Matlab library for simulation and control software
ACS Motion Control has added a Matlab library to its SPii-Plus ADK Suite motion control software. The Matlab numerical simulation functions can be used to shorten the time-to-market for applications with ACS control systems.

New software engine for material flow systems
Wegener + Stapel Fördertechnik will be focusing on a conveyor loop that combines a large number of the latest system components.
High-speed labeling solutions
Bluhm Systeme presented its labeling solutions and control software at this year's BrauBeviale in Nuremberg.
Movi-C modular automation system
Automated throughout
Fibro Läpple Technology uses drives from SEW-Eurodrive in its gantry solutions. The company is now using drive and control technology from Bruchsal throughout its new modular gantry system for the first time.

With the Edge Controller to the Smart Factory
Keba shows how digital transformation can succeed with machines already in the field. A controller, the core component of the Kecontrol Flexcore automation system, serves as a bridge between machine automation and the IT level.
Simulation reduces production time
In order to increase the production volume in the same area with the same personnel resources, the plant manufacturer Homag Group wanted to be able to test the machines to be produced extensively before they were commissioned.
Requirements for autonomous vehicles
On the road to autonomous driving
The race for fully autonomous cars is in full swing. Simulations have become increasingly important as a more cost-effective alternative to the practical driving tests required to prove safety in order to successfully complete autonomous vehicle programs.
Open development platform for robot programming

The number of service robots is growing continuously. Depending on the application, however, the robots need to be reprogrammed or adapted. The SeRoNet project shows how open platforms can help with implementation.

Robot systems for hostile environments
If chemically contaminated areas have to be decontaminated or nuclear facilities dismantled, workers are exposed to health risks. In future, robotic systems will carry out such decontamination work. The new Robdekon competence center, which is being funded by the BMBF with twelve million euros, is working to make this a reality.
