Siemens will be demonstrating to users and manufacturers of machine tools at its 270 square meter Booth B03 in Hall 2 how end-to-end digitalization solutions work from the machine tool right up to the corporate management level and the cloud.

SIRCOVER manual transfer switches have three stable, completely isolated positions and feature 2, 3 and 4-pole configurations; 100A, 260A and 400A ratings, with 240VAC and 600VAC max operation voltage (AC) ratings.

This System-On-Module encompasses eMMC Flash whose capacity ranges from 4GB to 64GB and 64-bit DDR3 with capacity as low as 256MB to as high as 4GBytes

BIDCO Africa Limited, with HighJump and the support of iWMS, is gaining end-to-end supply chain transparency to improve workflows and adapt to its growth trajectory. This includes evolving operations with traceability and recall management, inventory management, tracking and shipping via FEFO/FIFO expiry dates, and worker productivity.

The recently published Gartner Magic Quadrant evaluates multiple integrated risk management solution providers who serve the needs of security and risk management leaders across a spectrum of use cases.

Twelve independent jury panels of distinguished industry experts selected the 57 finalists from 420 nominations submitted by more than 340 user organizations around the world.

CLPA’s activity with the OPCF aims to expand its existing CSP+ (Control & Communication System Profile) technology from just describing individual devices and to apply it to complete machines and production lines. This is the key concept behind CSP+ for Machine.

Altizon’s platform is a technology designed to help accelerate Smart Manufacturing initiatives, modernize Asset Performance Management services and launch new Business Models for service delivery, among other processes.

A non-contacting linear motor measuring 8.7 in. [223 mm] long x 3.0 in. [75 mm] wide x 1.7 in. [43 mm] high this LIM operates on the same principal as a rotary, squirrel cage, induction motor.

This touch panel PC has a 15.6" WXGA TFT widescreen LCD display with a projected capacitive touchscreen and 400 nits brightness. It is capable of displaying contents in HD resolution (1366 x 768), making it suitable for human machine interfaces, infotainment and self-service kiosks.

This automation and process control system includes a Motor Starter Process Control Panel. Included in this control panel is an Allen Bradley PLC with discrete and analog outputs, an Allen Bradley Panel View Plus 10” color touchscreen, and custom automation software to meet the application requirements.

The GPL-V (shaft) and GPL-H (hollow) have a backlash of ≤0.1 arc minute and are planetary gearboxes for horizontal and vertical robotic applications. Tilting rigidity results in positioning accuracy with a rated 20,000 hours.

The HART 7 position transmitter’s LCD display and navigation buttons permit local 5-point calibration for setup on linear applications. Diagnostic capabilities include measurements such as percent valve is open/closed, open and close dwell time, valve transition time – from open to close, and last open/close stroke time.

The REX12D-T circuit protector, in combination with the EM12D-TMB supply module that communicates via Modbus-RTU protocol, is intended for those looking to incorporate condition monitoring and predictive maintenance into their systems.

Experts do a deep dive on advanced topics of field calibration. Learn about special cases with loop testing, installing and testing capillary seals, and vortex and magnetic flowmeters.

The CryptoAutomotive TA/BSD development kit emulates a secure node in an automotive network and provides system designers with a starting point for implementing security.

The all-rounder uses red light and lets users choose from among four sensor modes: background suppression, energetic diffuse, retroreflective or through-beam sensor. All the sensor functions can be configured over IO-Link while the system is running, so that a remote teach-in can be initiated by the controller.
