Full power at the Olympics To provide the best experience of watching this event from home, the organizers of the Olympics used only premium camera solutions from Egripment. The fourth industrial revolution – changes and challenges We are now at the beginning of the 4th industrial revolution, also known as digital manufacturing, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0. So what does this change mean for business and the workforce? The future of farming Whether in the field, in the barn, or in the greenhouse, robots and drones already handle a lot of tasks. Here’s what they can do. Webinar: Choosing drive systems for lab automation This maxon webinar looks at the latest motor and drive technologies used in laboratory automation applications. The future is AGV The automated guided vehicles market is booming. These are the top 3 highest growth markets for AGVs. Growth in automation in e-commerce Why is growth in e-commerce intrinsically linked to growth in automation? Why AGVs can be the solution in logistics Logistics services now need new solutions. Are AGVs the perfect assistant in this booming market? Webinar: Agriculture 4.0 and drive technology Watch this webinar to discover how maxon drives are being used in the fourth agricultural revolution. IP65, IP67, IP68…What do protection ratings mean? If you are working on a project that calls for an electric motor unit, you will certainly have come across the terms IP65, IP67 and IP68. What do these protection ratings cover? Which protection should be chosen based on your project? Here's a brief answer to these questions. Intralogistics: AGV vs. AMR Until recently, AGVs were the only option for automating internal transport tasks. Today, a more sophisticated technology is competing with them: Autonomous Mobile Robots AMR. Although both AGVs and AMRs allow materials to be moved from point A to point B, the comparison ends there. In the semiconductor industry, cleanliness and precision are absolutely critical. Swiss vacuum specialist VAT therefore partnered up with maxon to develop a drive system for wafer processing. Challenges for the packaging industry The packaging world needs solutions that offer greater profitability and meet environmental requirements. Digitization needs to pay off Industry 4.0 has been a hot topic at maxon since the drive specialist introduced configurable drives. Now we’re continuing to drive digitization – but not at all costs. 5 key points when motorizing an AGV AGVs cannot fail, and so the choice of their motorization is crucial.
