Intelligent TFT touch displays using uniTFTDesigner
Implementing user interfaces and process monitoring intuitively in record time. Key in, turn and go – probably
the best known and most intuitive HMI. HMIs – hardly anything is more ubiquitous, and no one gives them a second
thought. The expectations of design, intuitiveness and functionality that are spilling over from the consumer
world into industrial and professional applications are confronting programmers with ever more extensive tasks.
The realization done in conventional programming now...

First Rate Climate in the IIoT
There are many reasons for the excessive build-up of heat in control cabinets. Designers can often minimize the
dangers resulting from incorrectly arranged devices or poor ventilation in advance. However, specific condition
monitoring is needed for external factors and device anomalies. Turck‘s IM18-CCM cabinet guard now provides a
smart solution for processing sensor data via Ethernet in the IIoT.

Weidmüller: Web-based remote maintenance solution u-link for greater machine availability
Seamless production sits at the core of every company‘s operations. If production stops, due to an error for
example, a quick response is required. But what if the specialist for the plant is not on site? Thanks to
digitalisation, the magic words in this case are often remote maintenance. Estimates assume that up to 60
percent of errors can be resolved or at least supported via remote access. Weidmüller‘s u-link remote access
service offers a system that is easy to install, easy to configure...

Flyweights in the top performance class
The power-to-weight ratio (also mass-to-power ratio) is a common parameter in the specification of vehicles and
engines. This specification is not known for industrial computers, but nevertheless the weight plays an
important role as soon as they are used in „moving“ applications. Not only the dead weight, but also the
resulting inertial forces lead to enormous additional expenses.
