As industries face more challenges, the significance of automation also grows. It determines the future sustainability of businesses. Developing automation in a way that is future-proof, intelligent, and powerful is essential. Murrelektronik refers to this as “Shaping Automation” and once again emphasizes its position as a pioneer – including at SPS 2024.
Facing obstacles and molding the destiny ahead
In every sector, efforts are directed towards enhancing productivity through the enhancement of system and machine efficiency. As quantities rose, production costs went down, while also lowering the CO2 footprint in terms of overall sustainability. In order to accomplish this, it is necessary to reduce downtimes, increase running times, and decrease maintenance intervals and duration. With an increasing lack of skilled workers and global competition, particularly from the Far East, all of this happens in the environment.
For Murrelektronik, shaping automation involves addressing these challenges and molding the future for its clients.
Decentralized, smooth, eco-friendly
Murrelektronik, a designer for automation, offers manufacturing companies a threefold solution to challenges: decentralized, seamless, sustainable.
These are some of the new products that Murrelektronik will present at the SPS 2024 fair
The Vario-X automation platform
With the Vario-X automation platform, you can set new standards in terms of energy efficiency, flexibility and future-proofing. Save costs through reduced energy consumption, lower CO₂ emissions and overcome the shortage of skilled workers with ready-made software modules. Vario-X enables decentralized installation without a control cabinet – Zero Cabinet, which offers you maximum flexibility in system design.
Thanks to the modular design, you can add or replace components as required – easily and without long downtimes. The digital twin makes it possible to test and optimize your machine virtually before commissioning. Thanks to integrated condition monitoring, you can continuously monitor the condition of your system and take action at an early stage before failures occur. Ensure your competitiveness and react quickly to new requirements – with Vario-X you always stay one step ahead.
uKonn-X
Automation systems are becoming increasingly intelligent and powerful, but also more complex. This increases the likelihood of errors when installing and connecting machine components. uKonn-X, short for “you connect anything”, lives up to its name: like a pilot, the digital system guides the user step by step and in an easy-to-understand manner through even complex installations or commissioning. uKonn-X embodies the “seamless” approach and connects all steps along the product development process.
Machine vision installation systems
When it comes to power supply, signal and data management for the smart networking of camera technology, Murrelektronik is the ideal partner. The focus is on decentralized, pluggable modules that can be mounted directly in the machine environment, such as switches, IO modules and power supplies. As well as high-performance, pre-assembled cable and connector technology.
IO-Link
IO-Link system is a universal installation system, ideal for getting started with digitalization and at the same time a future-proof IIoT concept. It easily integrates all types of signals. Murrelektronik broad product portfolio includes IO-Link masters, hubs, individual lights, push-buttons, control devices and signal towers.
MQ15
Nothing works in production without power, because machines and systems need power – reliable, easy to install and safe to operate. Murrelektronik offers you a solution with the standardized power connectors of the MQ15 series</a>. A ¼ turn is all it takes to securely lock the connector and it is sealed to IP67
