TQ has announced the availability of a new embedded module for mid-August.

With DuraSense, Schaeffler has developed a new monitoring solution for linear guideways.
The goal of predictive maintenance is clear: the number of unplanned machine downtimes should be as close to zero as possible. However, achieving this goal is not so easy in practice.

Potato specialist Schne-frost commissioned HaRo to implement a fully automated conveyor system. This involved solving a number of challenges.
Fully automatic 6-sided complete machining
With the system-capable modular concept of the gripping centric clamp, a medium-sized machine and tool manufacturer realizes fully automatic 6-sided complete machining with robot support.
New AI methods for picking robots

Festo is conducting research in the FLAIROP project together with KIT and partners from Canada to make picking robots more intelligent using distributed AI methods. To this end, they are investigating how training data from several stations, several plants or even companies can be used without participants having to disclose sensitive company data.

Leybold has introduced the Dryvac DV 500 and DV 800 screw vacuum pumps. The pumps compress dry, i.e. without operating fluid in the compression chamber.

Transmitting industrial data from fieldbus systems in hard-to-reach places without loss and with maximum reliability also works without the need for cabling.

Safety is a particularly important requirement for large systems. Downtimes caused by overloads can quickly become expensive. This is where R+W safety clutches can help.

... is better than repairing damage. Predictive maintenance is therefore one of the drivers of digital transformation in the manufacturing industry. Networking is important, but more important are computing power and intelligent, adaptive algorithms at the edge, on the machine - and technology is developing rapidly in this area.
