Automation and networking are driving the demand for labeling. In the automotive sector, it ensures traceability down to the smallest screw, in logistics it ensures delivery. Labels indicate performance data and usage.

Würth Elektronik offers many variants or operating modes with low energy consumption to use combinations of sensors and wireless modules in low-maintenance, decentralized IoT applications.
The VR PluraView monitor from Schneider Digital has a VR system for working in virtual reality environments as well as stereoscopic visualization in construction and design.

According to Turck, the TBEN-L-PLC is the first IP67 controller for industrial use that has a Codesys PLC on board, enables a direct cloud connection and can communicate simultaneously via various Ethernet protocols thanks to multiprotocol technology.

Networked machines, automation and real-time process monitoring characterize the smart factory. Edge computing plays a central role at the interface between IoT and the cloud.

Increasing hygiene and safety requirements in many areas are driving the need for contactless operating technologies. Capacitive sensor buttons with touch function play an important role here.

The new version 6.0 of the Remote HMI firmware for thin clients from R. Stahl is optimally tailored to the current requirements of virtual network structures in the process industry.

The Airlink system is designed to permanently record and
-conditions of vacuum pumps and compressors, evaluate them and provide the relevant information.

With Airlink, Becker has developed a solution with which sensor values from pumps and compressors can be analyzed directly in the component. This provides the operator with maintenance information in real time.
