Design engineers and systems integrators benefit from considerably shorter development times and gain significantly more flexibility. As a result, the modules open up a whole range of designing Smart HMIs.

Different industrial PC hardware increases the administrative costs. The more applications that can be implemented on one hardware platform, the better. With the Convertible Display System (CDS), CINCOZE offers an one-for-all solution that allows hardware consolidation and flexibility.

The Radiant Touch (distributed by Printec-DS Keyboard) is one of the most innovative touch monitors currently available. With a transparency of 38 percent, viewers can see both, the real objects behind the display and the digital information on the screen perfectly.

Plug-and-play from sensor to data dashboard. Condition monitoring (CM) has long been known as a method for ensuring high availability of machines and plants by means of remote monitoring of parameters relevant to the operations. CM is increasingly becoming a key component of industry 4.0 business models. An example is the CM solution designed by Schildknecht AG, for radio data transmission and IIoT solutions.

Ice cubes. A shot of rum. Stir in the cola. Preferably add a slice of lime. And voilà: the Cuba Libre is ready. But on the rooftop terrace of the TownHouse Duomo Hotel in Milan, the drink is not mixed by a bartender, but rather by a robot. With “Toni”, a KUKA robot from the KR AGILUS series, visitors can order their drink via app – and then enjoy it freshly prepared a few minutes later. “Toni” merely has a few problems with the small talk.

CONEC has expanded its product portfolio of overmolded M12x1 connectors to include versions with colored plastic coupling elements. The connectors are suitable for applications in the industrial, chemical and food sectors as well as in agricultural, construction machinery and municipal technology.

Siwarex WP351 is Siemens’ newest solution for intelligent weighing automation. Measuring 20 millimeters width by 65 millimeters height, the module is one of the smallest weighing electronics units available.

With more than 1,100 exhibitors, embedded world takes place annually in Nuremberg and is one of the most important trade fairs for embedded hardware and presents the latest developments in this segment. As a specialized manufacturer and value-added distributor for industrial IT, hardware and software, BRESSNER Technology will present a wide range of innovative embedded hardware in hall 1, booth 341.

The BML absolute magnetic encoder in the SGA series stands out in any application where high absolute accuracy of position and end-of-travel is required. Comprehensive diagnostics functions ensure reliable operation and more efficient maintenance. With its Drive-Cliq interface the Balluff measuring system can also be perfectly integrated into Siemens controller environments. Siemens has certified the system accordingly.

Fully networked systems with intelligent sensors and actuators place extremely high demands on the power supply. Applications in the manufacturing industry, process engineering or wind farms all have one thing in common: they need a reliable power supply for their controllers, sensors and actuators. To meet this need Weidmüller has developed modular, communication-enabled power management solutions in a range of performance classes.

The ARCUS TITAN-SVX-CR (distributed by Dynetics) is a hybrid IC version of the TITAN servo motor technology in a compact package with innovative motion analytics – ideal for customized OEM applications. Together with NPM's Commander Hybrid Module, compact motion control solutions up to four axes are possible.

KINEXON implements intelligent navigation for driverless vehicles with the Kontron KBox. Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things are changing production and logistics processes in the long term. In the future, objects will be networked and interact automatically in all areas. In order to guarantee smooth processes, detailed position and status data must be generated and analyzed. KINEXON, located in Munich, Germany, has developed KINEXON Brain, an intelligent solution based on an IoT...

Compact connection solutions are required for maximum flexibility in device development. CONEC therefore offers a comprehensive range of connectors of various sizes and contact layouts for automatic production processes, for example A-, B-, D-, P-, X-coded SMT/THR insulators and socket housings in sizes M8x1/M12x1.

No matter if it’s a flashlight or a Tesla: They don’t work without a battery. maxon recently started a small but excellent workshop for manufacturing lithium-ion battery packs.

High brightness is a big requirement for tablets to be legible even in direct sunlight. BRESSNER has specifically designed its new mobile terminals to meet such high demands for industrial use in warehousing, logistics and transportation management.
