In addition to the technical steps of inspection, maintenance, repair and improvement, administrative aspects such as planning, evaluation and feedback are also important in maintenance management. This works efficiently with a mobile solution for the SAP system.

Wind River introduces the latest version of Wind River Studio, a cloud-native platform for developing, deploying, operating and maintaining intelligent systems.

Industry 4.0 is driving the trend towards small batch sizes with high product variance. This puts different loads on drives in machines and systems and makes it more difficult to predict the right time for maintenance. IIoT Building Blocks help with predictive maintenance.

With the i.Cee:local module, Igus has developed a new 'home' for the 'smart plastics' software.

Zero Trust in OT/IT environments
The aim of the cooperation between Siemens and Zscaler is to enable secure and needs-based remote access to OT systems without exposing the OT network to an increased threat potential.

Suppliers have struggled considerably with coronavirus and the transformation to new technologies, particularly in the automotive sector. Now the end of the crisis seems to be in sight for at least one of them.
By measuring the weight of freight trains, loads on the infrastructure can be determined and predictive maintenance measures can be taken on wagons and rails. A special dynamic weighing system is now also on the rails in Germany.
Data generated by machines and systems is used to detect and prevent faults at an early stage. However, they can only develop their full potential through intelligent linking with the relevant data from different source systems. Insight engines help with this.

Kistler has added new features to the ComoNeo process monitoring system for integrated injection molding production: The pressure curve in all cavities can now be monitored more precisely with a process-adapted envelope curve.
