With ProLink CMS, Schaeffler is launching a new generation of its multi-channel condition monitoring system, which is suitable for monitoring complete production plants in a wide range of industries.

In line with the trend towards machine integration and data exchange, Wachendorff Prozesstechnik is launching the cMT series, an HMI solution that offers powerful HMI products for integration into existing systems.
Industry 4.0 requires the convergence of IT and OT. How can a migration path from today's technologies to Industry 4.0 support this convergence without tearing down important bridges to the past?
The more powerful the components become, the faster OPC UA will establish itself at field level. How can communication via this data exchange standard be designed securely?
High data width, short cycle times, improved integration of intelligent sensors and actuators using IO-Link and cloud connectivity via OPC UA - ASi-5 makes AS-Interface fit for the requirements of digitalization.
Generating, transporting and processing information are central processes in the Industry 4.0 environment. The information is based on intelligent sensors on site that provide the required input, supported by IO-Link and OPC UA.
OPC UA is regarded as the new communication standard for industrial automation. Part 1 explained why a new communication technology is needed in automation and described the OPC UA methods. Part 2 deals with the OPC UA pub/sub methods and the power of modeling.
Real-time communication without cables! - In order to increase the flexibility of production plants, this is a much cherished wish. But where exactly is this scenario still failing? What are the possible solutions? And what role do OPC UA and TSN play here?

OPC UA is now finding its way into new products across the board. But more and more companies are also including the term TSN in their product descriptions. The picture gallery presents some of these innovations.
