As a major manufacturer of automation solutions for yachts, BÖNING Automationstechnologie has equipped about 13,000 ships with engine electronics and more than 1,500 yachts with ship alarm systems. For many years, the alarm, monitoring and control systems have been delivered with their own operating units in different sizes. The new solution B⋮MACS PE was developed especially for connection to the chart plotter to expand the range of applications.
Crew-free ships – not the romantic notion of a sailor? Initiatives for autonomous ships are driving this development. However, there’s a long way to go in getting engine rooms, which can currently operate for up to 24 hours straight without direct intervention, to a completely autonomous ship that should be able to run for up to six weeks at sea without human intervention.
B&R now makes it easier than ever to implement safety communication between machines and machine modules. An update to its mapp Safety software now enables programmable safety functions to be used across complex manufacturing systems with virtually no additional effort – greatly reducing the time spent implementing systemwide safety functions. To achieve Industry 4.0 functionality, modern manufacturing equipment needs to be densely interconnected.
After edgeConnector Siemens for connecting SIMATIC S7 controllers and edgeConnector 840D for accessing data from SINUMERIK 840D controllers, Softing introduces edgeConnector Modbus. This Docker Container is suitable for connecting Modbus TCP controllers e.g., from Schneider Electric, Wago, Beckhoff or Phoenix Contact, to industrial IoT applications.
Machine designers can save time and costs, optimize machine performance, and get to market faster using the new FactoryTalk Logix Echo controller emulation software. The software is now available for use with the ControlLogix 5580 family of controllers from Rockwell Automation. Using the emulation software, engineers can fully test control code in a virtual environment.
Siemens Digitalization Consulting has already accompanied numerous decision-makers at pharmaceutical companies on their path to digitalization. Its team of experts with backgrounds in industry, IT, and automation enables consultants to work closely in partnership with customers to develop and define their digitalization roadmap.

Long-term care (LTC) pharmacies and facilities play a critical role in caring for the needs of an aging population with a lengthening lifespan. An expanding higher acuity aging population and limited clinical resources raise the importance of accurate and cost-effective medication management to provide quality care. To help address these challenges, long-term care facilities and pharmacies are partnering with Swisslog Healthcare to deliver in-facility dispensing technology.
Imagine having one system that clearly controls the access permissions for your machine. One system that allows your employees to avoid errors through clearly controlled permission systems. One system that means no more passwords that are hard to remember or need to be written down. One system that removes the need for countless different keys.
