Integrated cyber security – to secure your machines

In the context of digitalization and industrial development, cyber security is becoming increasingly important. Meshing IT and OT creates new areas of attack, as not only IT but also machines and production systems are becoming targets for cyber attacks. These attacks can cause production downtime, machine standstills and data loss. Read more

AI, industry, and motion control: Why Europe’s strength now lies in mechanical engineering

Anyone involved in AI quickly encounters a familiar narrative: the major breakthroughs are happening elsewhere. In the U.S. and Asia, tech companies are investing billions in data centers, platforms, and foundation models. In this picture, Europe often appears as a bystander – strong in regulation, but weak in scaling and speed. However, this narrative falls short. It views artificial intelligence…

Van afhankelijkheid naar diversificatie in de maakindustrie

Machinebouwers hebben niet meer dezelfde behoefte als vijftig jaar geleden. Een diversificatie van toeleveranciers, meer zekerheid als veiligheid en een snellere time-to-market zijn essentieel. Aan partijen als Lenze de uitdaging om aan deze behoefte te voldoen. ‘Het is nu de tijd van executie.’ Lees verder [Bron: linkmagazine.nl]

Variable frequency drives in mechanical engineering: practical explanations of applications and use cases

VFDs have long been more than just “speed controllers” in mechanical engineering. They are a process tool that turns a rigid mains supply into a variably controllable motor supply – and thus turns “on/off” into a movement that can be specifically adapted to the product, process, and environment. Technically speaking, a VFD converts the constant mains voltage and mains frequency into…
