TQ at the embedded world 2022

Faster start of series production with Computer-on-Module series and starter kits

TQ is presenting four versatile module series at this year's embedded world: TQMa243xL, TQMa64xxl, TQMa117xl and TQ110EB as well as a new, powerful SMARC starter kit in a practical form factor.

Welding technology

Automation helps with welding

Robotics can help small and medium-sized companies to compensate for the shortage of skilled workers in the welding industry.

Sensors

Vision sensors with a clear view

The camera-based vision sensors of the VOS series from Pepperl+Fuchs can identify, measure, align and help position objects as well as read codes and recognize texts.

Technical operating supplies

Automation in industrial and logistics facilities

Just in time for the start of the all about automation trade fair series, in which Conrad Electronic will also be taking part, the automation of mechanical and electronic processes in industrial and logistics facilities will also be the focus of the Conrad Sourcing Platform.

Sustainability

Recognizing efficient drive technology

The EU Commission's Sustainable Product Initiative aims to make a wide range of products more durable, reusable and recyclable. With the Commission's proposal of March 30, 2022, statements on the sustainability of products are to become mandatory, comparable and verifiable throughout the EU.

Assembly technology

Worker guidance for the process chain

The Bremen-based system house Armbruster has launched a fundamentally new software version of its Elam worker guidance system, which now goes far beyond assembly.

Conrad at all about automation for the first time

At all about automation, the trade fair for factory automation and the process industry, the Conrad team focuses on regional and personal contact with B2B customers, suppliers and marketplace partners.

OT and IT

Plan network structures correctly

Companies know that the end-to-end digitalization of their production facilities is essential if they are to remain competitive in the market in the future. To avoid getting in their own way, existing structures need to be rethought, new ones created and the paths to data sources opened up. Whereas the IT and OT areas were previously separate, holistic network thinking is now required. This is where the OT area can benefit from the experience of IT.

Industry 4.0

System solutions as the key

What is the best way to put digitalization concepts into practice, especially when it comes to mobile components? Nicola Magrone and Udo Marmann explain SEW-Eurodrive's modular approach, for which the company has defined its own business segment.
