The brand-new Siemens AI agent Eigen Engineering Agent enables efficiency gains of up to 50 percent in engineering tasks for automation.

Monitoring of system components is now widely used to increase system availability and carry out maintenance work cost-effectively. The focus is usually on external actuators and sensors, while the control cabinet as the heart of the system often receives less attention. However, the inside of the enclosure is also exposed to numerous hazards and the effects of ageing. Temperature, humidity, air pressure, vibration and shocks are typical environmental factors that can affect the service life of the enclosure. With a Cabinet Guard in the control cabinet, all this information can be monitored, analysed or alarms generated, completely independently of the PLC. The Cabinet Guard is configured conveniently via a web interface. The measured values can be easily forwarded to other components or higher-level systems (host computer, MES, cloud) via MQTT and ModbusTCP. At the same time, the measured values can be saved to an SD card for long-term recording, which also enables long-term evaluation of ageing phenomena. To improve the efficiency of the system, the recordings of the control cabinets of different machines can be compared and thus optimisation possibilities can be found in the design. Thanks to its distance sensor, the Cabinet Guard can also monitor the opening of the enclosure doors. The Cabinet Guard is therefore also an important sensor when considering the security of a machine.

Custom-made cable assemblies – reliable, flexible, and ready for immediate use.

Click.it Pro offers direct access to the system for employees at manual workstations via an intuitive user interface. The five programmable buttons allow flexible adaptation to your workplace requirements, while the display with real-time information and status messages promotes efficient communication and fast responses. In addition, flexible user customizations can be made via the web application configuration.

Manufacturing environments are becoming increasingly complex, while the pressure to continuously improve efficiency and quality is rising. However, many optimization initiatives remain isolated and fail to deliver sustainable business value. We enable continuous process improvement through an integrated closed-loop approach that connects operational data, artificial intelligence, factory simulation, and digital manufacturing. Production data is systematically captured and analyzed using AI to steer and optimize processes and assets in a targeted way. Factory simulation and digital manufacturing form a continuous feedback loop. Improvement measures are virtually tested, validated, and then transferred into real production, where new data is generated and fed back into the simulation. The result is increased efficiency, greater transparency, and measurable productivity gains with scalable implementation and high security standards.

The rotatable tubing clamp systems of the FLEXA RQDR series enable secure, space-saving installation directly on the robot arm – without restricting its range of motion. In combination with the movable RQMR-MOVE insert and the highly flexible ROHRflex MOVE corrugated conduit, the result is a system that offers maximum flexibility. Thanks to the FLEXAquick principle, assembly is quick and tool-free by using a snap lock.
