Siemens named one of the global preferred suppliers for Merck's next-level automation, boosting global smart manufacturing with Siemens Xcelerator platform
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.
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.
LoRaWan sensor for integration into IIoT systems
Machines and systems are becoming more and more intelligent – and in many cases more complex as a result. This makes it all the more important that the processes in production are transparent and comprehensible at all times so that the teams in production and maintenance can make the right decisions. This is the only way to exploit the full potential of networked manufacturing environments.
Schneider Electric has been honored with the 10,000,000th Anybus Module award by HMS Networks. By integration of the network connectivity interfaces into its line of variable speed drives, Schneider Electric empowers its customers with a diverse range of drives that can be fine-tuned for both performance and energy efficiency. This dual benefit not only enhances customer operation performance but also contributes to a greener planet.

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.
