Let's repair more instead of disposing!
A statement from Daniel Büchle, CEO of AfB social and green IT, on the 'right to repair'
The EU has made its decision: The 'right to repair' becomes a reality. As part of the IT refurbishment
community, I am delighted about the positive changes that this regulation could bring for us: Easier
repairability, longer useful life and therefore less electronic waste.

Communicative Compact PLC
PLC controllers mostly work as “black boxes” in the control cabinet. The various sensors and actuators connected
do their jobs with no noise whatsoever. Gaining insight into what’s going on involves a great deal of effort, to
a greater or lesser extent. The new PLC mini control unit range from DISPLAY VISIONS is particularly
communicative: the controller itself has a colour touchscreen display, and addresses up to 50 remote satellite
displays – to allow supervising, setup and completely...

Data-driven Battery Production
Digital automation concepts for battery cell production with RFID, IO-Link, OPC UA and Ethernet guarantee
flexibility, reliability and fast ROI. The availability of high-performance batteries at moderate prices is one
of the most important factors for the success of electromobility. Short innovation cycles and increasing
competition are major challenges for battery manufacturers and carmakers, which above all require flexible,
digitized production lines – and automation companies that support...

How green power is becoming even more sustainable
Think green – act responsibly on electrical connectivity solutions.
Generating renewable energy is supposed to make an important contribution to limiting climate change. But it is
not enough to focus solely on the production of "green electricity”. In this segment, too, it is important
to use resources sparingly and promote sustainability. Examples from WECO show how it can be done.

Compact piezoelectric motors expanded to include non-magnetic (AMAG) motors
Piezoelectric motors belong to the group of small motors and use the piezoelectric effect to generate motion.
They can operate linearly and rotationally. The principle of a piezoelectric motor is based on a movement of the
moving part of the motor (rotor) through a change in the frictional force. This occurs when a voltage is applied
to the piezoelectric material. The combination of two out-of-phase voltages induces an elliptical motion whose
tangential force component drives the rotor.
