With very fast processes, requirements for the pyrometers used for temperature measurement are especially onerous.
Typical examples are plastics processing machinery, such as those used for blow-molding PET bottles, which work on very short cycle times.

Another application is the monitoring of rail vehicles, where the temperature of the wheelset bearings are measured as the train wheels pass the pyrometer, to be able to detect components running hot in good time.

Optris now offers the new high-speed pyrometer CT...

To enable a robot to act in a situation- and goal-oriented manner, an industrial PC is usually required to process image data. But there is another way: the intelligent, vision app-based IDS NXT cameras are able to carry out the image processing for localising pre-trained objects themselves and trigger commands such as "gripping" and "placing". This makes a PC for "pick and place" unnecessary and enables applications such as the correct positioning of tool parts in a toolbox.

The all-in-one AI system IDS NXT ocean is designed for completely new...

The integration of the industry protocol OPC UA is another milestone for the IDS NXT platform. The intelligent IDS NXT cameras can now communicate with machines and controllers in the same standardised language to exchange tasks and results instantly.

The implementation of this key technology enables the integration of smart cameras into factory automation without the need for additional hardware or programming.

This is unique in the market. Standardised communication via OPC UA also creates the foundation for "plug and produce" of...

UniStream ‘Cloud’ controllers make it easy for OEMs & Machine Builders to enter the world of IIoT & Big Data - without relying on Cloud /IT professionals or paying for data storage. 

The value of IIoT, Big Data, and Cloud platforms are clear - yet many OEMs lag behind in integrating it into machines, worried about set-up costs, the need for IT/Cloud experts, time pressures, etc.

By embedding a 5-year subscription to UniCloud, the new IIoT platform, into UniStream ‘Cloud’ controllers, Unitronics provides a simple,...
