The factory should become a smart factory - but how? At Motek 2019, trade visitors will see that users already have usable and therefore future-proof solutions at their disposal.

The electronics specialist Megatron has added the two force sensors KMB51 and KMB76 to its range, which are suitable for recording forces in production as well as in monitoring or testing systems.

The IO-Key from Autosen brings sensors into the cloud via Plug&Play. A power connection or 24 V power supply is all that is needed, no further hardware or software is required.

With the O200 series, Baumer wants to raise the bar for miniature optical sensors.

Balluff demonstrates solutions for object detection, identification and quality assurance with its machine vision portfolio. The optoelectronic mini-sensors of the BOS Q08M and BOS R01 series require little space.
Process monitoring in robotics
With solutions based on piezoelectric sensors, Kistler can efficiently monitor industrial robots and further optimize assembly and handling processes. Thanks to miniaturized and integrated systems, robots will become more precise, more flexible, more efficient and safer in the future.
In the future, sensors and sensor systems will play a key role in manufacturing. The focus will be on smart sensors that provide signal preparation and processing.

Turck launched the sale of pressure sensors from the newly developed PS+ series at the Hannover Messe. The robust sensors are the first products in a modular fluid sensor family.
Manufacturing companies that introduce Industry 4.0 processes are increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks due to the growing complexity of their IT environment. Centralized device and process management helps to maintain an overview of the increasing number of end devices.

From 7 to 10 May in Stuttgart, the trade fair for quality assurance will be showcasing digitalized systems for the real-time visualization of measurement data, making production even more efficient.
