Industry 4.0 - Import export

Die Idee und das Ziel von Industrie 4.0 ist es, in Echtzeit alle relevanten Daten innerhalb von Wertschöpfungsprozessen zu gewinnen, um daraus Optimierungen hinsichtlich Kosten, Ressourcenbedarf und Verfügbarkeit abzuleiten. Dies ist möglich, wenn alle an diesem Prozess beteiligten Komponenten vernetzt sind und die notwendige Information für Bewertung und Aktion bereitstellen. Ein wichtiger Faktor sind dabei Sensoren, die Zustände innerhalb von Fertigungsprozessen und Anlagen erfassen und diese an übergeordnete Systeme wie Steuerungen kommunizieren. Die Standardisierung dieser Kommunikation ist außerordentlich sinnvoll. Novotechnik bietet dazu Weg- und Winkelsensoren mit dem herstellerunabhängigen Kommunikationsstandard IO-Link an, welcher die Eigenschaften intelligenter Sensoren voll nutzbar macht. IO-Link kann über Gateways in unterschiedlichste Bussysteme implementiert werden und ermöglicht über intelligente Diagnose- und Parametrierungskonzepte eine deutliche...

Magnetic motor feedback systems are proving themselves in numerous applications in linear drive technology, handling systems, circuit board assembly, robotics and in a wide range of automation solutions in the context of Industry 4.0. In all of these areas, the speed and/or position of a drive must be communicated to a main controller in real time. The ultra compact LEC100 and LEC200 sensor duo has been developed by SIKO for these requirements. Repeat accuracy max. ±1 μm. max. resolution 0.2 µm (LD output circuit). Reading distance ≤0.2 mm. Works with MB100/1 magnetic tape. Signal period 1000 μm. Output circuit sin/cos or LD. Function and status display LEDs.

DataMan 280 series fixed-mount barcode readers offer fast decoding, easy setup, and valuable Industry 4.0 features, like web browser connectivity and performance monitoring, in a small form factor. DataMan 280 was engineered to better track and trace items throughout manufacturing and logistics supply chains solving a broad range of tough 1D, 2D, and direct part mark (DPM) code applications. DataMan 280 series was designed to be flexible. The modular hardware and software can be configured to solve any barcode reading challenge. Easily decode difficult DPM codes on challenging automotive and medical device surfaces. Read multiple label-based barcodes simultaneously on boxes and pallets, even behind specular wraps. And accurately read user presented codes with a large depth of focus for speedy handling.

The innovative recuperation module from CIC acts as an energy-saving valve and control module directly in the pneumatic circuit. Functionality : It is installed directly on the consumer - e.g. on the pneumatic cylinder or in the pneumatic control circuit. The recuperation valve with its integrated control electronics measures and regulates the air consumption and feeds used compressed air back into the working cycle for reuse. Advantages : Reduction of compressed air consumption by up to 80%. Increase in efficiency of the plant. Smart monitoring and diagnostics of the pneumatic system with numerous evaluation options and control in line with Industry 4.0. Detection of leaks and irregularities. Delivery for predictive maintenance data. Avoidance of downtimes. Simple control software and wireless transfer from PC.

Due to remote maintenance, expensive machine downtimes can be minimised or even prevented thanks to preventive and direct interventions. Prepare machine data graphically in dashboards via the cloud and set up alarms. The alarm function is used to inform previously defined employees about a possible malfunction. Big-LinX offers customers a secure investment in the future, as the portal grows with the customer's needs. Get your company ready for digitalisation.

Machine vision tools and barcode reading systems produce a lot of insight-rich data across manufacturing and logistics facilities. The expansion of Industry 4.0 through the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) focuses on improving operations by collecting and analyzing data in an efficient way like at “the edge” of the production line as opposed to sending data to the cloud and back. The Cognex Edge Intelligence (EI) platform transforms big data into smart data and provides real-time system performance monitoring and device management to improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and throughput. EI device setup is fast and simple for both new and existing automation lines, preventing downtime and boosting productivity for your operation. Easily connect to the EI platform through any web browser to start collecting data right away. Additionally, users can configure and manage several devices at once.
