Compact designs with a wide range of electrical parameters
OPC UA is widely used as a data exchange standard that bridges the gap between OT and IT. A key part of this standard consists of extensible information models and companion specifications. However, many solutions based on OPC UA fail to exploit the potential of these information models and companion specifications. This editorial explains the benefits offered by OPC UA information models and how information models interact with the other components in an IoT solution.

Maximum productivity requires not only precision manufacturing processes, but also smooth disposal of the generated waste materials. This is exactly where the new, fully automated waste disposal solution from KABELSCHLEPP Hünsborn comes in, which has just been successfully commissioned at the factory of agricultural machinery manufacturer AGCO Fendt in Asbach-Bäumenheim, Germany. The intelligent conveyor system ensures a smooth flow of materials – with minimum use of personnel and maximum efficiency.
The integration of optimized short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) lenses enables the recovery of more recyclable plastics from waste streams.
