ABB has added cloud-enabled functions to its programming and simulation software. With the new RobotStudio Cloud, individuals and teams can work together on robot cell designs in real time

With i³ Control, Yaskawa presented a completely new automation platform for the first time in spring. Now the company is officially launching the first products.

Data generated by automation systems often remains unused. An edge-to-cloud IIoT solution makes it possible to access this valuable information.

Baumüller relies on OPC UA as an interface for the transfer of data between different participants, such as visualization or edge controllers, and has developed the ProDataX software tool for communication via the control technology to the drive level.

Advanced robotics applications
Artia is a prototype developed jointly by ArtiMinds Robotics and Siemens that connects the ArtiMinds Robot Programming Suite and Simatic Step 7. The aim of the software connector is to minimize the effort involved in implementing advanced robotics applications by automatically creating a communication interface between the robot controller and the PLC.
The company AWL-Techniek is a pioneer in the modularization of production lines. Turck supported the Dutch machine manufacturer with a decentralized safety concept for the implementation of the modular concept.

Comprehensive automation, drive and control solutions from a single source define Yaskawa's presence in addition to the PLC - from the process level to interfaces and controllers to application-specific drive technology and robot-based applications.

Baumüller has implemented the areas of data access, security and methods within the standardized OPC UA interface and provides an OPC UA server for its controllers with the ProDataX software tool.

Tox Pressotechnik is presenting the new electric manual workstation Tox-FlexPress Compact at Motek. At the trade fair, the experts will also be showing what servo press systems have to do with smart production.
