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

The measurement technology and automation solutions specialist increased its sales, created new jobs worldwide, invested more than at any time in its history and maintained profit stability.
Accurate energy consumption data is essential for companies aiming to achieve climate-neutral production. To support this goal, a consortium of organizations has recently published a groundbreaking specification for interoperable and efficient energy management in industrial and process automation.
Easily adaptable illumination and range definition via IO-Link
Digital Interfaces for Efficient Process Automation with Pyrometers or Infrared Cameras
Laser triangulation sensors measure variables such as displacement, distance and position on a non-contact, wear-free basis. The most important sensor features are high performance, a compact design and the ability to stabilize the signal with changing surfaces. Micro-Epsilon has now equipped its sensors with the advanced IO-Link interface to network multiple sensors in the factory.
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.
Durable components for use in a wide range of industrial tasks
For easier quality assurance during pressing, assembly and testing
LiDAR Technology Detects Conveyor Belt Loads in 3-D
Modular system with up to 128 I/O channels
Today, vision sensors can be used to implement first-class solutions for many sensor tasks in production, quality assurance, logistics, packaging, and beyond. Raw data sensors offer the greatest possible flexibility in terms of adaptation to special requirements and customer wishes. On the customer side, however, this is associated with a comparatively high programming effort. The SmartRunner Explorer 2-D and 3-D device family from Pepperl+Fuchs shows that this does not have to be the case.
The acquisitions correspond to a global sales volume of € 65 million and an increase in the number of employees of 750.
We spoke to Torsten Czech, Head of Marketing at Optris, about the history of more than 20 years of temperature measurement.
