Start-up business Matta says it is building industrial AI for factory sentience - giving factories the ability to see, understand and improve themselves in real time.

WDS Components is pleased to announce the launch of a new, comprehensive range of fixed force gas struts. These struts are factory set at pre-determined pressures, meaning the output force is constant and precisely calibrated to suit specific applications.

Siemens, has unveiled the latest significant updates to its Simcenter X software, a cloud-based environment that brings together the full breadth of simulation and optimisation technologies in a single, unified solution.

Inovance provided visitors at SPS 2025 with the first European preview of its versatile new INO AIR real-time servo control solution with wireless technology. The Inovance stand also featured demonstrations of the company's Total Automation Solution in action, covering the full range of connected industrial automation technologies.

ifm introduces its new robust fail-safe inductive sensors, engineered for the food and beverage industry. The company says these all-metal sensors establish a new standard for safety and reliability in extreme conditions.

Wurth Elektronik expands its range of FeatherWing development boards to include the Daphnis-I FeatherWing Board. The energy-efficient Daphnis-I radio module installed on the board operates using the LoRaWAN 1.0.4 protocol (Long Range Wide Area Network).

TE Connectivity presents a Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) hybrid connector in M12 format. This development helps enable users to connect systems and machines within factory floor networks.

Gravity-loaded axes in robotics applications must be safe. At SPS 2025, mayr power transmission showed the new generation of ROBA topstop safety brakes make this possible in smart environments.

The word "automation" often conjures images of tangled cables, crowded control cabinets and layers of software, each performing a small part of a larger system. Yet as production lines evolve, this complexity can hold progress back. Here, Bradley McEwan, business development manager at Beckhoff, explains why simplifying control architecture can unlock higher performance, faster development and longer system lifespans.

To help engineers meet the demands of modern machine automation and test stands - such as wind channels or model testing - Hottinger Bruel and Kjaer (HBK), has added a low-capacity model to its sensor family: the MCS10.
