Because connectors operate at every interface exposed to vibration, temperature changes, environmental contaminants, and frequent handling, their design and quality directly influence maintenance demands, troubleshooting time, and equipment availability.

Why safety professionals need a new class of logic solver, one that bridges the enormous gap between safety PLCs and single-loop devices.

Automated creation of AI models for image processing and time-based process signals.

Solution from Software Defined Automation delivers industrial DevOps, security and AI capabilities for industrial controller management at scale.

Beckhoff continues the EtherCAT story with new chips and technology products that support the global EtherCAT community and consistently move the product to the next level.

In industrial automation, input/output (I/O) refers to the connectivity that lets control systems interact with physical equipment. “Input” is the data flowing from a field device to the controller for processing, while “output” are the commands from the controller to perform actions. An I/O module manages these communications, acting as…

As AI makes an impact, smart manufacturing is looking for solutions that combine automation, AI and secure architectures from edge-to-cloud to optimize operations and reduce exposure to cyber, compliance and operational risks. The immediate goals: cybersecurity, quality control, logistics and process optimization.

Building X deployed as central operational system at the San Juan de Dios Hospital in Seville, Spain, has enhanced efficiency and sustainability. The digital building platform, with its AI-based apps, integrates energy management, security, and HVAC systems into a single solution.

EtherNet/IP-based approach to connecting in-cabinet components reduces wiring, weight and installation time For producers looking for ways to do more with less, rethinking control panel connectivity with Single-Pair Ethernet (SPE) technology can be an impactful change.

With digital transformation, demand has emerged to speed up the process from product planning to commercialization. But the labor time required for rework, on-site adjustment due to problems during equipment development and delays in decision-making make it difficult to visualize the effects of investment.
