The Swiss Schurter Group can look back on a successful year in 2017 with sales growth of 30.9 %.

The 'eWON' remote service platform Talk2M is an essential element of the 'eWON' remote maintenance solution from HMS. 'Talk2M' offers secure remote access to industrial machines and systems via the 'eWON' industrial routers.
Remote maintenance / remote control
For free-moving mobile cranes, the power supply must be ensured onboard - for example in the form of a battery container. The IoT edge gateway and connection to the cloud open up new possibilities for monitoring this around the clock.
What properties must single-cable solutions for servomotors have to ensure that communication via the integrated encoder cable functions reliably even under mechanical stress in highly dynamic drag chain applications? Shielding is particularly important here.
While the industry currently seems to be focusing exclusively on Industry 4.0, the question arises: What role do conventional machine-related components such as I/O systems with IP65/67 protection still play in this environment?

Thanks to digitization and the copper price
An increase of 14%: Cable manufacturer Lapp achieved sales of more than one billion euros in the past financial year for the first time in the company's history.

The NB800 EcoRouter from NetModule is aimed at applications in the Industry 4.0 and IoT environment where robust connectivity and reliability are prerequisites. The focus is on simple integration and remote configuration/management.

German companies seem to be aware of the benefits of predictive maintenance. Nevertheless, they are reluctant to implement it. This is confirmed by a recent survey conducted by the consulting firm BearingPoint.

Westermo's MRD-405 is a CAT-1-capable LTE gateway for industrial M2M communication. The broadband router is suitable for remote access to SCADA systems, HMI and PLC stations and can also be used as an internet gateway.
