Who’s the world market leader and who isn’t? The cross-industry world market leader index from the University of St. Gallen answers this question. In the opinion of study leader Professor Christoph Müller, these include globally active and successful companies with leading technology and mostly family management. A database with over …

Contrinex’s Weld-immune inductive sensors, available from PLUS Automation, are renowned for their performance and robustness, and the optional ACTIVSTONE ceramic coating provides the highest level of weld-spatter resistance. The durable, non-stick, high-performance ceramic coating which is on all external surfaces of the sensor and its fixing nuts, prevents weld spatter …

Movella, a leading full-stack provider of sensors, software, and analytics that enable the digitisation of movement, has formed a partnership with precise positioning sensor manufacturer Fixposition to accelerate the development and commercialisation of GNSS inertial navigation sensors that implement visual inertial odometry. Fixposition has pioneered the implementation of visual inertial …

The new LS25CI throughbeam photoelectric sensor from Leuze is powerful and flexible and can transilluminate even metallized and dark films – meets the stringent requirements of the packaging industry. The films used in the packaging industry vary greatly: they are more or less transparent and sometimes even dark or metallized. …

Contrinex’s new stainless-steel-bodied M18 photoelectric sensors, available from PLUS Automation, have arrived and look like repeating the success of their plastic-bodied sisters. The best-in-class sensing distances, exclusive Contrinex ASIC technology, IO-Link connectivity and competitive price is carried across into the stainless-steel bodied versions. The plastic sensors have quickly become popular, …

The growth of rail transportation and rail travel is becoming increasingly important to the UK’s infrastructure network with current passenger and freight volumes predicted to double by 2050. Experts believe this mode of transportation can be a sustainable alternative to short-distance air travel while increasing freight via rail would complement …
