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.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are essential for storing renewable energy and ensuring grid stability. However, their implementation comes with inherent risks, particularly related to lithium-ion battery fires.
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.
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.

Realising a compact harvesting vehicle with energy chains
HANNOVER MESSE 2025 (March 31 to April 4) is set to put a focus on the topic of IT/OT security, with leading developers in the field showcasing solutions to address both current and future cyber threats. As the integration of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) continues to expand across global industry, the rise of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) also entails escalating cyber risks, however.
Supporting a short time to market for IoT and AI applications
Offering excellent thermal capabilities in a wide operation temperature range
At this year's HANNOVER MESSE from 31 March to 4 April, drive technology and fluid power will play a special role. Under the "Motion & Drives" banner, these industry segments will once again demonstrate their strength and importance by showcasing a wide range of products, from innovative and intelligent individual components to complete systems.
Reliable and process-safe with optional connector position assurance
International Federation of Robotics reports on trends in the industry
Connectivity for up to 128 HF read/write heads in confined industrial environments
As of January 2025, the company will operate in Norway, Sweden and Finland under the name FAULHABER Nordic ApS. The headquarters will be in Allerød, Denmark, north of Copenhagen, where FAULHABER has been operating since mid-2024.
Servo drive series with AI offers ultra-precise automatic tuning to complement expert skills
Compact measuring device for complete bus physics testing
Industrial cameras with Sony's Starvis 2 sensors help unlock the potential of planetary imaging
Setting new standards for precision and adaptability
Fast and wear-free short circuit protection for motors
Particularly in the field of precision manufacturing, many companies have neither the necessary personnel nor the corresponding vertical integration to develop mechanics and control systems in parallel. As a result, the supplier's expertise is becoming increasingly important. And this is where Aerotech's real work begins: after a detailed integration consultation, customers receive either individual components, a seamlessly integrated subsystem or a complete automation solution.
Automatic object detection is growing ever more sophisticated, yet the accurate detection of humans still poses unique challenges. This article explores what it is that makes humans so difficult to reliably detect, and how successfully navigating these obstacles could usher in a new era of productivity.
Compact linear motor axes meeting the highest dynamics and precision
nokra GmbH of Baesweiler produces laser measuring systems for contactless measurement of geometric properties as an integral part of the production process. Since the objects being measured can become quite hot, effective thermal management is essential in such systems. This task is performed by extremely flat liquid-cooled heat sinks from CTX Thermal Solutions.
