Automatic object detection is growing ever more sophisticated, yet the accurate detection of humans still poses unique challenges. This article explores what it is that makes humans so difficult to reliably detect, and how successfully navigating these obstacles could usher in a new era of productivity.
nokra GmbH of Baesweiler produces laser measuring systems for contactless measurement of geometric properties as an integral part of the production process. Since the objects being measured can become quite hot, effective thermal management is essential in such systems. This task is performed by extremely flat liquid-cooled heat sinks from CTX Thermal Solutions.

The climate crisis is driving demand for the electrification of transportation and energy infrastructure, which in turn is accelerating the need for more powerful and safer rechargeable batteries, including li-ion, sodium-ion, and solid-state. However, one of the key issues affecting battery quality is accurate humidity monitoring and dry control during manufacture.
Rubber abrasion on airport runways must be removed quickly and thoroughly. Together, tl traffic-lines GmbH and Maschinenbau Cernota GmbH & Co. KG have developed a cleaning process that is much more efficient than previous methods. High-precision rack and pinion gears from LEANTECHNIK play an important role in this process.

Condition monitoring - a wide-ranging area of ever-increasing importance. An increasing number of machines and systems are being equipped with measurement technology to keep a constant eye on their current status and all important operating parameters. To save time and costs during maintenance, condition-based monitoring is increasingly being installed on smaller assets.
The degree of automation can vary greatly within the same plant – from very high in the core processes to almost nonexistent in the peripherals. The effort required to wire all circulating containers, external silos, manual valves, safety – critical doors, and manhole covers to the control room would be too great. The WILSEN autonomous IoT wireless sensor node establishes a connection to isolated assets – without any cables – and closes such information gaps.
Three aspects of sensor technology are particularly important in image processing for industrial automation: performance, flexibility and usability. Simple Vision sensors meet these requirements. They are as easy to operate as optical sensors, plus they are as powerful as camera systems. Leuze offers this concept as a quick and straightforward introduction to vision technology.
Premium motors go beyond state-of-the-art energy efficiency to deliver a combination of performance, reliability and commitment to sustainability tailored to suit a wide range of industrial operations. The latest addition to the portfolio is the world’s first magnet-free motor to reach the anticipated IE6 hyper-efficiency level.
