Why Redfish-Inside PLCs Are Reshaping Cooling, Control, and DCIM Integration
High-performance thermal management for high-airflow electrical cabinets
Optical and magnetic encoders with integrated energy harvesting
As the largest foreign exhibitor at Embedded World 2026 in Nuremberg from March 10 to 12, Taiwan will present a broad range of AI-driven innovations in electronics and computing.
Highly efficient drives for reduce energy and resource consumption
Reliable pallet and workpiece carrier positioning in automated systems
How an easy-to-use sensor module can bring flow intelligence to consumer and industrial equipment
Monitoring and reporting of production and energy data
Früchte Jork GmbH from Baden-Württemberg, Germany – a family-run fresh food wholesaler – has reached an important milestone: Its new, fully automated deep-freeze warehouse is in operation. What may look like ‘just’ another high-bay warehouse to outsiders is a quantum leap for the company: faster order picking, optimized processes and significantly improved working conditions for employees. The project was implemented by the intralogistics experts at Klinkhammer Intralogistics GmbH.
The annual report published by the IFR (International Federation of Robotics) highlights the most important trends for robotics and automation in 2026.
For more resistant and durable aluminium drives in harsh environments
The Essen-based company Greenflash, in collaboration with STABL Energy, has implemented an intelligent energy system for their joint customer, the duo Giga Coating and System Trailers in the Emsland region. The combination of photovoltaics and energy storage using recycled electric car batteries is controlled by the new AI-based software Greencore AI from Greenflash. This offers advantages to energy-intensive industrial enterprises such as Giga Coating and System Trailers that were hardly viable on this scale in the past.
Compact footprint with full liquid cooling and integration option to third-party EMS
Dynamic drive solutions for machinery and systems
Easy to handle and operate with Supercap technology
Optical absolute encoder with integrated energy harvesting
After years of use, many traction batteries still have a residual capacity of between 70 and 80 percent. While this may be too little for further use in vehicles, some cells could still serve well in large storage systems for households, businesses, or utility providers. Shredding used modules or entire high-voltage storage systems would thus waste valuable resources.
Robust and compact with an arc-free design and extended switching cycles for a long and safe product life
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.
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.
The I/O module controls stepper motors with Modbus/TCP, Ethernet/IP, or PROFINET interface to host PC, PLC or PAC
Variable speed motor platform to upgrade inefficient direct online induction motors
Addition to the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio mainly in the range of 24 and 48 V motors for intelligent, battery-powered drive solutions.
Event-based cameras optimise flow analysis in science and industry
By leveraging a digital twin and the AI-powered, fully automated software solution from Factor4Solutions, Stadtwerke Karlsruhe were able to reduce the annual energy consumption of the existing refrigeration system at the GartenCarée complex by 20 percent within just the first six months of operation – significantly increasing its efficiency. And the full potential is far from reached: for an entire year of operation, the utility expects energy savings of up to 40 percent.
From fertilizer to energy source of the future
The strategic collaboration aims to expand service offerings and enhance customer satisfaction for TDK-Lambda products across the EMEA region.
For proactive maintenance of air systems and detection of energy saving potentials
High-performance DAQ system for evaluation and testing in different industrial areas
High-performance with low noise and advanced communication capabilities
Robust and versatile encoders from MEGATRON optimize the intralogistics of autonomous transport vehicles. Whether with integrated CAN bus connection, locally programmable teach-in function or energy harvesting: the encoders offer maximum flexibility for the respective application.
Kollmorgen servo motors are now available with a new generation feedback device. Offered at no additional cost over erlier models, this encoder offers four times greater positioning accuracy and uses energy-harvesting technology to track absolute multi-turn positioning even when the system is powered off.
The main goal of this cooperation is to develop a future ready gearmotors based on ultra-high efficiency EM-A series motors. By combining effort together with Tramec, Mitsubishi Electric is expanding its product range with components for customers seeking high-end drive solutions and improved energy efficiency.
On 22 May, IEN Europe editor Kay Petermann was invited to attend the press conference and official opening of the new JUMO plant in Fulda, Germany.
Integrated solution saves up to 40 % length
Decarbonising industrial activities is key to mitigating climate change – but what happens to the carbon dioxide (CO2) we capture? Permanent sequestration can be difficult and expensive: so what if the captured CO2 could be reused to create a value stream? Whether you choose carbon capture and storage (CCS) or utilisation (CCUS), filtration technology plays a central role in achieving a high-quality end product.
