Wachendorff Process Technology
The HMI of the cMT series from Wachendorff Prozesstechnik can be easily upgraded to a high-performance operating device with integrated Codesys V3 control using a Codesys activation card in conjunction with a license sticker.

For decentralized machine operation, Griessbach offers bus-capable input units with its CAN modules, which can be integrated into the control network with little assembly and installation effort.

With the industrialPhysics app from Machineering, which is available via iTunes, simulation models created on the desktop can also be transferred to handheld devices.
Customize HMIs according to your needs! A modular system for glass, display and touch sensor from the drawer should make this possible for machine builders.

With the E07A and E10A, tci presents two touch panels for industrial applications, for example in the areas of production, logistics and energy management. Android is used as the operating system.

The Pepperl+Fuchs brand Ecom has launched a new generation of the intrinsically safe 4G/LTE Android smartphone series 'Smart-Ex' with a 12.7 cm (5 inch) display.

Eaton is adding a fully graphic touch panel from the XV102 series to the 'easyE4' product family. The 3.5-inch touch panel with color display was developed for the visualization and operation of applications based on the 'easyE4' control relay.

With VBase 11.6, industrial IT provider Visam offers an updated version of its automation platform for HMI, SCADA and MES applications. With the new RDLC interface, recorded data can be output to the screen or printer in the desired format.
The PanelPC 2 series from Polyrack is suitable for control and drive technology, especially in industrial environments.
Siemens presents a system for operating and monitoring: The web-based visualization system consists of the Simatic WinCC Unified visualization software and the Simatic HMI Unified Comfort Panels HMI operating devices.

The M133K is the next generation of the 13.3-inch tablet from TL Electronic and comes with the 7th generation Core i5.

Augmented and virtual reality open up new digital possibilities for production operations and maintenance. Have these possibilities already arrived in companies? Is it a trend or a dream?

With the "industrialPhysics App" from Machineering, which is available via iTunes, simulation models created on the desktop can also be transferred to handheld devices.
A consortium of six companies and institutions led by Siemens has spent the last three years researching augmented reality (AR) in industry. - The results of the Glass@Service project.

Interview with Frank-Peter Schiefelbein
Is AR in the world of work just a temporary hype? Where are the limits? Glass@Service project manager Frank-Peter Schiefelbein from Siemens gives his opinion.
Trend topics such as big data, AI and IoT are currently much discussed in companies. They are intended to optimize work processes and ensure greater flexibility. Assisted reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) play a central role in this context.

Augmented reality can be used to optimize products and processes, but its use requires a high level of expert knowledge. The AcRoSS research project proposes a platform concept that also enables smaller companies to use AR applications for data-based services.

Modern process plants need digital, mobile, networked and standardized solutions that make data from plants, machines and field devices easily accessible and streamline maintenance procedures for configuring, commissioning and troubleshooting devices.

Rafi equips the 'Glasscape' touchscreens with haptic operating solutions: The Flexscape One and Flexscape Wheel control elements are placed directly on the touchscreen surface and enable safe function control without visual contact.
