Against the backdrop of cost pressure and a shortage of skilled workers, manufacturers of cylindrical and non-cylindrical grinding machines, tool grinding machines for cutting and machining tools, surface grinding machines, grinding, polishing and hollowing tools as well as clamping technology, filter technology and grinding oils, among others, presented their approaches to resource optimization at Grinding Hub.
Supply Chain Act and new EU directive
Business associations complain that the German Supply Chain Act is too bureaucratic, and now an EU directive for sustainability reports is coming. The German government promises fewer obligations.
Feed-in meter and energy management
The Energy-Hero from Austrian company M-Tec combines energy meters for up to 65 A and energy management in a single device, offering a comprehensive solution for monitoring and optimizing energy consumption.
Talent management in the manufacturing...
There is a lack of qualified personnel in large parts of the economy, and the shortage of skilled workers is now one of the biggest business risks for companies. The reasons for this can also be found in the manufacturing companies themselves, as personnel development only played a subordinate role here for a long time, if at all.
Simus Systems is launching the "Interoperable data for the digital twin" initiative for companies that want to make their data fit for the digital twin. The service includes a data check in a pilot phase, individual optimization workshops and quality assurance. The Simus Classmate software suite provides the tools for this.
Together with Opteran Technologies, Safelog is implementing a new type of localization technology. This is intended to outperform existing systems such as LiDAR or methods such as SLAM in terms of robustness, efficiency and flexibility. The localization method is based on the simulation of insect brains.
