How does your company define efficiency in today’s industrial landscape,...
Electronics manufacturing has changed significantly in recent years. Product life cycles are becoming short and shorter, and product variants are on the rise. At the same time, the demands on quality and traceability are constantly increasing. Additional pressure is exerted by external factors such as fragile supply chains and the persistent shortage of skilled labor. At the same time, the technological complexity...
Efficiency is a fundamental measure of automated systems. The starting point of every well-designed project is to deliver higher efficiency for the customer’s business. In this article, Stevia Automation, a Polish control systems integrator with many years of experience in implementing automated internal transport, sorting, and palletizing systems, explains how the solutions used in intralogistics automation projects contribute to increased efficiency of...
KVS Ltd, the developer of QUICKSURFACE, helps engineers transform 3D scan data into accurate, editable CAD models more efficiently. By combining practical automation with direct engineering control, QUICKSURFACE reduces repetitive modelling work while preserving accuracy, flexibility, and the original design intent of the component. Efficiency begins after the scan Industrial efficiency is no longer simply about completing the same task faster. It...
MC-monitoring, a Swiss manufacturer based in Fribourg, designs and produces protection, condition monitoring, and diagnostic systems for critical rotating machines – hydrogenerators, turbogenerators, and gas and steam turbines – used in over 1,000 power plants worldwide. As grid flexibility from wind and solar puts more mechanical stress on turbines that once ran at steady load, demand for continuous, multi-parameter monitoring is accelerating...
SAFERTOS® by Wittenstein High Integrity Systems (WHIS) is a certified, safety-critical real-time operating system built on the FreeRTOS functional model, letting developers prototype on FreeRTOS and migrate seamlessly to a certified environment. Certified to IEC 61508 SIL 3, ISO 26262 ASIL D, and DO-178C, SAFERTOS® has recorded zero in-field incidents since WHIS began developing safety-critical RTOS solutions in 2005. We spoke with...

Precise product transfers are one of the central challenges for modern conveyor technology – especially for small, sensitive, or lightweight products. Montech’s knife edge features a ball bearing design and has the smallest radius on the market. It is also the only cleanroom-certified solution of its kind. This allows conveying processes to be designed more precisely, so they are more stable and...
Energy efficiency doesn’t start with the replacement of a belt conveyor, but rather with the question of how well the drive technology, motor, and system design are suited to the specific application. Anyone who modernizes their conveyor technology can reduce energy requirements and improve the system’s cost-effectiveness. With the TB30 and TB40 belt conveyors, Montech offers systems that rely on electronically commutated...
Tokbo, a spin-off of Italian fastening-solutions manufacturer Agrati Group, has developed a sensor-based monitoring system that turns bolted structural joints into real-time safety checkpoints. Already installed on more than 80 structures, including bridges, tunnels, cable cars, and amusement parks – the technology combines IoT sensors with AI-driven predictive algorithms to flag structural risks before they become failures. We spoke with Ivan Moroni,...
