As the industry embraces decentralized automation in the era of Industry 4.0, the need for efficient and reliable electrical connectivity has never been greater. CONEC hybrid connectors rise to the challenge by integrating power, signal, and data into a single interface, reducing cabling and installation efforts while meeting the increasing demands of modern production systems. Discover how these innovative connectors can simplify operations.

Intralogistics 4.0 requires self-contained logistics robots that can move and act autonomously. Thanks to their performance and modular design, FAULHABER drive systems, such as the brushless DC-servomotors BX4 series with integrated motion controller and planetary gearhead, meet the high demands of modern intralogistics thanks to their performance and modular design.

Reducing costs, minimizing risks, and unlocking flexible, profitable energy use: the Berlin-based cleantech startup FION uses AI-powered battery storage for boosting companies’ profitability. The central lever is the company’s proprietary AI dispatch engine for battery storage systems. It automatically controls electricity flows based on consumption patterns, tariffs, and market prices, eliminating the need for companies to operate their own energy management system.

Jetson systems, such as the AIE-PX23/1-A1 model, are specifically designed for demanding edge AI applications. They are suitable for mobile robotics, predictive maintenance, decentralized sensor data analysis, and autonomous transport systems (AGVs).

Representing Spectra’s range of compact industrial PCs, the Spectra PowerBox 54F stands out as a prime example. Typical areas of application include machine control with AI support, process optimization directly at the plant, and edge data preprocessing. The Spectra PowerBox 54F features a robust and attractive industrial design.

Dirt, moisture, and vibrations were once considered the natural enemies of fiber optics. Despite their undeniable added value, many applications in the defense sector were reserved for copper cabling. However, equipped with robust connectors from Rosenberger, this fast, lightweight technology can now demonstrate its advantages in extreme environments without compromising the safety or reliability of the connections.

Extreme weather events such as intense hailstorms have increased significantly in recent years, resulting in mass damage. The AI-based hail scanner from HaSt GmbH supports the work of hail damage appraisers so that car owners can get their claims settled more quickly. Equipped with powerful Single Board Computers from Kontron, the scanner relieves experts of the tedious task of counting dents and provides reliable and reproducible AI results within half a minute.

The ongoing shift toward decentralized automation driven by Industry 4.0 concepts places high demands on modern electrical connectivity. What’s needed are flexible, robust, and customizable solutions that ensure reliable transmission of signals, data, and power directly at the machine and in the field. To meet these requirements, CONEC offers a comprehensive portfolio of accessories and connectivity solutions designed for today’s advanced automation environments.

An example of this product group is the Spectra WS-6000-PRO-28, a 4U workstation with seven slots and expansion options for PCIe cards and I/O brackets. Typical applications of the rack workstation include central data aggregation in control rooms, training complex AI models, big data analysis, and simulations.

Displays are sophisticated components. Not only in terms of hardware and software, but above all in terms of soft skills such as readability, size and brightness, they require careful planning and implementation. Paying attention to a few details now can save you a lot of trouble and additional costs later on. This article from DISPLAY VISIONS will help you make the right choices when selecting a display, so you can avoid potential problems down the line.

RECOM now offers the RACPRO family of universal industrial AC/DC power supplies for DIN rails in single-phase versions. The RACPRO1-S series power supplies are available in models with output power ratings of 120 W, 240 W, and 480 W, featuring widths of 28 mm, 39 mm, and 52 mm, respectively.

Humanoid robots form the transition between artificial intelligence and the real world. Their hands are not just tools but means of expression and interaction. In order to be able to move the fingers of a robotic or prosthetic hand individually, each finger is driven by one or more actuators. The DC motors from the FAULHABER SXR family and their diverse combination options of high-precision planetary gearheads are particularly suitable for this demanding application.

Buildings are becoming smarter. Whether office complexes, hospitals, residential complexes, or educational institutions, modern building services are now based on networked sensor technology, smart control systems and demand-oriented visualization. Information displays are becoming increasingly important: they must be energy-efficient, durable, and intuitive to use, ideally even in sunlight or during power failures. This is exactly where e-paper technology comes into play.
