5G: Manufacturer, reports, information at INDUSTRIAL Production

Hannover Messe 2023

AGVs and AMR are becoming more complex

Industry 4.0 and Intralogistics 4.0. are changing the production environment and thus have an impact on AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots). In order to allow the industry to follow the trends with fast, cost-efficient development, Markus Fenn and Prof. Dr. Stefan May have developed Eduard, a teaching and prototyping platform that can be used to map the current trends. Markus Fenn talks about this in an interview with Andreas Mühlbauer.

Systems and customized solutions

Voice control and industrial communication

At embedded world 2023, the Hy-Line Group presented innovations and systems through to complete customer-specific solutions with hardware and software development.

Hannover Messe 2023

Focus on climate-neutral production

Hannover Messe 2023 will be held under the motto "Industrial Transformation - Making the Difference". As part of a joint roundtable with the VDMA, Dr. Jochen Köckler, Managing Director of Deutsche Messe, presented this year's focus topics at the end of January.

Digital transformation

Automated conveyor technology

The increasing automation of logistics processes in production and intralogistics is and will remain a decisive competitive factor for companies and a guarantee of their resilience. Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) combined with stationary conveyor technology and automated warehouse solutions help to increase efficiency and also offer an easy and resource-efficient entry into the digital transformation thanks to improved process transparency (data and process mining).

Embedded Computing

The tiger among processors

Since the move towards the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 has picked up speed, processor boards and modules must be able to process exponentially growing amounts of data.

5G smartphone

Maintenance also in the Ex environment

i.safe Mobile has launched the IS540.1 smartphone. It is approved for ATEX and IECEx Zone 1/21, supports 5G frequency bands and Wi-Fi 6.

Mobile robots

Strong together

The Institute of Assembly Technology at the University of Hanover is working on the collaboration of several mobile robots for the assembly of large components.

Innovations at the Motek

Workpiece carrier system and logistics control

Stein Automation has put together an exciting product package for this year's Motek: The specialists for workpiece carrier systems will be presenting their new 5G logistics controller and the Stein 400 workpiece carrier system at the international trade fair for production and assembly automation.

Interview

Production 4.0 is alive

Production 4.0 is more than just a buzzword. Christian Wolf, Managing Director of Hans Turck, explains how this works in practice in an interview with Andreas Mühlbauer.
