Powerful and compact Mini-PC series Spectra PowerBox 410. In industry, IoT applications are now part of everyday life. A great deal of data is generated, which must be processed as quickly as possible, often even in real time. Delays, such as those caused by the geographical distance between the place of use and the data centre, must be avoided. The goal is to process the data at least partially directly at the end device or within a factory.

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).

When automating production lines according to IoT, the controls of all individual machines are networked with one to another and integrated into the Internet. This requires IPC and communication functions, so new hardware and software are necessary. MASS has developed a solution for this environment based on the Raspberry Pi.

With a broad automation product portfolio and technology solutions, Panasonic Industry is the partner for setting up solutions for fully connected production lines.

Flexible and cost-effective machine retrofitting with DATAEAGLE. Machine tools play a central role in the manufacturing industry and especially in supplier companies to the automotive industry. For years, the performance of these machines was based on electromechanical assemblies, and sensors were only used as part of safety functions. This is changing in the course of Industry 4.0.

Smart data through decentralized pre-processing, IO-Link and cloud services – with this integrated concept Turck enables efficient solutions for Industry 4.0 and IIoT. End-to-end bidirectional communication down to the sensor/actuator level and with access to additional data – IO-Link increases the potential of industrial cloud services. Turck is combining both technologies and is thus opening up different possibilities of process optimization for users. For example, the simplification of...

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.

With more than 1,100 exhibitors, embedded world takes place annually in Nuremberg and is one of the most important trade fairs for embedded hardware and presents the latest developments in this segment. As a specialized manufacturer and value-added distributor for industrial IT, hardware and software, BRESSNER Technology will present a wide range of innovative embedded hardware in hall 1, booth 341.

KINEXON implements intelligent navigation for driverless vehicles with the Kontron KBox. Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things are changing production and logistics processes in the long term. In the future, objects will be networked and interact automatically in all areas. In order to guarantee smooth processes, detailed position and status data must be generated and analyzed. KINEXON, located in Munich, Germany, has developed KINEXON Brain, an intelligent solution based on an IoT...
