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.
Eight cores unlock advanced virtualization potential
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.
The grand opening, which took place on the 23rd of April, reinforces the commitment to support European innovation while expanding the presence in Western Europe.
Monitored changeover is an opportunity to optimise machines, reduce sources for potential errors and making them intuitive and quick to operate.
Margo is a new open standard initiative for interoperability that will address key roadblocks to digital transformation. The initiative is hosted by the Linux Foundation and driven by a founding group of industrial automation solution providers, including ABB Process Automation and ABB Machine Automation (B&R)
Cooling systems are crucial parts of industrial facilities, and an efficient cooling tower is of critical importance for the performance and durability of the facility

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...
Regal Rexnord, announces that the LEESON brand of Regal Rexnord will expand significantly as Marathon® NEMA® AC induction motors below 182T frame size are welcomed into the LEESON products family.
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.

To meet net zero CO2 emission goals, the building sector needs to modernize its communication infrastructure. This article shows how single-pair Ethernet, specifically 10BASE-T1L, enables the easy retrofitting of buildings using legacy links like RS-485 to improve digitization, enable automation, improve security, and substantially lower energy consumption to achieve greater sustainability.

With the rapid advancements in technology, there is increasing consumer demand for innovative, smart, and connected products that need to get to market more quickly, cost effectively and sustainably. Today, manufacturers must deliver on these expectations as they deal with increasing design and production complexity, as well as global supply-chain issues that impact time-to-market.
With safety-related direction of rotation monitoring
With its radar imager, Balluff scans through packages for completeness, integrity, and foreign objects. Customers can benefit from efficient, in-line quality control at the end of the line.
Collaborative robots, or cobots, are making their presence felt in ever more applications, working alongside humans wherever production requires the decision making and discrimination abilities of humans, combined with unceasing production, dexterity and precision of cobots.
Smart connectors facilitate the remote digital monitoring of installations. TE Connectivity (TE) and tacterion have partnered to develop these cutting-edge components. The first joint steps involve designing outstanding connectors for modular machines used in smart factories. Taking into account early customer feedback, the portfolio will undergo continuous expansion and enhancement.
An interview with Jonas Trautmann, Global Product Marketing Manager at ABB about the value of data and how to structure it.
Today, the majority of consumer goods and everyday items are made from petroleum-based plastics. In Germany alone, around six million tonnes of plastic waste is generated every year. About half of this is mechanically recycled into new materials; the rest is used for energy recovery. The incineration of this waste results in the release of CO2, a greenhouse gas. It is therefore important to keep more plastics in the material cycle for climate and environmental reasons. Eight Fraunhofer Institutes are developing new ideas and processes to significantly improve the mechanical recycling rate of plastics as part of the Waste4Future flagship project.
