ESA LUMIA Handheld: Control in Motion

(EN) With the decentralization of production in Industry 4.0, there is a growing need for smart devices suitable for an increasingly dynamic manufacturing context. The confluence of technological developments such as digitalization and the Internet of Things leads to new ways to control, connect, and manage production devices.

Cognitive Manufacturing in Industry 4.0

(EN) With the Industrial Internet of Things and the connected machinery increase in smart factories, the volume of available data continues to grow. For this reason, we need a production model capable of processing, analyzing, and optimizing all those data, so that it can be valuable in terms of productivity and efficiency.

Difference Between Big Data and Smart Data

(EN) In Industry 4.0, data plays a central role. With the development of faster networks, wider storage space and new sensor technologies, companies have access to ever higher volumes of information. Sometimes even too much...

SoftPLC vs Traditional PLC: Advantages

(EN) What are the advantages of softPLCs vs traditional PLCs? To answer this question, we must take into account the Industry 4.0 context and use its principles (including flexibility, efficiency and cost-effectiveness) as criteria. Here's what we found.

Industrial PCs: Market Growth Forecasts

(EN) After two challenging years, the question arises: what does the future of the IPC market look like? Due to the uncertainties surrounding the pandemic, there is no certainty. However, experts predict not only a recovery, but a rapid development of the industrial PC market in the period between 2021 and 2027.

Internet of Things: Market Trends

(EN) Let’s start with a hot topic in manufacturing: predictive and preventive maintenance. Identifying potential machinery problems before they fail, thus reducing downtime and increasing productivity, is one of the key trends in Industry 4.0.

(IT) In collaborazione con Regione Toscana, nell’ambito POR CreO ESA realizza un progetto per la progettazione integrata di soluzioni di Motion e CNC, associate a strumenti di monitoraggio dei dati per la sostenibilità ambientale e la manutenzione predittiva della produzione

When it comes to augmented reality, industry is one of the most promising fields of application.

Gearmotors: Types and Industrial Applications

(EN) A geared motor is an all-in-one combination consisting of an electric motor and a gearbox. Used for high torque and low speed applications, it is a particularly simple and cost-effective solution to achieve optimal energy efficiency.

Mechatronics: Future Trends and Prospects

(EN) Mechatronics plays a fundamental role in industry. It increases functionality and efficiency making systems smarter and more autonomous, reduces costs compared to mechanical solutions, and optimizes design times. Therefore, it’s reasonable to expect an even stronger presence in the future.

What Is a Servo drive and How Does it Work?

(EN) Motion control systems consist of four main components: a motor, a drive, a controller, and a feedback device. The servo drive acquires the command signal from the controller and adjusts or amplifies it to transmit the specific amount of voltage and current required to achieve the required motion to the motor.
