Installing or updating applications on a PLC usually costs machine manufacturers a lot of time and money. Flecs is now automating this process - which should result in savings of at least 40 percent.

When a company builds a platform for the collection, provision and storage of device data and the development of algorithms for machine learning, the question of a smart choice of architecture always arises. Some project examples.
Robur Automation used AI and edge computing to implement a parking solution without barriers and was one of the pilot users of an edge solution with an S7-1500 design. A field report.
High energy costs, uncertainties in the energy supply chain and the strong focus on China as an export country are calling into question the future viability of Germany's (export) business model. The transition to a smarter, more intelligent industry is more urgent than ever

KNIME is free software for analyzing large amounts of data. The KNIME2Edge platform is designed to enable companies to get started with AI technology without having to invest a large amount of resources and specialist staff at the outset.

ifm offers intelligent power supply units that provide the required voltage directly on site.

The 53-year-old Stefan Grotzke has been appointed Managing Director of Turck Holding and the Werner Turck company.
Dedicated servers can be used in almost exactly the same way as the cloud, are often more flexible and have lower total operating costs. Ergo: In many cases, they offer a real alternative to traditional cloud services.
Cost management for multi-cloud environments is an art in itself. A wide range of options are available for optimization - if they are understood and used correctly. But what really matters and which criteria are essential?
Check with Bernd Hantsche, Rutronik
Edge and cloud computing play a central role in industrial IoT. But when should which technology be used? How can edge and cloud synergies be best utilized? Bernd Hantsche from Rutronik provides the answers.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been in force within the European Union since May 25, 2018. This legal framework not only shows internet companies such as Google and Meta their limits, but also poses challenges for the German economy.

Lapp is launching switches for use outside the control cabinet: Thanks to IP67 classification, the Etherline Access PN IP67 Profinet switch and the Etherline Access U IP67 unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch are suitable for use directly in the field.
What began with an improved pointer telegraph is now digitizing industry. Siemens has shed its skin more than once since it was founded.
Innovation does not always have to be disruptive; it can also be a synergy of two existing technologies. A current example of this is the combination of IoT and blockchain, i.e. the combination of connectivity and decentralization in the Internet of Things.

The interfaces of the GW4101 IoTmaxx gateways are now also available to users via Modbus RTU and TCP for communication with the process control system.
