) choose Specialised Imaging Kirana ultra-high speed video camera following a head-to-head comparison against alternative commercially available cameras.
SI Sensors based in Cambridge, UK will focus on the development of advanced CMOS image sensors
Smaller manufacturers are the fastest-growing area of industrial robotics today, driven by the need for new collaborative robotics systems.

Siemens and UL Solutions demonstrate how digital twin technology could accelerate product development and certification.
Today, the majority of consumer goods and everyday items are made from petroleum-based plastics. In Germany alone, around six million tonnes of plastic waste is generated every year. About half of this is mechanically recycled into new materials; the rest is used for energy recovery. The incineration of this waste results in the release of CO2, a greenhouse gas. It is therefore important to keep more plastics in the material cycle for climate and environmental reasons. Eight Fraunhofer Institutes are developing new ideas and processes to significantly improve the mechanical recycling rate of plastics as part of the Waste4Future flagship project.
