Wireless positioning with compact all-in-one units
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 new concept introduces complete speed control for an MV motor in a single energy efficient package for pumps, compressors, fans and other applications across multiple industries
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.
We spoke to Michael Mayer-Rosa, Senior Director Industrial Automation Business Group, Delta Electronics EMEA region about the newly introduced Delta Electronics collaborative robots.
Accelerometers for detection of load imbalances
The pressure towards sustainability is pushing the oil, gas and energy sectors to evolve innovative and diverse solutions in a move to create an energy efficient future. Major transformations within the oil and gas industry in the form of adopting sustainable practices, developing new revenue streams and pushing the boundaries of technology, are being trialled and delivering success. Expanding into...
New MV Titanium compact motor and control concept offers game-changing savings of up to 40 percent for energy-intensive sectors looking to slash emissions, like power, renewables, and mining, says Heikki Vepsäläinen, President, ABB Large Motors and Generators.
Aetina, of Edge AI solutions, and Tupl, innovator in AI-powered operations automation, have today announced a global technological partnership to accelerate the adoption of AI vision solutions at the edge in factories worldwide. This strategic collaboration promises to extend beyond manufacturing, with the potential to impact on a wide range of industries.
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.
Object detection for a range of up to 2 meters
Liquid-cooled heat sinks are used in applications where passive or fan-based cooling solutions are insufficient, but effective cooling is indispensable. However, there are major differences between liquid-cooled heat sinks. The optimal production process for the particular application depends on various factors, such as the desired material and coolant, the specified cooling capacity, and the required number of heat sinks.
The grand opening, which took place on the 23rd of April, reinforces the commitment to support European innovation while expanding the presence in Western Europe.
Monitored changeover is an opportunity to optimise machines, reduce sources for potential errors and making them intuitive and quick to operate.
Flexibly mountable multitouch HMI in four sizes
Growth forecast expects annual increase of +20 % for the coming years
Researchers at the University of Dresden (Germany) choose Specialised Imaging Kirana ultra-high speed video camera following a head-to-head comparison against alternative commercially available cameras.
It is not a revelation to anyone in the industry that energy is the largest operating expense, accounting for the majority of utility costs. In manufacturing processes using compressed air, air compressors consume approximately 12% of the total electrical energy, and over the lifespan of an air compressor, 80% of the cost is energy use, and 20% is the cost of the unit including maintenance. Energy...
Smaller manufacturers are the fastest-growing area of industrial robotics today, driven by the need for new collaborative robotics systems.
More than 130,000 visitors from 150 countries, 4,000 exhibiting companies, 300 startups and over 300 economic and political delegations from all over the world. These are the figures that emphasise the fair's position again after five successful days.

Expensive machine and vehicle breakdowns due to undetected faults in heavy-duty fixed flange bearings: these will soon be a thing of the past thanks to a new generation of two- and four-hole fixed flange bearings. Their special feature is that the bearings, which are made of lubrication-free high-performance plastic, are equipped with miniature wireless sensors, enabling condition monitoring and predictive maintenance.
With the rapid advancements in technology, there is increasing consumer demand for innovative, smart, and connected products that need to get to market more quickly, cost effectively and sustainably. Today, manufacturers must deliver on these expectations as they deal with increasing design and production complexity, as well as global supply-chain issues that impact time-to-market.
