Pre-processing and radio transmission of control data
Transmitting industrial data from fieldbus systems in hard-to-reach places without loss and with maximum reliability also works without the need for cabling.

IIoT platform for Unitronics PLC
Spectra introduces UniCloud, a complete no-code IIoT platform for manufacturers and operators of devices, machines and vending machines.

After two years of abstinence, the Hannover Messe is to be held as a physical trade fair again next year from April 25 to 29.

A collaborative project is putting three use cases into industrial practice: autonomous AGV fleet management, intelligent AGV processes and VR for controlling self-driving vehicles.
TSN can be used to optimize production methods, increase productivity and also collect and process data for predictive maintenance in real time.
The combination of edge and cloud in a common architecture enables modern production with real-time components and big data analysis. At the same time, this structure enables the flexible use of networked robots.

The IB836 3.5" board series from Spectra is suitable for compact and fanless embedded solutions with high performance requirements.

The data from IoT-enabled components is stored and processed in the cloud or at the edge. Among other things, a joint project aims to improve processes and increase efficiency as well as integrate a new standard for data collection in intralogistics.
The advantages of edge applications are well known. However, a traditional PLC cannot pre-process the data locally. IoT applications can be easily implemented with edge PCs including pre-installed software tools.

Thilo Döring, Managing Director of HMS Industrial Networks GmbH, deals with questions such as the best way to achieve a networked factory and the optimal technology for this on a daily basis. We asked him where German industry stands when it comes to digitalization and how it can move forward.
