Fastest assembly and electrical test equipment; integrated smart manufacturing solutions using Big Data and machine learning for optimised Industry 4.0.
It’s one thing opting for energy saving equipment, but it’s also important to make sure the equipment is properly installed and continually monitored so that you reap ongoing and maximum energy improvements.
Quick-Connect IoT System Combines Modular and Standardized Hardware and Software Building Blocks for MCUs and Sensors; Solidifies Renesas’ IoT Leadership.
When implementing condition-based monitoring in equipment with mission-critical rotating elements, maintenance engineers require large amounts of process data. Contrinex Smart Sensors monitor multiple parameters in real time, including unexpected levels of vibration, increased bearing temperature or irregular radial deflections of a shaft.
Recognizing fake drugs? Testing water samples ourselves? Checking the quality of air? In the future, it could be possible to do all this using a smartphone in a quick, cost-effective and straightforward way. The process is being made possible by a spectrometer, weighing just one gram, from the Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems ENAS. The aim is to mass-produce this component for around a euro using conventional technologies.
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.
