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.

The digitalisation of manufacturing and logistics introduces unknown software vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit, according to the new 'OT+IoT Cybersecurity Report' from German cybersecurity specialist ONEKEY.
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.

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.
Electricity from renewable sources plays a crucial role in the energy transition. As sun and wind are only available depending on the time of day and the weather, green electricity cannot be generated at all times. This makes battery storage systems indispensable for a stable grid in the future. These storage systems are highly complex technological systems that require a great deal of expertise. LAPP is an expert in the necessary connection solutions and offers companies a comprehensive service.
In course of Industry 4.0, Kübler has continued to expand its specially developed Industrial Ethernet portfolio in recent years in order to offer customers maximum functionality with protocols like Ethernet/IP, Profinet IO and PROFIsafe. The communication capability of a sensor plays a significant role in ensuring that network communication in the sense of Industry 4.0 is combined with real-time data exchange in the future.

The history of electrolysers begins with the discovery of the basic principles in the late 18th and early 19th century by the British scientists William Nicholson and Michael Faraday. Specifically, that water can be split into hydrogen and oxygen using electrical currents.
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.
Three aspects of sensor technology are particularly important in image processing for industrial automation: performance, flexibility and usability. Simple Vision sensors meet these requirements. They are as easy to operate as optical sensors, plus they are as powerful as camera systems. Leuze offers this concept as a quick and straightforward introduction to vision technology.
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.

Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is an additive manufacturing process that has become increasingly important in the 3D printing of metals in recent years. High build rates, wire as an inexpensive and easily available starting material and a highly controllable process are the main advantages. To optimize 3D printing, the Berlin-based 3D printing specialist GEFERTEC records the temperatures in the workpiece using infrared measurement technology from Optris.
Machines and systems are becoming more and more intelligent – and in many cases more complex as a result. This makes it all the more important that the processes in production are transparent and comprehensible at all times so that the teams in production and maintenance can make the right decisions. This is the only way to exploit the full potential of networked manufacturing environments.
A current study by renowned market research institute Omdia is showing that PROFINET is still the leading technology in the Ethernet protocol field. The study is comprehensively analyzing current and future market distribution and is identifying PROFINET as the clear front-runner among well-known systems.
