The multi-purpose AI workstation enables training, execution and inference of algorithms for a wide range of models and frameworks. The standardized approach covers up to 90...

Spectra-Panel Z-Series meets requirements of the food, pharmaceutical and medical industries. Hygiene requirements are particularly high in the food, pharmaceutical and medical industries. Since the spread of particles, germs and other contaminants must be prevented at all costs, materials are used in the production process whose contamination potential is as low as possible.

Spectra PowerBox 3000C – Mini‑PC with Coffee Lake Power. High computing power, extensive expansion options as well as the compact design have made the mini PCs of the Spectra PowerBox 3000 series a real 19-inch alternative since the first generation. Due to these characteristics, they are recommended, for example, for use in machine and system control.

Spectra PowerBox 5000: Scalable high-end GPU computing system. Modern processes in industrial AI and machine vision are closely linked to image processing. This requires industrial PC systems with CPU and GPU performance large enough to process the tasks in real time.

With the Mustang-T100-T5 ICP Germany expands its portfolio of AI accelerator cards and brings another possibility to extend existing systems with AI functionalities.

Machinery and plants as well as production processes generate a continual flow of data. Companies that are able to generate added value from this data will be able to enjoy success in the future. However, the large amount of generated data must be easily accessible to the machine operator via a HMI (Human Machine Interface). With the u-create PROCON-WEB SCADA software tool and PROCON-WEB Embedded System, Weidmüller provides visualisation solutions with...

At the edge, the use of GPU-based systems for AI computing is usually not practical due to the physical size of the inference system, the high-power consumption and the unfavourable price-performance ratio. The Mustang AI accelerator card series from ICP Germany offers new solutions for edge computing in the field of Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT).

Powerful, freely programmable smart cameras with NVIDIA Jetson modules. Baumer presents the AX smart cameras, its first industrial-grade smart cameras that combine the market-leading NVIDIA Jetson modules with powerful Sony CMOS sensors to create a compact, flexible, and freely programmable image processing platform for AI‑applications.

Compact 29×29 mm industrial cameras with Sony Pregius S sensors up to 24 MP. Baumer is expanding its CX series with the 4th Sony CMOS sensor generation Pregius S with up to 24 megapixel resolution. Thanks to a pixel size of mere 2.74 µm and backside illumination pixel architecture, the camera has a very compact design (29 × 29 mm) and offers very high resolutions with excellent image quality and improved sensitivity for stable image evaluations.

Wearables from ProGlove make humans a driving force of Industry 4.0 and digital transformation. The Digital Twin is a digitized model that maps the physical characteristics of a production environment as well as the processes. But this mapping has its limitations, as it only includes data from machines and not from humans. At the same time, human employees will continue to play an important role in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, also known as Industry 4.0. The challenge lies in combining the...
