Numerous components are required for automation in industry. These can be high-end industrial PCs for demanding image processing tasks, embedded PCs for robot and machine control, panel PCs and monitors for visualizing process sequences, but also everything for setting up the industrial network. All components for industrial automation have one feature in common. They are optimally adapted to the harsh environmental conditions in this environment. Because you can't afford failures in industry....

Essentially, there are five characteristics that drive the Gamechange towards the lab of tomorrow: digital transformation, human and cultural aspects, process development and automation, data management, lab environment and design. 
In order to optimise the increasing number of test samples and the speed of evaluation, a connected solution is needed to ensure sample recognition, transport, and error-free analysis.

The GM1 combines features of motion functions with the functionality of a PLC, such as positioning, network modules, I/O modules, and high-frequency counters, among others, in a compact controller. As these modules are integrated into the GM1 motion controller, the compact "all-in-one" solution reduces the space required in the control cabinet and enables response times of only 0.5 ms.

The Internet of Things (IoT) also requires remote access devices, similar to M2M (machine-to-machine) communication. However, IoT also includes to collect and process data from sensors and actuators locally and later sent them via a gateway to a control centre or the cloud. Here, Panasonic Industry has a versatile product in the form of the FP-I4C, which provides various solutions for these requirements.

Connected production environments offer faster process flows, comprehensive traceability, and continuous improvement opportunities thanks to IIoT solutions. Digital networking also opens up efficiency gains and the ability to control equipment remotely. The high-tech environment of state-of-the-art laboratories is a prime example.

Machine builders and integrators in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries can shorten time to market with multiprotocol Ethernet and MTP. In many industries, modularization and standardization are considered target-oriented strategies to reduce costs, production, delivery and development times. This particularly applies to the biotech and pharmaceutical sectors due to the time pressure arising from the process of approvals and patent protection. Components that automatically adapt to the...

SECO, center of excellence in the field of technological innovation for IoT and AI solutions, presents a new box PC specifically developed for Edge Computing: VELA (formerly codenamed SYS‑C43‑IPC).

Ethernet I/O modules of the WISE‑7500 series: From electrical signal to smart sensor/actuator. "If the motor has started and the temperature is greater than 90 °C, then switch on the cooling and send an alarm email to the technician." These and similar "control tasks" can be performed by the Ethernet I/O modules of the WISE-7500 series.

Industrial mobile routers. Re­mote main­te­nance and re­mote man­age­ment of ma­chines and plants are im­por­tant com­po­nents of dig­i­tal­i­sa­tion. They save time-con­sum­ing and costly on-site ser­vice vis­its and are at the same time the entry into IIoT and In­dus­try 4.0. With the 4G routers of the UR se­ries, Spec­tra of­fers a com­plete range of in­dus­trial 4G mo­bile radio routers.

The steadily in­creas­ing level of dig­i­tal­i­sa­tion is push­ing con­ven­tional ca­bling con­cepts for de­cen­tralised, mod­u­lar con­trol sys­tems and sen­sor tech­nol­ogy to their lim­its. Par­tic­u­larly in terms of trans­parency, space re­quire­ments and in­stal­la­tion ef­fort, they are no longer able to meet the new re­quire­ments. In the mean­time, Sin­gle Pair Eth­er­net tech­nol­ogy (SPE) has de­vel­oped into the next gen­er­a­tion of com­mu­ni­ca­tion ar­chi­tec­ture as an...

Turck's compact IM18-CCM50 DIN rail control center for collecting, processing and forwarding condition data to the IIoT can be configured for specific OEM requirements. The IM18-CCM platform is therefore a powerful solution for machine and plant builders.

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...

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.

Turck has expanded its extensive IO-Link portfolio with an 8-port master with M12 power, a compact 4-port master in IP20, as well as I/O hubs with an external power supply. A web server update simplifies the parameterization, commissioning and maintenance of the masters.

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.

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...

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.

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.
