With electromobility, the number of lithium-ion batteries that need to be moved, dismantled or tested during vehicle servicing, take-back campaigns or recycling is growing. However, weighing around 700 kg, these power storage units place high demands on handling.
Industrial companies are increasingly being targeted by cyber attacks - the interfaces between IT and OT systems are particularly at risk. The article sheds light on why endpoint protection (EDR) usually forms the basis of effective security strategies and how network detection (NDR) can usefully complement these.

Automation through the use of robots offers numerous advantages. One is often overlooked: Robots can make a valuable contribution to sustainability, for example by helping to reduce emissions. However, this requires the entire robot life cycle to be designed for sustainability. But what does a holistic approach to sustainability in robotics look like?
The sensor supplier Baumer is expanding its position in force and strain measurement and acquiring the Swiss company X-Sensors.
At EMO, Kärcher will be presenting industrial extraction solutions, stationary high-pressure systems and cleaning robots.
Coscom will be represented in hall 6, stand A24 (joint stand "AI + Digitalization") and at Spatial's stand C37. Coscom ToolDirector VM is a modular software solution that provides holistic support for tool management.
Small and medium-sized suppliers face tough national and international competition. These companies can achieve the required flexibility in production with digitalized manufacturing and automation solutions. Financing models and after-sales service also play an important role for the necessary investments. Retrofitting is another option for modernization.

Actuators move components in a system by converting energy into physical movement. There are electric, pneumatic or hydraulic actuators that are used in various industries - from robotics to mechanical production to aerospace. August Steinmeyer, a Steinmeyer Group company, offers an efficient, clean and economical alternative to hydraulics with its ball screw drives.
Encoders increase the efficiency of servo...
Electric motors in industrial applications are responsible for more than 40 percent of global electricity consumption. With encoders from Hengstler, the efficiency of drives can be significantly increased, resulting in a significant reduction in energy costs.
Whether privately or professionally - digital communication is becoming an increasingly important part of our everyday lives. However, things are often different at schools, at least as far as the flow of information is concerned.
Just a few years ago, 3D printing was mainly used in prototype construction. This has since changed. Thanks to the use of ever-improving printers and materials, this technology can now be used to create functional components. It has now even established itself as an economical alternative in small series production. The drive experts at Groschopp also use the advantages of 3D printing.
