Engineering: Manufacturer, reports, information at INDUSTRIAL Production

The construction of the future

Karl Osti, Senior Industry Manager Manufacturing at Autodesk, talks in an interview about prototypes, simulation software, the role of the designer and current trends in manufacturing.

Cloud and edge solutions

Facets of the digital transformation

The integration of cloud and edge solutions in cyber-physical production systems opens up new potential in automation. Among other things, research focuses on economic solutions for the challenges of digitalization.

Echo sonography

Level measurement with ultrasound

Non-contact, non-intrusive level measurement in liquid containers, i.e. without direct contact with the medium, is required in many applications in laboratory and medical technology, the pharmaceutical and food industries.

Factory automation

Mechatronic platforms

The factory of the future will be more intelligent, more flexible, more networked and more software-based than it is today. The new mechatronic platform from Bosch Rexroth combines linear technology components with electronics and software.

Industrial PCs

All tools on board

The advantages of edge applications are well known. However, a traditional PLC cannot pre-process the data locally. IoT applications can be easily implemented with edge PCs including pre-installed software tools.

Security in the IIoT

Industrial Security 4.0

Edge computing has many advantages for the manufacturing industry: IoT devices, machines and systems benefit from low latency, and should the internet fail, IoT devices continue to function. However, networking the production environment creates vulnerabilities that cannot be easily closed with edge computing.

Fujitsu at the Hannover Messe 2021

Digital integration of supply and production chains

At Hannover Messe Digital Edition 2021, Fujitsu will be demonstrating the central role that digital integration of the supply and engineering chains plays in faster product development, better customer service and cost savings.

Lenze at the Hannover Messe Digital

Applications of the digital twin

In the future, the digital twin will be as commonplace as the provision of data sheets on the website is today. This is why Lenze has been researching the digital twin for several years and is now taking further steps towards its application.
