An OPC UA machine connection in combination with a powerful MES from Proxia allows Ostlangenberg Fertigungstechnik to record all relevant machine and operating data from its machining centers and visualize it in real time.

The Euromicron subsidiary Elabo, a specialist in electronic workstation and test systems, offers solutions for 4.0 implementation based on the Elution factory software - from the experimental phase at individual workstations to fully networked production.

Under the motto "Connected to your needs" chosen for EMO Hannover 2019, GF Machining Solutions will present digital solutions that enable customers to track the performance of their machines and workshops, automate processes and connect their machines to ERP and MES systems.

Condition monitoring of networked systems is challenging. The sensor and information fusion methods of inIT allow simple automatic monitoring of the health status of technical systems.
The boundaries between IT and operational technology, or OT for short, are becoming increasingly blurred in the course of digitalization. The goal is also more flexible production, but this also requires a more flexible infrastructure.
Modern capacitive buttons can do more than their mechanical predecessors. They are extremely robust and durable and can take on additional tasks similar to a touch panel.
For digitalization to be successful, people and technology must work together smoothly. When selecting the technology, certain requirements must be taken into account.

The Kistler Group is expanding its Industry 4.0 offering. An important step is the change of name from IOS Gesellschaft für innovative Optimiersoftware mbH to Kistler Aachen GmbH.
