Vaisala launches new probe recalibration and reuse service
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.

Cost-efficient sensor with small form factor and low current consumption
Maximum visibility for use in compact, mobile systems
Endress+Hauser is now the sole owner of the software company CodeWrights GmbH, based in Karlsruhe, Germany. The Swiss specialist in measurement and automation technology acquired the remaining 33 percent of the shares from the sensors and electronics manufacturer Pepperl+Fuchs with effect from 1 July 2025. Since 2002, Endress+Hauser held two-thirds of the shares, while Pepperl+Fuchs owned the remaining third.
Maintaining wind turbines and identifying potential vulnerabilities is expensive and time-consuming, especially when they are located offshore. As a result, rotor blades are often simply replaced, a costly process, when damage is merely suspected. The Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS, working in concert with the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems IWES, has developed a solution that can be used to identify cracks and breakages inside the blades remotely at an early stage.
Predictive maintenance prevents unplanned downtime. Fixed maintenance intervals, however, are preventive in nature, as true prediction requires real-time system status information and intelligent data evaluation. The Digital Twin Starter Kit from Bosch Digital Twin Industries and Pepperl+Fuchs offers an easy way to get started.
The I/O module controls stepper motors with Modbus/TCP, Ethernet/IP, or PROFINET interface to host PC, PLC or PAC

Event-based cameras optimise flow analysis in science and industry
By leveraging a digital twin and the AI-powered, fully automated software solution from Factor4Solutions, Stadtwerke Karlsruhe were able to reduce the annual energy consumption of the existing refrigeration system at the GartenCarée complex by 20 percent within just the first six months of operation – significantly increasing its efficiency. And the full potential is far from reached: for an entire year of operation, the utility expects energy savings of up to 40 percent.
IEN Europe interviewed Norman Hartmann, co-founder and CEO of Workerbase GmbH, who introduces the benefits of the Connected Worker Platform concept.
An energy monitoring system for sustainable enterprises
Compact and flexible sensor for safety, process control, and condition monitoring
Rugged switch with easy-to connect M12 connector
High-performance DAQ system for evaluation and testing in different industrial areas
Robust and versatile encoders from MEGATRON optimize the intralogistics of autonomous transport vehicles. Whether with integrated CAN bus connection, locally programmable teach-in function or energy harvesting: the encoders offer maximum flexibility for the respective application.
Leuze SmartID-Edge controls a network of identification systems and sensors for track-and-trace requirements in production and the supply chain. Secure communication between 1D scanners or 2D camera systems takes place at edge level using OPC UA and full integration of the AutoID Companion Specification. The advantage: Each object to be identified is not only represented by its code but also mapped on a virtual tag in the edge system.
Kollmorgen servo motors are now available with a new generation feedback device. Offered at no additional cost over erlier models, this encoder offers four times greater positioning accuracy and uses energy-harvesting technology to track absolute multi-turn positioning even when the system is powered off.
