Data is the raw material of the 21st century. This means that the physical world is merging with the digital world, while at the same time networking is increasing - every machine, every "thing" exchanges information with others. This has an impact on connection technologies.

Data networks in factories must be fast, real-time capable and standardized, demands Oliver Riedel, Professor at the ISW at the University of Stuttgart. But there is still some homework to be done before then. As a manufacturer of cables, Lapp is prepared for the changes.

Noax has developed a logistics terminal specifically for the needs of warehouse logistics. Based on the C12 series industrial PC, the terminal is designed to meet the requirements of industrial trucks, forklift trucks and sideloaders.
Many companies are still hesitant when it comes to implementing IoT projects. They get bogged down in technical considerations instead of focusing on what really matters.

Among other things, Ott-Jakob will be exhibiting the Power-Check 2 for monitoring the tool pull-in force of a clamping system at the AMB.
Interview with Georg Stawowy, Lapp
With Industry 4.0, the requirements for data communication in factories are growing, particularly due to real-time communication. SCOPE talks to Georg Stawowy, Director of Technology and Innovation at Lapp, about what this means for connection systems and what the future standards will be.

Desoutter is launching a new industrial smart hub on the market. The system acts as a communication center for fast and secure data transmission between WLAN screwdriving tools and the user's higher-level systems.

Smartray has presented its new Ecco 95.040 3D laser sensor. As a single sensor, it can also detect larger components in great detail - something that was previously only possible by using multiple sensors.
Hybrid cables for servo motors. Single-cable solutions for servo motors are becoming increasingly popular as they save costs and installation effort. Helukabel presented Topserv, a standard cable, in spring 2014.
