In metaIworking production there are two drivers for automated workpiece handling: Cost reduction by increasing the utilization degree of machine tools and the shortage of skilled workers. At machining centers the automated loading and unloading of workpieces saves precious machining time and therefore increases OEE. Up to now the positions

SAMS components offer the possibility to connect internal digital or analog signals directly to the physical pins 2 and 4 of the connector.
This is helpful, for example, if the cycle time of the entire topology consisting of IO-Link cycle, network cycle and PLC cycle is too time-critical for certain signals and the signals need to be transferred faster for a smooth process.

There are several reasons to outsource certain tasks from a higher-level control system and have them performed directly in the devices in the field. Reducing the control code and thus reducing memory space and cycle times can, for example, increase the efficiency of the system

Increasing the efficiency of machines and plants requires powerful, multifunctional solutions that provide data on the machine condition in addition to the machine control. With the condition monitoring information obtained from this the performance of each machine and thus of the entire plant can be optimized

The Corona pandemic created a huge demand for Covid testing equipment. To ramp up such a production volume can only be realized by the usage of automated production with machinery equipment. Also most of the components for lab analysis are produced in an automated manner along with the performance of lab analysis processes.
For the production of devices for blood analysis or for diagnosis of tissue samples as well as for the assembly of other medical devices automated processes increase both efficiency and reliability.

Lab equipment assists diagnostic activities. It often consists of high tech systems which use a variety of components. Manufacturers of equipment often qualify standard sensors (“catalogue goods”) or modifications of standard sensors as component purchasing within a defined supplier management.

Washing machines, dryers, refrigerators and other large household appliances are manufactured in complex, highly automated manufacturing processes.
But even in predominantly manual production and assembly processes, individual process steps can also be effectively automated. One example is the quality inspection of the drive belt assembly in a washing machine production.
