Production data monitoring and analysis for effective, data-driven decisions
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.

Maximum productivity requires not only precision manufacturing processes, but also smooth disposal of the generated waste materials. This is exactly where the new, fully automated waste disposal solution from KABELSCHLEPP Hünsborn comes in, which has just been successfully commissioned at the factory of agricultural machinery manufacturer AGCO Fendt in Asbach-Bäumenheim, Germany. The intelligent conveyor system ensures a smooth flow of materials – with minimum use of personnel and maximum efficiency.

Decarbonising industrial activities is key to mitigating climate change – but what happens to the carbon dioxide (CO2) we capture? Permanent sequestration can be difficult and expensive: so what if the captured CO2 could be reused to create a value stream? Whether you choose carbon capture and storage (CCS) or utilisation (CCUS), filtration technology plays a central role in achieving a high-quality end product.

As one of the world's most important industrial trade shows, HANNOVER MESSE 2025 sends out positive signals to industry and politics. Artificial intelligence (AI), automation, digitalization and electrification are driving efficiency leaps in industry. Strong impulses are also coming from partner country Canada, which is actively strengthening and expanding transatlantic cooperation in turbulent times.
At the HANNOVER Fair 2025 IEN EUROPE editor Kay Petermann met with Francisco Almada Lobo, CEO of Critical Manufacturing to talk about the benefits of a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and why it is helpful for companies of all sizes to have one.
Detecting objects or measuring fill levels while maintaining full communication: Due to these capabilities, the rugged UB*-F42 ultrasonic sensor from Pepperl+Fuchs is suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including vehicle detection, consumption measurement for rolls of material, and stock level monitoring in dusty gravel silos. The devices transmit differentiated process and status data via an IOLink interface to ensure optimized control and targeted predictive maintenance.
Since life began some 1 billion years ago, an intricate web of cycles and relationships has developed. Sunlight is the only input, and nothing is wasted. For the electrical industry, adopting a more circular approach to manufacturing can advance sustainability and offer unique economic opportunities, say Fernando Nuño and Bruno De Wachter, members of the advisory board for electrical manufacturing trade show, CWIEME Berlin.
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has been the hero in the fight against friction and wear for years. However, there is also the other side of the coin: as a persistent material, PTFE is currently the focus of the discussion about a possible PFAS ban by the ECHA. Even if there is no ban, the motion plastics pioneer igus has good reasons to look for alternatives. With new formulations, extensive tests and adapted production processes, igus already offers its customers a wide range of PTFE-free products. Author: Dr-Ing. Magnus Orth is Head of Material Development and the Technical Centre at igus.
