The BMW plant in Steyr, Austria, is the BMW Group’s largest engine plant worldwide. At the facility, the top priorities are quality, efficiency and the transformation to Industry 4.0 through the implementation of digital technologies at shop floor level. To improve all three, plant managers embraced Autonomous Machine Vision, a new technology for quality inspection developed by German-Israeli company...
Advances in 3D modeling enable videoscope inspectors, used for remote visual inspection (RVI), to make more reliable measurements because they can better perceive the actual shape of the object they are measuring
The social distancing solution from Siemens based on the Real-Time Locating System (RTLS) can be the solution to keep production running without putting the safety of employees in the background
CAD models as holograms. Augmented Reality (AR) Engineering is a new approach to engineering that uses extended reality software and hardware to visualise, manipulate and create 3D CAD data in a real-world environment
For many years, plant operations teams have been using DCS, PLC, SCADA and MES technology as the tools to improve automation, alarms, analysis, and reporting. However, as automation approaches the machine level, gaps in information still remain
The abbreviation VUCA – volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity – has entered our daily life more than ever. The world is undergoing radical changes in many ways. How can companies cope with it? Agile manufacturing is part of the answer

Bonfiglioli embraced the digital transformation to be closer to its customers in the transition to Industry 4.0. Its roadmap of initiatives and projects merged into the Digital Transformation Dashboard, presented at last year’s SPS
How electrical protection devices address circuit safety in high-power systems
Digital transformation has become a buzzword, a goal that many organisations are keen to realise. Often the vision is not completely clear and the route to achieving it even less so. But the best way to succeed is to start small and build scalability
AI specialist Resolto is bringing AI directly to the machine and interpreting data there with its Scraitec platform, for example at a household appliance producer and a car manufacturer
For ABB Motion, the future is not just about having the best drives and motors in the world but is more about digital solutions
Smart technologies are extending traditional machine control architectures with more enhanced data processing, learning and decision-making capacity
Now that China is slowly getting back to normal, normality looks like a faraway lighthouse for the rest of the world hit by the virus. Dark times are on the horizon for the manufacturing industry but a rebound with no major consequences is still possible
With the advent of the Internet of Things it is now possible to predict failures and downtimes without the need to carry out unnecessary maintenance. This offers a more dynamic and controlled approach to maintenance
