The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly changed our daily lives. Diagnostic testing remains critical for containment. So are Ellume's tests. The Australian diagnostics company is expanding its automated production with 144 KUKA robots, which will be used in a total of 27 state-of-the-art assembly lines.
The quality of industrial production processes is ensured by a large number of sensor-based individual inspections. This generates large amounts of data. However, until now, the information from the individual sensors has generally only been looked at in isolation.
World’s smallest electric subsea valve actuator SVA R2 reduces carbon footprint. The “Spotlight On New Technology® Award" from the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC 2022) recognizes the Subsea Valve Actuator SVA R2 as a disruptive innovation of Bosch Rexroth for a quantum leap in minimizing the carbon footprint of subsea oil and gas production.
The Schmersal Group will showcase a number of innovative systems for safe and efficient design of bulky goods conveyors using a demo conveyor system at SOLIDS 2022. One particular solution will be Schmersal’s option for condition monitoring – the capture and evaluation of process and diagnosis data from system components to enable predictive maintenance, to increase availability and to ensure the conveyor system’s efficient operation.
The arrival of spring also marks the release of maxon’s 2022/23 catalog, with 592 pages and the latest in drive technology.
One of the highlights? A radiation-resistant GAMA encoder.
Every year, HMS Networks analyzes the industrial network market to estimate the distribution of new connected nodes in factory automation. This year’s study shows that the industrial network market is expected to grow by 8% in 2022. Industrial Ethernet still shows the highest growth and now accounts for 66% of all new installed nodes (65% last year). Fieldbuses are at 27% (28) while wireless remains at 7% market share. PROFINET and EtherNet/IP share first place in the network rankings with 17% market share, but EtherCAT closes in fast, now at 11%.
