Special lenses enable reliable sensing at distances of up to 30 metres
Niederrhein-Gold Tersteegen GmbH & Co. KG in Moers, Germany has been relying on automated guided vehicles (AGV) from ek robotics. After the system was expanded in 2019 to include vehicles for transporting industrial pallets, new transport robots were added in 2024, opening further functional areas and ensuring even higher throughputs and efficient material flows with their continuous operation.
Addition to the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio mainly in the range of 24 and 48 V motors for intelligent, battery-powered drive solutions.
Solenoid and process valves for pressures up to 1.000 bar
Digital integration of measurement technology based on resistance thermometers or thermocouples
Pneumatic conveying processes have a key function in the material flow of many industrial companies and place correspondingly high demands on blower technology, with efficiency, reliability and purity of the conveying air particularly in focus.
Mil-Standard devices available with different operating systems for versatile scenarios
Mechanical bearings and gearboxes — like those used in electric vehicles and wind farms — are often treated with lubricants to avoid friction and wear. The voltage the components might be under impairs the effectiveness of the lubricants to such a degree that the tribological contacts are damaged. As part of the Lube.Life joint research project, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials IWM have developed a virtual lubricant lab, which can be used to predict the effects of electrical fields on lubricant stability.
With the increase in hydrogen mobility, the network of refuelling stations is densifying. The sector is investing heavily into the infrastructure. This creates a significant demand for measurement technology, mainly to ensure the safety of the refuelling process.
High performance in liquids, gases or air
NKE bearings have been installed in more than 4,000 wind turbines across Europe, the USA and China, equivalent to more than 10,000 MW of installed power.
Ammonia could play a decisive role in the transition from fossil fuels to climate-friendly alternatives if produced from green hydrogen. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Microengineering and Microsystems IMM are developing ammonia-based systems for a mobile, decentralized energy supply in the infrastructure, transportation and industry sectors.
Schubert UK celebrates its 20th anniversary
Fraunhofer Application Center develops new optical safety technology reduces transportation accidents
The decarbonization of energy systems has seen greater interest in the production, distribution and use of hydrogen. To ensure it can become a viable business, custody transfer for hydrogen is essential and this is now being made possible using the latest generation of measurement technologies, as Ricardo Mendes, Global Product Line Manager, ABB explains.
From a two-man operation to global market coverage: the Leonberg-based pump manufacturer plans to expand company headquarters into an innovation campus
The new European HQ of Fluke in Eindhoven, Netherlands is home to a 400sqm customer experience centre to allow customers to experience using products in realistic environments.
Fraunhofer researchers develop sensors for fire and explosion protection
Methanol reformers convert easy-to-transport methanol into hydrogen. But conventional reformers still come with a number of drawbacks – catalyst attrition, to name but one example. An innovative methanol reformer for mobile applications from the Fraunhofer Institute for Microengineering and Microsystems IMM is able to overcome these challenges.
For the safe production of hydrogen by electrolysis
Reliable measurement of hydrogen in gas networks
In Germany, 55 percent of final energy consumption goes towards heating and cooling. However, a lot of heat dissipates unused because it is not generated as and when required. Thermal storage using zeolite material allows heat to be stored for long periods of time without losing any. Fraunhofer researchers are now working on significantly improving the thermal conductivity of zeolites.

Reliable and high-performance wireless connectivity with maximum data transmission rates
For use in a wide range of applications with low flow rates
Currently there is growing interest in the prospect of using the existing natural gas infrastructure more extensively to transport hydrogen – green hydrogen in particular. Linde and Evonik offer joint technology solution.
How can a feed silo or a glass recycling container be transformed into a smart asset? With the battery-operated WILSEN.sonic.level IoT sensor from Pepperl+Fuchs. The autonomous device is connected to the internet via LoRaWAN.
Bringing digitisation to oil and gas
Versatile full-flow valve designed for harsh environments and working pressure of more than 400 bar
As a measurement technique, guided wave radar is established: the equipment is robust, the technology is mature, and the primary application niches have emerged. The problem - until now - was that the instrumentation was notoriously difficult to install.
Easy to install signage for health and safety information
Dedicated showcase for hydrogen and fuel cell technology at HANNOVER MESSE from April 20 to 24
Global Market Insights report expects growth driven by increasing demand in oil and gas applications, in the automotive industry and a rise in demand for optical fibers
Improvement for safety and profitability of oil and gas pipelines
As early as 2022, Bosch wants to generate annual sales of over a billion Euro p.a.
Industrial production, materials flow and logistics systems generate virtually endless amounts of data. But without proper integration and analysis, all that data is pretty much a dead weight.
