It is hard to believe that the Inductive Sensor - which is now 63 years old - is still as much in demand as it was at its peak. It is quite literally a true evergreen owing to the green end cap on the latest Pepperl+Fuchs generation. This range of sensors has since grown to be one of the most extensive. That reflects not only the huge importance Pepperl+Fuchs places on the proximity sensor.

The ultra-compact Arm-based UC-2100 Series computing platform is easy to deploy and designed for embedded data acquisition and processing in industrial applications. With MXIO library unified APIs and active tag support for Moxa ioLogik I/O devices, the platform enables efficient data acquisition.

Visualise Wireless Networks ensuring maximum uptime for your AGV and AS/RS Systems. The pandemic has fuelled e-commerce and smart factory trends that are driving a strong demand for automated material handling (AMH) systems, such as AGV and AS/RS. These systems are considered critical assets. However, an unstable wireless signal could easily disrupt their operations.

The new normal has accelerated the digital transformation of many industries and has completely changed the way we work. As a result, the demand for remote service is rising dramatically.

To keep up with changing connectivity requirements while saving you time and effort, the EDS-2000-EL Series unmanaged switches include 5- and 8-port Ethernet options, with the 5-port model only measuring 18 x 81 x 65 mm. In addition, a robust design allows you to continue to meet your demands for flexibility, reliability, and continuity.

Moxa, a leading provider of industrial edge connectivity solutions, introduced a new series of secure hardened Modbus-to-BACnet protocol gateways.
