An IEN Europe interview with Dipl.-Ing. Dimitrios Charisiadis, Managing Director of JUMO, about the successful history of the company and its plans for the future
Combating climate change is a serious challenge, with a nearly overwhelming array of issues to overcome. Sustainability-minded people do their best to lessen their personal carbon footprint by using public transportation, driving an EV, cutting back on energy usage, etc. But the biggest culprit in carbon emissions is actually industry, representing an estimated 23% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S as the U.S. Environmential Protection Agency published.
On the occasion of the company's 80th anniversary, IEN Europe spoke to Florian Haas, VP Global Marketing from Traco Power about industrial power supplies and the demands they face now and in the future.
IEN Europe’s editor, Kay Petermann, and Rick De Vries, Advantech’s IIoT Sales Director Central Europe, talk about some of the trends and challenges for the European industrial sector.
Smart Production Solutions, the year-end highlight for the automation industry, will take place in Nuremberg from 12-14 November 2024. Exhibitors and potential customers have attended this platform for over three decades.
Studying neutrinos is very difficult as they typically pass through most normal matter unimpeded and undetected. Specialist detectors have to be built to hunt for them. The latest one is called JUNO, located 750m below ground in Jiangmen, China. The project is made possible by 17 different countries with 730 scientists working in 74 Universities and national laboratories. To develop the core part of the detector, the liquid scintillator, ultrafast digitizer cards by Spectrum Instrumentation are used.
Rubber abrasion on airport runways must be removed quickly and thoroughly. Together, tl traffic-lines GmbH and Maschinenbau Cernota GmbH & Co. KG have developed a cleaning process that is much more efficient than previous methods. High-precision rack and pinion gears from LEANTECHNIK play an important role in this process.
Electricity from renewable sources plays a crucial role in the energy transition. As sun and wind are only available depending on the time of day and the weather, green electricity cannot be generated at all times. This makes battery storage systems indispensable for a stable grid in the future. These storage systems are highly complex technological systems that require a great deal of expertise. LAPP is an expert in the necessary connection solutions and offers companies a comprehensive service.
In course of Industry 4.0, Kübler has continued to expand its specially developed Industrial Ethernet portfolio in recent years in order to offer customers maximum functionality with protocols like Ethernet/IP, Profinet IO and PROFIsafe. The communication capability of a sensor plays a significant role in ensuring that network communication in the sense of Industry 4.0 is combined with real-time data exchange in the future.
High interpolation allows impressive accuracy
Integrated angle measurement for enhanced path following
The history of electrolysers begins with the discovery of the basic principles in the late 18th and early 19th century by the British scientists William Nicholson and Michael Faraday. Specifically, that water can be split into hydrogen and oxygen using electrical currents.
KUKA Digital will be the segment for software and digital business with the goal to offer end-to-end digitalization of a wide range of machines and systems, from the first 3D simulation to connectivity and data analysis through to the use of AI
Condition monitoring - a wide-ranging area of ever-increasing importance. An increasing number of machines and systems are being equipped with measurement technology to keep a constant eye on their current status and all important operating parameters. To save time and costs during maintenance, condition-based monitoring is increasingly being installed on smaller assets.
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.

While automating processes using robots is a reliable way to increase production throughput and productivity, the savings in floorspace can vary depending on the type of robot chosen. Where space is at a premium, a ceiling-mounted orbital robot can offer a suitable solution.
Eight cores unlock advanced virtualization potential
Monitored changeover is an opportunity to optimise machines, reduce sources for potential errors and making them intuitive and quick to operate.
Available with push-in field connection technology
It is not a revelation to anyone in the industry that energy is the largest operating expense, accounting for the majority of utility costs. In manufacturing processes using compressed air, air compressors consume approximately 12% of the total electrical energy, and over the lifespan of an air compressor, 80% of the cost is energy use, and 20% is the cost of the unit including maintenance. Energy...
Smaller manufacturers are the fastest-growing area of industrial robotics today, driven by the need for new collaborative robotics systems.
