The Panasonic Campus Munich with the Customer Experience Center is neither an in-house exhibition nor a museum or archive for products and developments. Instead, the Customer Experi¬ence Center in the heart of one of Bavaria's most important technology locations is a center of encounter, a meeting place of ideas, around which service centers, laboratories, and development departments are grouped to work creatively on new, even unconventional approaches to solutions and to use synergies.

The two particularly compact and flat silicone keyboards DS85S and DS105S TP from Printec-DS offer full functionality, are very space-saving and designed for the harshest, industrial applications (IP68).

Service Center, laboratories and development departments at Panasonic Campus Munich. Laboratories and service centers are the core of technological innovations - and ultimately guarantee customized solutions across all industries. In this article, you will learn why the Customer Experience Centre on the Panasonic Campus Munich with its bundled development and service competence is the centre for high technology that creates concrete added value.

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.

The successful Y-Circ P series of push-pull circular connectors from Yamaichi Electronics is being expanded with a new release system.

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...

DC-DC converters are used in many applications; telecom, data communications, test and measurement, process control, semiconductor fabrication, industrial manufacturing, medical devices and battery powered equipment. They offer a simple way of deriving additional low power outputs from a higher power AC-DC supply, for example a 24 V output driving motors, relays or pumps. Alternatively if the system is powered by a 12 V battery, DC-DC converters can provide stable, regulated voltages during the...

The CONEC connector series with bayonet quick locking system allows safe and quick locking even in areas that are difficult to reach and / or not visible. With the three-point bayonet locking, it is possible to lock the connection by hand with a 90° turn. You get a direct tactile and acoustic feedback as soon as the connector is locked.

Innovative robot teaching without programming efforts. It is no longer possible to imagine the industrial environment without robots. They are the backbone of the smart factory. Increasingly, however, the digital helpers can also be found in other environments. The Dresden-based company Wandelbots has now developed a solution that makes the use of robots interesting for small and medium-sized companies in many industries. An industrial PC from Kontron plays a central role in this setup.

Since time immemorial, many display manufacturers have been advertising ever higher resolutions for their panels. Yet resolution is only one of many characteristics of a high-quality display. For some years now, displays can be produced with such a high resolution that this criterion has become secondary. A high pixel density also has disadvantages with regard to the brightness or contrast ratio of displays. DMB Technics explains the advantages of local dimming and how this solution becomes...

The latest generation of electrified drives is produced at the Dingolfing site in Germany, the BMW Group competence center for e-drive production. Here, KUKA implemented a fully automated test system for testing up to eight different drive variants. For more than 35 years, KUKA has been successfully integrating assembly and test systems for the automotive industry internationally and optimizing their production through efficient automation solutions.

Pushing the performance envelope with advanced edge-based hardware, Sfera Labs has introduced its latest multi-sensor module. The Exo Sense Pi leverages Raspberry Pi 4 computing capabilities. This compact wall-mount unit features a 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A72 processor running at up to 1.5 GHz, which is way beyond what other sensor modules on the market can deliver.

Capacitive silicone force sensor SXTSC1 by Sateco. Through its subsidiary, Sateco XT AG, Sateco is breaking new ground and adding the capacitive silicone sensor SXTSC1 to its portfolio of established keypad systems. The elastomer sensor works according to the capacitive operating principle and can continuously measure both touch and compressive force.

Bressner Technology, a leading provider of hardware and software solutions, expands its IoT portfolio with the Digi IX15.
