Machine-builders expecting yearly 2.7% growth until 2016
Behind this average size a broad range of different growth expectations becomes visible. It reaches from a decline in production over stagnation up to growth expectations of more than 50%.
Safety Ethernet in the German Machinery Industry Until 2015
Currently 33% of the machine-builders are using Safety Ethernet but Safety Ethernet is being implemented at just 6% of the machines.
The change of the control technologies 2011 from users’ view
The fair SPS/IPC/Drives in November 2011 in Nuremberg bids with newest technologies for users. However, how can the impact of the users, the machine-builders on the technological change be currently und detailed determined?
IO-Link has been continuously growing in the German machinery industry since 2007, Quest Trend Magazine reveals
The implementation of IO-Link shows neither an erratic upward development nor a tough stagnation but a continuous, step by step spreading with more and more machine-builders in more and more sectors of the German machinery industry.
Ethernet at packaging machines from 2005 to 2012
Packaging machines belong to the pacesetter of the use of real time Ethernet compared with the total machinery industry. However, the fast pace of using Ethernet will be weakened in the future to 2012.
Integrated control technologies are preferred in the change, new Quest study reveals
Machine-builders in Germany who are changing the control technology at the machines this year prefer integrated control technologies. This reveals the new Quest study as the Quest Trend Magazine reports.
„What the machine-builders want to change in the automation technology 2011“- new Quest study
The intended technology changes in the control and drive technology, the implementation of robotics, energy efficient drives, I/O modules and IO-Link and RFID this year.
„Ethernet and Safety Ethernet 2010 – 2012“ – new Quest study
The new Quest study unveils trends and innovations to Ethernet from the machinery industry’s point of view.
RFID – constantly and throughout the machinery industry implemented
Bochum, July 5, 2010. This year 14% of the machine-builders intend to implement RFID at the machines.
RFID stands for radio frequency identification and provides the wireless identification of goods, semi-manufactures or workpieces in the industrial sector.
Last year 15% of the machine-builders wanted to implement RFID at the machines. So RFID shows a constant implementation during the last two years.
This implementation is taking place with all or almost all of the ten investigated sectors
The current technological change in the control technology from users’ point of view
Quest Trend Magazine publishes the current “voter transition analysis” for the control technology. It shows, which control technologies are attractive, substitution-threatened or stable in the change according to the machine-builders this year.
