Stephen Hayes, managing director at automation and control specialist, Beckhoff UK, explains how flexible manufacturing systems, supported by advanced modular automation solutions, can meet the demands of personalised medicine.

MVTec Software has launched the new version of MVTec HALCON. Version 25.05 of the standard machine vision software includes numerous improvements as well as a new technology that combines deep learning algorithms with classic methods.

Servotecnica has developed two new cost-effective standard versions of its SVTM series rotary actuators in 118- and 153-mm diameter package sizes that offer nominal output torques of 33 Nm and 49 Nm respectively. Both are equipped with a 19 bits resolution BiSS-C protocol absolute encoder.

Variable speed drives (VSDs) have become a staple across industrial and agricultural sites. But while these devices are increasingly being fitted, their full capabilities are often overlooked. Here, David Strain, technical director at Technidrive, explores the world of untapped possibilities waiting within every inverter that can unlock performance, control and energy efficiency - provided they are set up correctly.

ifm introduces the AL159x Multi-Protocol IO-Link master with integrated OPC UA server. Designed to meet the evolving demands of Industry 4.0, this advanced solution combines robust performance with flexible communication to ensure seamless integration at both OT and IT levels.

The new ANS/ANM58 PROFINET from SICK Sensor Intelligence marks a new generation of absolute encoders specifically designed for higher machine and system productivity.

The pressure on machine builders is mounting: shorter lead times, a shortage of technical personnel, and rising expectations around flexibility and data integration. In this context, Lenze aims to be more than a provider of automation technology.

Rockwell Automation has announced the release of its EtherNet/IP In-cabinet Solution, designed to meet the growing demand for smarter, faster and more connected manufacturing operations.

ifm announces the launch of its latest robust high-resolution pressure sensors, including the PI series designed specifically for hygienic applications. These advanced sensors deliver precision, reliability, and efficiency to critical processes in industries such as food and beverage production.

norelem has expanded its range of floating clamps with the introduction of a new, highly compact, in-house manufactured model for clamping and supporting components at overdetermined clamping points.
