Topic highlights
- Optical sensors: smart sensor technology for the IIoT
Intelligent sensors provide lots of secondary data in addition to status information. The latest developments (page 10) - Laser distance sensors: A perfect fit in five steps
What role do factors such as measuring range, focus, beam shape or object surface and ease of use play when choosing the right sensor? (page 12) - IO-Link: Smart data instead of big data
How does IO-Link increase the potential of industrial cloud services? (page 16) - Safety switches: working without 'pressure'
Based on capacitive buttons, safety switches enable fatigue-free working. How do they also increase the safety standard when used in two-hand control systems? (page 19) - Time of flight: pallets automatically recognized
How can the productivity of logistics processes be increased and the effectiveness of Automated Guided Vehicles improved? (page 26) - Dynamic visual guidance for 6-axis robots using the example of the production ramp-up for the Audi model derivatives of the A3 successor at the Ingolstadt plant (page 34)
