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.
Metal enclosed AC/DC power supplies from 30 to 800 watt for cost sensitive applications
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.
IEN Europe’s editor, Kay Petermann, and Rick De Vries, Advantech’s IIoT Sales Director Central Europe, talk about some of the trends and challenges for the European industrial sector.
Smart Production Solutions, the year-end highlight for the automation industry, will take place in Nuremberg from 12-14 November 2024. Exhibitors and potential customers have attended this platform for over three decades.

Condition monitoring - a wide-ranging area of ever-increasing importance. An increasing number of machines and systems are being equipped with measurement technology to keep a constant eye on their current status and all important operating parameters. To save time and costs during maintenance, condition-based monitoring is increasingly being installed on smaller assets.
The degree of automation can vary greatly within the same plant – from very high in the core processes to almost nonexistent in the peripherals. The effort required to wire all circulating containers, external silos, manual valves, safety – critical doors, and manhole covers to the control room would be too great. The WILSEN autonomous IoT wireless sensor node establishes a connection to isolated assets – without any cables – and closes such information gaps.
Premium motors go beyond state-of-the-art energy efficiency to deliver a combination of performance, reliability and commitment to sustainability tailored to suit a wide range of industrial operations. The latest addition to the portfolio is the world’s first magnet-free motor to reach the anticipated IE6 hyper-efficiency level.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have recently developed a temperature sensor that can harvest and store the energy from the magnetic field that exists in the open air around a wire. As a result, this could allow sensors to operate in the most remote settings and — importantly — without batteries.
While automating processes using robots is a reliable way to increase production throughput and productivity, the savings in floorspace can vary depending on the type of robot chosen. Where space is at a premium, a ceiling-mounted orbital robot can offer a suitable solution.
When testing wheelchairs, manufacturers play it safe for understandable reasons. That is why three aspiring mechanical engineers took no risks when they developed a drop test construction for wheelchairs on behalf of the renowned German company MEYRA. They relied on miniature shock absorbers made by ACE to protect the inner life of their construction.
