Memory: Manufacturer, reports, information at INDUSTRIAL Production

Fanless and powerful

Computer platforms used in image processing, kiosk machines, HMI panel PCs or factory automation systems often have to be very powerful.

RWTH Aachen

Guidelines for predictive maintenance

Together with partners, the WZL at RWTH Aachen University has developed a generic guideline for the successful application of predictive maintenance. It is now available for download.

Manufacture spare parts

Milling stand system in maintenance

The maintenance of hydropower plants is time-consuming, as there is usually no well-stocked spare parts warehouse. To ensure operational readiness, entire components sometimes have to be manufactured from scratch.

Data centers in times of Corona

Functioning internet connections are extremely important, especially in times of corona. In this interview, Dr. Gerald Berg from Rosenberger OSI explains what strategy companies should pursue in order to be well prepared for such situations in the future.

M2M communication in production

Self-organizing production

Process optimization, flexibility, networking: Industry 4.0 promises many advantages. However, this is also accompanied by increasing demands on PLC systems for plant and mechanical engineering.

Industrial Data Fabric

Data hub for production

Uniform access to distributed and heterogeneous data sources is a key to the adaptable factory. To avoid dependencies, this key must remain in the hands of the manufacturing company. This can be achieved with a separate architecture layer that creates a uniform data space across value chains, locations and clouds.

Interview: Secure cloud storage

Off to the cloud - with security

Data storage in the cloud is becoming increasingly popular. Nevertheless, many companies have reservations when it comes to entrusting what may be their most valuable property to a third party. Eckhard Schaumann, Country Sales Manager DACH at RSA Security, explains in an interview the advantages of such storage solutions and why concerns are unnecessary if certain rules are adhered to.
