The plan also consolidates the EDM Pavilion into the Metal Cutting Pavilion, which has been renamed the Metal Removal Pavilion.
Jenoptik’s Automation business together with Prodomax Automation Ltd., a member of the Jenoptik Group, have received several orders for products which contribute to making automotive manufacturing more efficient.
The HARTING Technology Group is setting the course for the future with the commissioning of a new inspection robot for inter-car connection systems.
Train travelers now expect high-performance Internet access: They want to surf privately during the train journey or use the compartment as a mobile workstation.
With a view to achieving future economic success, the process of networking and digitalizing value chains offers plant engineers significant opportunities for boosting their productivity.
Just in time for summer, Rittal has launched its popular Summer Cooling Promo on its best-selling CSA-approved enclosure air conditioners and fans!
Cloud applications offer a variety of new possibilities. These possibilities can be extensive when one cog interlocks with the next across disciplines. Or, in more concrete terms regarding the EPLAN and Heitec example, when engineering and maintenance “talk to one another”.
The new F199 from Pepperl+Fuchs is optimized for high-accuracy inclination measurement. Like other inclination sensors, the F199 provides measurement feedback of the angle tilt of machines or machine elements relative to gravitational force.
Pepperl+Fuchs introduces the new UCC*-50GK series ultrasonic sensor. Only two sensor versions are required for covering a wide range of applications. Intended for distance measurement, the UCC*-50GK uses ultrasonic pulses to measure the distance to the target and reports information through one of three sensor outputs.
ABB Ability Data Analytics Platform is a new digital solution for iron, steel and other metals manufacturing customers that helps customers to visualize every single piece of data across the value chain, so they can make real time decisions on planning and plant wide operations.
The consistent commitment of creating an attractive working environment for its employees is a deciding factor for Phoenix Contact once again being awarded “Top Employer for Engineers” and being in the top of the overall rankings.
In order to obtain a uniform, cross-manufacturer communication standard, Phoenix Contact and other companies support the OPC Foundation in its efforts to harmonize and standardize OPC UA up to the field level. Phoenix Contact will be part of the OPC Foundation’s working groups and thus define a new standard for every device in OT – from sensors to actuators through to controllers.
Phoenix Contact will provide you with support as your reliable partner in the optimization of your processes in control cabinet manufacturing.
Industrial workers can now more easily use the data from their equipment to predict production issues and improve processes with their existing automation and control skill set. The new FactoryTalk Analytics LogixAI module, formerly known as Project Sherlock, uses artificial intelligence (AI) to detect production anomalies and alert workers so they can investigate or intervene, as necessary.
