Die Industrie der Landtechnik befindet sich im Umbruch. Angesichts der immer stärkeren Trends zur Elektrifizierung und Automatisierung überdenken die Hersteller für alle Systeme der modernen Landtechnik, wie Leistung bereitgestellt, geregelt und überwacht werden soll. Von kompakten Weinbaurobotern bis hin zu Hybrid-Traktoren – der Off-Highway-Sektor steigt auf smartere, umweltverträglichere Technologien um, die alle Aspekte vom Wirkungsgrad bis hin zur Nachhaltigkeit verbessern.
Sustainability is about much more than just reducing carbon emissions. It also entails a sense of responsibility for social and environmental matters, something that has always been important to the fluidics experts at Bürkert. However, the family-run business believes that previous approaches in this area have not gone far enough in tackling global climate change.
Across a range of medical and laboratory applications, confirmation of liquid flow status is critical, but integrating sensors or electronics to check the performance of functions like valve switching adds design complexity. Bürkert has developed a set of algorithms to monitor the induced current within its electrodynamic whisper valves, presenting a range of diagnostic capabilities to identify faults for immediate and preventative maintenance, and increased process intelligence.
Web tension control is fundamental to applications such as printing, packaging, and textiles processing. To achieve a high-quality process, and maintain rapid throughput, precise control over the tension and speed of the material is vital.
Industrial controls specialist TIC and industrial enclosure manufacturer Spelsberg have entered a new partnership, jointly providing their services in a combined approach. TIC is presenting Spelsberg’s industrial enclosures on its new e-commerce website, tic-direct.com, enabling fast and simple product selection and purchase.
Huhtamaki’s Franeker plant in the Netherlands manufactures more than 11 million egg cartons every week using recycled paper. To keep this production moving around the clock, the factory relies on highly automated lines that must be stable, easy to maintain, and adaptable to future needs.
In agriculture, where seasonal windows dictate productivity, the reliability of harvesters and balers is critical. Machinery failure during peak harvesting times can lead to costly delays, crop loss, and increased labor expenses. For original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), this puts a premium on designing equipment that combines durability, serviceability and operational efficiency.
In der Landwirtschaft, wo die Produktivität von saisonalen Zeitfenstern abhängig ist, spielt die Zuverlässigkeit von Erntemaschinen und Ballenpressen eine maßgebliche Rolle. Maschinenversagen während der Haupterntezeiten kann zu teuren Verzögerungen, Ernteausfällen und höheren Arbeitskosten führen. Landmaschinenhersteller müssen daher Maschinen entwickeln, die Belastbarkeit, Wartungsfreundlichkeit und Betriebseffizienz in sich vereinen.
