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 Danish robot manufacturer Mobil Industrial Robots, or MiR for short, is launching its most powerful collaborative transport robot to date, the MiR1000.

High speeds over long travel distances are a particular challenge for energy chain systems. Igus has therefore developed a slide rail made of high-performance plastics. Users can rely on the EC.T sensor for monitoring.
The Sorrir project aims to make the Internet of Things more reliable and secure. The universities of Ulm and Passau are working on the BMBF-funded project with industrial partners Innowerk-IT and bwcon.

Networking. Eckelmann is breaking new ground in the automation of material flow and production control systems with its Factoryware control system framework.


SIL 3/PL e compliant absolute positioning with a single sensor. With the latest generation of positioning systems, the Mannheim-based company has again succeeded in developing a pioneering solution; for the very first time, the safePXV system provides SIL 3/PL e compliant safe absolute positioning using only one sensor.
Communication networks in the factory
Sensors, machines, robots, tools - everything in the factory communicates with everything else. Lapp provides the high-performance communication infrastructure. This includes cables that can be quickly assembled, robust switches and a number of other innovations.
