At the previous SPS 2019, seven companies founded a partner network for single pair Ethernet. It has now grown to 17 companies, and other companies have expressed interest
With the help of simulation models, electric drives can be designed faultlessly and damage can be avoided in later operation. Markus Jaksch from Baum /u00fcller presents some simulation tools based on user examples at the user meeting mechatronic drive technology
In the Future Hub at the Hanover Fair 2020, numerous young start-ups show their ideas and products. We show where it is worth stopping by
Industrial robots should be more connected, collaborative and easier to install, says the International Federation of Robotics IFR. Three trends for the future
The increasing variety of products and the ever shorter model cycles present connection technology with new challenges. Scientists at the University of Paderborn have developed a methodology that enables a flexible process chain
We are showing new miniature circular connectors from Bulgin, a specially designed interface from Harting for the Metro Snap concept vehicle and new angled connectors from the M12 portfolio from TE Connectivity
For large ranges, fuel cells are an alternative to batteries. But manufacturing them is still costly. The Fraunhofer IWU shows how fast and cost-effective large-scale production can be achieved
The development environment LabVIEW is confusing and overwhelming for many beginners. The specialist book /u201eLabVIEW course: basics, tasks, solutions /u201c explains the basic functions and offers many exercise options
In driverless transport systems, compact designs are particularly important, while lubrication plays a major role in electric vehicles, and flexibility plays a major role in robotics. We are showing three new gearbox solutions
Researchers have developed a device that can generate electricity from air humidity. It consists of electrically conductive protein nanowires that are produced by bacteria
From Mannheim to Berlin by e-plane? A regional e-flight taxi service would make it possible. DLR has analyzed the potential in the field of hybrid electric aircraft
Is man to blame if a technical system fails due to its behavior? No, says the VDI - the technical system must be designed in such a way that it is adjusted to typical human characteristics. A new standard work helps
Instead of using sensor data only for a warning when a component should be replaced, researchers have developed a new solution that makes more of the data. The sensor is linked to an IoT platform
There are various navigation technologies for driverless transport systems. Everyone leads the vehicle to its destination, but the application determines the selection
Anyone who wants to equip devices in medical technology with the appropriate drive system will be faced with numerous different requirements. EBM-Pope supports with a modular system of drive modules that can be flexibly combined
The past year has gone better than expected. But for 2020 the VDW expects a decline in production of 18%. There are different reasons for this
It was only with the battery that electricity and all the resulting developments could be thoroughly researched. Shrugging frog legs and a wrong theory lead to this development
The IEC standards committee SC 48B for connection technology has published IEC 63171-6. The standard interface for industrial single-pair Ethernet applications is thus established and the users have investment security
From 2022, BASF will manufacture battery materials for fully electric vehicles at its Schwarzheide production site. The plant is expected to supply around 400,000 electric vehicles with cathode materials per year
