Through a unique partnership GN is launching a new production test & measurement platform that delivers increased efficiency, flexibility and a reduced environmental impact.
October marks the 50th year since ABB’s Low Voltage Variable Speed Drive was first brought to market. Developed by Finnish company Strömberg, which went on to become part of ABB, VSD have revolutionized industrial energy consumption and decarbonization
Quiet operation and high-speed performance enhances industrial machine efficiency
Dynamic drive solutions for machinery and systems
In order to save costs and time, more and more industrial companies are focussing on the possibility of monitoring and controlling devices and systems remotely. Web and cloud-based services are ideal for this: an internet connection makes it possible to control and operate industrial systems as if you were on site and long journeys by service personnel are no longer necessary.
Ensure accurate measurements and safe processes by overcoming the challenges of precision flow metering
Upgrades with new CPUs, I/O modules, and couplers for enhanced control and flexibility
Encapsulated supercapacitor units for industrial environments
Efficient process and compressed air generation
Siemens and leading machine builders agree on groundbreaking data alliance
High power in compact, low-noise package

The new class of controller from Trio combine high-performance motion control over EtherCAT with logic and I/O expansion to enable faster, simpler machine development.
Digitalization is opening up new possibilities in robotics and mechanical engineering. Networked ecosystems, intelligent components and smart services are the key to unlocking huge potential in terms of productivity, efficiency, process reliability, maintenance and availability. Gearboxes play a special role in this. Nabtesco, the world's largest manufacturer of precision gearboxes, knows the challenges and offers unique solutions for the digital transformation of industry.
Körber is expanding its portfolio with AI-based pick-and-place technology from Sereact. The partnership focuses on integrating robotic solutions for single item picking into automated production and distribution solutions. An initial joint project with a German mechanical engineering company is already in progress.
David Hawley, ABB’s Global Head of Sales for IEC Low Voltage Motors, notes that while superior performance, reliability & efficiency are essential factors influencing electric motor selection, availability is also key to achieving ambitious energy goals

Humanoids are considered to be the next big thing in robotics: China has set out specific targets for its plans to mass-produce humanoids, tech companies in the US and Europe are announcing significant funding. The vision is to create general-purpose robots based on human motion mechanics. The International Federation of Robotics has released a new positioning paper that provides valuable insights about trends, opportunities, and potential limitations of humanoids.
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.
To improve efficiency of its stamping processes for future production runs, Ford Mexico worked with Altair to explore the possibility of using Altair's machine learning and predictive analytics solution to support its business objectives.
