Cloud: Manufacturer, reports, information at INDUSTRIAL Production

Crate.io and M&M Software work together

Crate.io and M&M Software enter into a strategic partnership. The aim is to market scalable, digital infrastructure solutions for production.

Vertical order picker

Efficient on the second level

Higher pick rates, ergonomic working, better protection for employees: the V08 vertical order picker from Linde enables regular order picking up to a reach height of 2.80 meters without placing unnecessary strain on employees.

Simulation technologies

Why you should focus more on simulation

The use of simulation has undergone rapid development in recent years. This will continue in 2020, as software will undergo decisive changes in many areas this year and have a significant impact on the industry.

Process transparency

How gripping systems contribute to condition monitoring

Condition monitoring systems detect changes and anomalies in the production process. They monitor the stability of the production process and ensure consistent quality control. Gripping systems and clamping devices are becoming increasingly important in this context.

Process industry

Ethernet communication for hazardous areas

With the first Zone 2 Ethernet gateway for the excom I/O system from Turck, process data can be transferred to IT systems for analysis and evaluation at sufficient speed via a parallel data channel for the first time.

IT security

10 rules for a safe home office

Working from home entails IT security risks, among other things. Hackers are increasingly exploiting the current uncertainty. The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has sounded the alarm.

Interview with Autosen

Sensor data: The key to the cloud

The IoT ecosystem io-key brings sensor data to the cloud. Based on open standards and a plug-and-play approach, the sensor data is made available in the cloud without any programming effort or intervention in the IT infrastructure. Philipp Boehmert from Autosen explains how this works in practice.

Pilot project by Currax and Siemens

Box sends engine data to the cloud for analysis

Drive specialist Currax and Siemens have launched a pilot project for Simotics Connect 400. The connectivity module enables operating data to be forwarded directly to a cloud-based app in future and promises increased efficiency and a longer service life for components.

Artificial intelligence

From data to cognitive knowledge

Digitalization influences the success of companies. It is linked to disruptive concepts such as IoT, deep learning/machine learning, data analysis, big data, cloud and edge computing and thus to the all-encompassing artificial intelligence (AI).
