In order to save costs and time, more and more industrial companies are focussing on the possibility of monitoring and controlling devices and systems remotely. Web and cloud-based services are ideal for this: an internet connection makes it possible to control and operate industrial systems as if you were on site and long journeys by service personnel are no longer necessary.
Functionally safe measurement in industrial applications
The CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA) will mark its 25th anniversary at SPS 2025 in Nuremberg from 25th-27th November. Visitors are invited to live demonstrations on CLPA’s key technology, CC-Link IE TSN and more
FF Series filter fans for reliable thermal Management
This paper includes a summary review of three phase power systems, the characteristics of common three phase heating loads, and a comprehensive discussion of three phase SSRs and their application relative to such loads.
Merging safety hardware with cognitive AI for autonomous, resilient systems. The goal is for machines to anticipate, adapt to, and protect industrial operations.

Traco Power quality in a cost efficient design – 40 Watt DC/DC converter
Enabling SIL2 designs with pre-built templates for reliable performance in demanding, safety-critical applications
After years of use, many traction batteries still have a residual capacity of between 70 and 80 percent. While this may be too little for further use in vehicles, some cells could still serve well in large storage systems for households, businesses, or utility providers. Shredding used modules or entire high-voltage storage systems would thus waste valuable resources.
Versatile motors with high power density for mobile applications
Adaptive, real-time control in a high-mix, temperature-sensitive environment - this was the challenge faced by Rutland Plastics in automating the insertion of M8 brass inserts into plastic assemblies with a heat-staking process.

Real-time handling of process data at its point of production is an integral aspect of tomorrow’s automation system, enabling a more resilient operating environment for plant owners. ABB’s Kim Fenrich, Global Product Marketing Manager - DCS Platform, explains how edge computing complements the functional separation of core operations from a parallel layer of digital applications for monitoring and performance optimization.
Whether you’re talking about hybrid regional jets to next-generation air taxis it’s increasingly clear that the future of flight is electric, and electromechanical (EM) actuation is playing a central role in making this a reality. As aircraft systems move away from hydraulics and pneumatics in favor of all-electric architectures.
The I/O module controls stepper motors with Modbus/TCP, Ethernet/IP, or PROFINET interface to host PC, PLC or PAC
Promising alternative to LiDAR systems on track to receive SIL2/PL d safety certification
According to the International Society of Automation, factories worldwide lose 5-20% of their productive capacity to unplanned downtime. With supply chain disruptions increasing, Mitsubishi Electric's predictive maintenance solutions help manufacturers identify equipment failures before they occur, maintaining operational continuity.

OPC UA is widely used as a data exchange standard that bridges the gap between OT and IT. A key part of this standard consists of extensible information models and companion specifications. However, many solutions based on OPC UA fail to exploit the potential of these information models and companion specifications. This editorial explains the benefits offered by OPC UA information models and how information models interact with the other components in an IoT solution.
