Converts standard pulse output flow meters to give linearised analog and NPN/PNP outputs
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.
RODE, the acronym for RObotic DEpalletiser, is a pioneering product from AWL in the intralogistics market. The robotic solution is able to efficiently process packages randomly arranged on a pallet, setting it apart from conventional systems.
CRP USA, a leading 3D printing service bureau, has partnered with eight-time Paralympics Gold Medallist Tatyana McFadden to create groundbreaking 3D printed wheelchair racing gloves using the Selective Laser Sintering process and Windform XT 2.0 composite material. This collaboration addresses significant manufacturing challenges and sets a new standard for elite athletic gear.

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...
Fully encapsulated with certification for railway and transportation systems
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.

Best Practices: OT To IT Series - Why you need both Network and Data Security
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...
In the realm of embedded computing solutions, Raspberry Pi has emerged as a pioneering force, offering a diverse range of compact modules tailored for industrial and commercial applications. Here we take a look at the differences between the foundation’s Compute Module 4 (CM4) and Compute Module 3+ when it comes to developing embedded projects.

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.
Air traffic and shipping are no longer conceivable without radar technology. Their electromagnetic waves provide extremely reliable signals for object detection and collision protection. What has proven itself over long distances at sea and in the air is just as useful at near range: radar also ensures precision and safety when controlling autonomous vehicles and machine booms. The new radar sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs are optimized for use in the intralogistics and material handling sections, among others.
