Waar moet die extra IPC nog passen?

Iedereen die ooit een overvolle schakelkast heeft geopend, kent het gevoel: waar moet die extra IPC nog passen? Onze collega Felix Wildemann (productmanager) laat in de video zien hoe de C60xx series precies daar het verschil maakt. Vier compacte IPC lijnen, elk met hun eigen kracht. Lees verder en bekijk de…

Cleanrooms don’t need more air. They need smarter air

Last week I read a review in Energy & Buildings (Guo et al., 2026) covering 235 studies on cleanroom environmental control. One finding stood out. It goes straight to a debate I’ve had with engineers and clients for years: the difference between robustness and reliability. Read more [Picture source: Jo Nelissen…

MTA introduceert innovatieve Fit Scan

Veel ervaren professionals herkennen zich in de inhoud van een functie, maar twijfelen of de rol daadwerkelijk bij hen past. Juist voor die groep ontwikkelde MTA de Fit Scan. Niet als assessment of selectie-instrument, maar als een laagdrempelige manier om die nieuwsgierigheid te beantwoorden. Lees meer

The next step is not digital engineering, but intelligent engineering

This was Prof. Dr.-Ing. Tomas Smetana’s message of his keynote speech at the PTC Industrial Exchange 2026 in the Festo Technology Center in July 2026. The Member of the Festo Management Board Research and Development explained that AI-supported development and intelligent product life cycles have long been more than visions of the future – they…

Edge intelligence is no longer only about adding more processing power

The real question is more practical: can the system deliver the required performance, stay energy-efficient, remain secure, and still scale across future product generations? As IoT applications become more intelligent, the choice of computing platform becomes a critical system-level decision. That is where System-on-Modules and edge processors become relevant. Read more
