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.

Combating climate change is a serious challenge, with a nearly overwhelming array of issues to overcome. Sustainability-minded people do their best to lessen their personal carbon footprint by using public transportation, driving an EV, cutting back on energy usage, etc. But the biggest culprit in carbon emissions is actually industry, representing an estimated 23% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S as the U.S. Environmential Protection Agency published.
Integrated hardware and software for single-axis control of BLDC motors
On the occasion of the company's 80th anniversary, IEN Europe spoke to Florian Haas, VP Global Marketing from Traco Power about industrial power supplies and the demands they face now and in the future.
For modern automated systems, those responsible are faced with the challenge of finding efficient cabling solutions that fulfil both the high performance and data transmission requirements. Traditional cabling systems often provide for separate cables for these purposes, which leads to increased effort and higher costs. One Cable Solutions (OCS) solve these challenges and thus also meet the growing requirements of the IIoT.
IoT architectures remain heterogeneous despite standards like SMARC® and COM Express®. This complicates integration and increases costs. Middleware abstracts the complexities of hardware, operating systems, and protocols, reducing development time.
Reliable operation in harsh and hazardous environments
Integrated certified motion function blocks safe space on the rail
Rubber abrasion on airport runways must be removed quickly and thoroughly. Together, tl traffic-lines GmbH and Maschinenbau Cernota GmbH & Co. KG have developed a cleaning process that is much more efficient than previous methods. High-precision rack and pinion gears from LEANTECHNIK play an important role in this process.

The growth opportunities for AI and robotics in manufacturing are vast and projected to reach $182 billion globally by 2027. Companies that fail to adopt these exponentially advancing technologies as part of their process risk falling behind, as smart factories powered by intelligent machines become the norm.
The IE5+ permanent synchronous motor from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS not only provides high-efficiency operation which saves energy and CO2 emissions. It also impresses with its material efficiency and requires a comparatively small number of critical metals.
