Making tried-and-tested machines IIot-ready
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.
Robust metal housing in standard size to replace opto-sensors
The transformation to e-mobility requires powerful automation technology. The companies in the Pepperl+Fuchs Group are offering the right solutions—based on constant technological innovation and decades of experience in the automotive industry.
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.
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.
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.

At the Faculty of Science of the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, the PI Innovation Award, which is endowed with 2,500 euros, was presented for the first time. The award recognizes scientific research in the form of doctoral theses as the driving force behind innovative solutions and products. The work of award winner Dr. Teresa Wagner deals with new diagnostics for the early detection of therapy resistance in cancer.
The growth opportunities for AI and robotics in manufacturing are vast and projected to reach $182 billion globally by 2027. Companies that fail to adopt these exponentially advancing technologies as part of their process risk falling behind, as smart factories powered by intelligent machines become the norm.

Air traffic and shipping are no longer conceivable without radar technology. Their electromagnetic waves provide extremely reliable signals for object detection and collision protection. What has proven itself over long distances at sea and in the air is just as useful at near range: radar also ensures precision and safety when controlling autonomous vehicles and machine booms. The new radar sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs are optimized for use in the intralogistics and material handling sections, among others.
With its radar imager, Balluff scans through packages for completeness, integrity, and foreign objects. Customers can benefit from efficient, in-line quality control at the end of the line.
