DISPLAY VISIONS has many years of experience in product development and production. Its core expertise lies in displays, which are used in a wide range of industries, from process automation and mechanical engineering to medical technology. However, there are not only displays that need to be technically perfect, but also the overall implementation, especially in the HMI environment. Read what DISPLAY VISIONS has to say about emotions in selection and acceptance – especially in displays – in neuromarketing.

How Kontron technology helps with vehicle assembly. In fully automated production cells in the automotive industry, high-performance and reliable hardware and software that can withstand a wide range of environmental conditions and global specifications is particularly important.

A new high-performance box PC with AI acceleration for industrial applications and edge computing will soon be available from BRESSNER Technology.

From e-mobility to communication and from medical technology to smart tools and household appliances, industry needs more and more battery cells. However, their production in gigafactories consumes enormous amounts of energy. In addition, the large production lines are very inflexible. A possible alternative has now been successfully trialed at the wbk Institute of Production Engineering at KIT. The approach: process containment in mini-environments. Robots from KUKA fill one of the main roles!

Power supply and data transmission in one connector: CONEC hybrid connectors excel with shorter assembly times and reduced weight on the end device (for example, a motor). With various sizes (B12, B17, B23, B40), CONEC offers the suitable hybrid connector for nearly every power class, whether it is a small DC drive or a powerful servo drive.

Kontron's network platforms offer scalable switching (L2) and routing (L3) functions for different hardware platforms. The EN50155-compliant Ethernet switches KSwitch R20, KSwitch R16, and the Ethernet switch module KSwitch M20 provide solution building blocks for secure communication.

Turck's CMVT-M8T in a compact stainless-steel housing uses vibration measurement to monitor the condition of motors and drives. With single-axis measurement, easy installation in the service bore via M8 screw-in thread including mounting adapter up to M30 and three selectable output signals, the sensor ensures precise vibration monitoring with minimum installation effort.

Promising solutions for increasing efficiency in agriculture are offered by agricultural robotics. Suitable drive systems need to be as compact as possible, like the flat DC-micromotors of the BXT series from FAULHABER. For applications with major fluctuations in temperature and under the harshest conditions, the extremely robust motors of the CXR family are ideally suited. Incremental encoders and compact drive electronics enable dynamic and highly positioning when sowing, replanting or harvesting.

With the IGPS-9084GP-LA network switch from ICP Germany, a network switch developed in accordance with IEC 62443-4-1 and compliant with IEC 62443-4-2 is now available to secure one's infrastructure against manipulation.

Reliable implementation of intelligent maintenance requires rugged embedded computers capable of processing sensor data directly at the machine. Cincoze industrial PCs meet these demands: they combine powerful computing, industrial-grade durability, and modular expandability – ideal for predictive maintenance in manufacturing, energy, transportation, and safety-critical industries.

The RACPRO1 series from RECOM Power ensures greater efficiency and space savings in the control cabinet. With three-phase and integrated DC input, power range from 240 to 960 W, high efficiency, tool-free wiring and durability, the series is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
