Configuration: Manufacturer, reports, information at INDUSTRIAL Production

Rittal produces in the Smart Factory

Rittal is focusing on Industry 4.0 at its new plant in Haiger in central Hesse, where it has made the largest investment in the company's history at 250 million euros. To coincide with the launch of the new AX compact enclosures and KX small enclosures, the family-owned company is setting up production according to 4.0 criteria.

Interaction on the machine

Weidmüller is showcasing its automation and digitalization portfolio in Hanover. Stand-alone machines, for example carton erectors, can perform their function independently and without being connected to a higher-level system and can therefore be used variably.

Autonomous control

Automate stand-alone machines

With the modular u-mation hardware and software portfolio from Weidmüller, decentralized control applications for stand-alone machines can be implemented efficiently and conveniently.

Product premiere at the Hannover Messe

Rittal is presenting new compact enclosures and small enclosures in Hanover. The new AX and KX not only offer simpler and faster assembly, but also greater flexibility and safety. They have been further developed into a system solution for Industry 4.0.

Digitization

Design more comfortably

Digitization offensive for handling systems. Schunk wants to noticeably shorten the design and commissioning process for handling systems. Various tools are interlinked for this purpose.

Gripkit technology

Smart handling solution for the robot

With the Gripkit technology, Weiss Robotics offers a universal platform with which smart gripper modules can be seamlessly integrated into robot applications.

Rittal at the Hannover Messe

Digital process chains, new compact ovens and smart factory

The intelligent integration of value-added processes is the key to the digital transformation of industry. At the Hannover Messe, Rittal will be demonstrating new perspectives for value creation through needs-based system expansions, digital process chains and suitable infrastructure.

Standards

The future of manufacturing is Plug & Produce

Standards ensure greater flexibility and openness in production. There are already standardized interfaces for control, recipe and product data across manufacturers, and with the concept of administration shell and machine skills, Lenze shows what the future could look like.

Handling technology

Smart vacuum technology keeps processes running

Piab is presenting five new products at the Hannover Messe, including the Pilift Smart vacuum lifter, the Picobot cobot gripper, the Pisoftgrip vacuum gripper technology and a new generation of the Picompact Smart main ejector. Some solutions will also be on show in action at the Swedish CoLab stand.
