Beyond the data-driven efficiencies of Industry 4.0, a new paradigm is emerging for manufacturers across every industry: Industry 5.0. This next evolution emphasizes a human-centric, resilient, and sustainable approach, calling for a more symbiotic relationship between human workers and intelligent machines.
When it comes to the world of motion control, it’s easy to take your feedback device for granted. After all, it’s a small part of the system and is typically tucked inside the motor housing, out of sight and out of mind. However, the impact this seemingly minor component has on a system’s accuracy, performance, reliability, and ease of integration is hard to overstate.
IEN Europe interviewed Marco Calabrese, the Managing Director of Lika Electronic, about customization and trends in encoder development.
The AX-1 robot from Norwegian start-up Kilter applies herbicides to weeds with such precision that the use of chemicals is reduced by up to 95% thanks to AI and sensor technology. To ensure that the autonomous helper is also gentle on the soil, the developers rely on lightweight and lubricationfree linear technology from the igus drylin series.
With design engineers across the globe constantly innovating to meet growing demand for solutions that support an increasingly digitalised environment, expediting product/ solution development times is imperative for business success at both OEMs and system integrators. Increasing numbers are turning to solutions pre-certified for cybersecurity to save time and provide confidence in robust levels of protection against online threats.

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.
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.
