The RIVCLINCH® joining system is a process for joining metal sheets by means of selective cold forming—without the use of fasteners or filler materials. Joining is achieved by interlocking two or more metal layers. The RIVCLINCH® technology is a cost-effective, environmentally friendly process for joining steel and stainless steel sheets, as well as aluminum and/or non-ferrous metals. We now also offer this efficient process in a fully automated version.

Our RIVKLE® setting heads enable automation of the processing of blind rivet nuts and screws. RIVKLE® feeding is carried out on vibratory spiral conveyors or other distribution systems. Process control is also integrated. RIVKLE® blind rivet nuts and screws with hexagonal shanks can be fed without any problems and processed in all spatial positions, even overhead.

The Compact Line offers high performance in a compact design. The product portfolio includes the Micropilot FMR43, a compact radar device for non-contact level measurements with either 80 GHz or 180 GHz, as well as the proven-in-use point level sensor Liquiphant FTL43 and a reliable Cerabar PMP43 for pressure and hydrostatic level measurement. Specifically designed to meet the requirements in hygienic applications, our solutions increase the productivity, safety and simplicity of processes.

The comX 90 communication module has been designed for integration into field devices to provide network connectivity, for example, to drives or robots. All communication tasks are executed autonomously within the module – independently of the processor of the target device. Process data is exchanged via an SPI interface. The embedded module combines integrated hardware and software components to meet the requirements of IEC 62443, thereby significantly enhancing cybersecurity at the field level. comX supports all leading Real-Time Ethernet protocols in slave mode and meets all network-specific requirement within a single module. To support a line topology, the module has two Ethernet ports. To switch protocols quickly and reliably, simply load the corresponding firmware. - The integrated Hilscher netX SoC ensures a 10-year delivery guarantee. - One hardware design for all Industrial Ethernet and IIoT networks - CRA-compliant replacement for COMX 51CA-RE with SPI host interface, no redesign required - Fast time-to-market with a complete slave interface and "onboard" network connector - IIoT-ready for additional use cases such as condition monitoring or predictive maintenance - Energy-efficient design with 65% lower power loss - Harmonized hardware, firmware, and tools for cyber-secure industrial communication

With ConTrax® HybridNav, BÄR Automation presents its first navigation software developed in-house for automated guided vehicles (AGVs). The solution was specifically designed for demanding industrial environments where flexibility, safety, and predictability are equally important—regardless of whether the project is a brownfield or greenfield project.

Peakboard & AI – building apps is finally even more fun If you’ve always thought Peakboard was simple, you haven’t tried Peakbot AI yet. With the new AI built right into Peakboard Designer, building apps is as easy as having a conversation: you simply say in plain language what you want your app to do – and Peakbot automatically translates that into ready-made logic blocks. No code, no guesswork, no frantic searching through the documentation. Or ask it about existing projects – you’ll get all the support you need, wherever you are. In short: Peakboard was already as easy as PowerPoint – now you’ve got an AI assistant to take the work off your hands. Your dashboard practically builds itself.

The transmitters and receivers of signals or messages are connected to one another via data cables. LAPP offers highly reliable data cables for Fieldbus and Ethernet systems so that machines, entire factories and office buildings can communicate with one another. Our industrial communication product range covers all of the most popular protocol standards such as PROFIBUS, CC-Link and CANopen, as well as PROFINET and Ethernet/IP. A wide selection of data cables is also available for telephone, coaxial and low-frequency applications.

Regular team meetings are the core principle of successful shop floor management, where team members can discuss the most important things in a concise format. This includes an overview of open tasks and who is responsible for them, a summary of the status of work progress, and conclusions about the further course forward. In addition, the team also checks relevant key production figures or disruptions that occur in the value-added process. The aim of a shop floor meeting is to minimize information gaps and make work processes more efficient. This also reduces the stress placed on the employees because they are not constantly “putting out fires.” Instead, you can act preventively. More transparency in your processes If a conventional whiteboard stands at the center of your weekly shop floor meeting, you are probably also struggling with outdated or lost information. Thanks to our low-code software, Peakboard Designer, you can set up a customized digital dashboard for your meeting in no time and keep an eye on all of your team’s tasks at all times. To get started even faster, you can use our ready-made template to create new tasks, assign them to individual employees, and change the processing status. Whether it’s a standard monitor or a touchscreen, you can interactively update your dashboard if a process changes. Best of all, the data is also written back to the pre-configured data sources, eliminating the need for duplicate maintenance. In addition, you have the option to display other dashboard views that show relevant production information, such as safety and quality indicators, downtimes, scrap rates, cycle times, or OEE values that you can discuss at your shop floor meeting.
