  • Smarter, faster, flawless: AI-driven quality control in fluid filling

    Modern filling machines depend on networks of sensors and controllers that measure every part of the process. Pressure, flow, weight, temperature and visual data are gathered continuously and kept in sync across all filling heads.

  • An AI journey on an offshore oil and gas platform

    The case study demonstrates how artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning can transform operations, decision-making and cost optimization on an oil platform.

  • New AI tool reveals airway obstructions often missed on CT imaging

    The AI model functions like a second set of eyes, helping radiologists detect these radiolucent — invisible on x-rays and faint on CT scans — objects earlier and more reliably.

  • Southco launches EC Damping Hinge

    The hinge uses an embedded torque engine to generate resistance only when needed the most, so the panels are easy to move but nearly impossible to slam shut.

  • Sweat-powered sticker transforms cups into health monitors

    The flexible sticker instead adheres to the outside of a drinking cup, where it collects trace amounts of sweat as a person grips the cup.

  • The dirty truth about clean manufacturing: Fluid power maintenance

    Waste is minimized not by replacing entire assemblies, but by renewing high-wear internal elements.

  • Vanzetti Engineering strengthens its presence in the Asian marine market

    At Marintec China 2025, the company will showcase the latest technological developments in its range of LNG marine cryogenic pumps.

  • Rethinking 'standard' occupants: How inclusive testing improves auto safety

    Crash test dummies, called “anthropomorphic test devices”, were first developed for the military in 1949, then adopted by the automotive industry in the mid-1960s.

  • New compliance test tool release for OPC UA V1.05.06

    The tool can be used to test OPC UA client, server, publisher, subscriber and so-called Global Discovery Servers products for compliance to the OPC UA specification.

  • Transforming smartphone sensors into earthquake detectors

    The team believes that smartphones could be used to develop highly detailed site amplification maps using the built-in accelerometers in smartphones.

  • Laser-treated cork sensor detects sodium nitrite in beverages

    The team developed the sensor to detect sodium nitrite. In excess, the compound can reportedly cause health problems by leading to the creation of nitrosamines, which are carcinogenic compounds.

  • Technology with a human face

    FAULHABER drive systems bring mobility and elevated performance to humanoid robots.

  • Compact powerhouses with versatile configurability

    With a diameter of 14 mm, these portfolio additions open up new possibilities for modern, space-saving drive solutions.

  • Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. launches comprehensive CNC software package to monitor citizen machine data in real time

    The adapter captures live machine data, empowering manufacturers to make smarter, faster decisions without replacing existing equipment.

  • Lenze at SPS 2025: Efficiency and flexibility for the next generation of machines

    One of the highlights of this year's trade fair appearance will be the MF motor m650, which Lenze will be presenting for the first time.

  • Cloud-based MPC retrofitting for HVAC control

    This approach to model predictive control retrofitting can modernize HVAC systems and other critical infrastructure at lower cost, extending the life of legacy through smarter, more adaptive control.

  • SEW-EURODRIVE launches DriveTag — A smarter way to streamline inventory, logistics and material flow

    The customized barcode labeling service is engineered to simplify product identification, streamline logistics and optimize internal material flow for industrial users.

  • SAFE unveils new screw compressor for applications in the biogas and biomethane segments

    The new screw-compressor range spans installed power up to 400 kW, making it suitable for integration in both small- and large-scale plants.

  • More precision. more variety. more future — Live at Productronica with ViscoTec

    The new vipro-PUMP L and vipro-DUO L dispensers, as well as the new vipro-FEED L plus emptying system, will be introduced.

  • Production twin-based meter optimizes oil and gas operations

    Improve flow visibility with physics-based flow estimation for oil, gas and water phases.
