Beckhoff achieves a new quantum leap in terms of machine flexibility with the innovative No Cable Technology (NCT) for the XTS intelligent transport system. This is made possible by contactless power supply and synchronous real-time data communication, enabling individual XTS movers to be expanded into mobile handling and processing stations.
Thalia Design Automation Ltd., provider of analog and mixed-signal circuit IP reuse platform, today announced its core Design Enabler product has been enhanced to significantly boost the value it brings to product development teams in both optimizing the performance of migrated designs and improving or preserving layout.
Arrow Electronics has signed an agreement with Senseye, a leading Industry 4.0 company specialising in artificial intelligence (AI)-based predictive maintenance. Insights into machine condition enable pre-emptive action to prevent escalation.
Space-saving, resource-protecting infrastructure ready for the field / IP65/67 protection and optimal screening for secure transmission from the cloud to the sensor.
The three existing PS power supply series from Beckhoff have been expanded to include new devices with a built-in EtherCAT interface within the PS2000 series. They make it easy to gather additional measurement and device data for comprehensive system monitoring, which can be used to increase availability and reduce downtime. As a result, the power supplies combine compact design and high performance with predictive maintenance functionality for the first time.
Distributor extends its best-in-class support with new online service to help design engineers, purchasers and project development managers find optimal solutions for new and existing designs.
Augmented reality (AR) applications are about to fundamentally change the way we live and work. Later this year, AR pioneer Magic Leap is expected to introduce its newest AR device, the Magic Leap 2.
Uninterrupted data and information flow is a key prerequisite for the digitalisation of material flow in production and assembly. Frequently, however, the information chain breaks down at the "last hurdle", or its precision leaves a lot to be desired – for example, when staff request replenishments via hand scanners.
At the Hannover Messe trade fair, Bosch Rexroth will present numerous new products for factory automation, connected hydraulics and the electrification of mobile machines.
