Battery- and gearless devices in single- and multiturn-versions
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.
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.
Robust, flexible and easy to assemble for a wide application range
The I/O module controls stepper motors with Modbus/TCP, Ethernet/IP, or PROFINET interface to host PC, PLC or PAC
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.

From Pasture to Pot: Preserving Nature’s Goodness
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.
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.
An energy monitoring system for sustainable enterprises
Compact and flexible sensor for safety, process control, and condition monitoring
High-performance with low noise and advanced communication capabilities
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.
Smaller, more efficient, and aesthetically enhanced OPV modules for sustainable, battery-free IoT and industrial applications
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.

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.
