How drive solutions from FAULHABER move an exoskeleton
Faulhaber - Lifting, carrying and bending down are all part of the daily work routine in logistics warehouses, when delivering parcels or at airports. These activities are physically demanding and over time can also result in physical strain. Robotics cannot take over these tasks completely, but it can support humans where it counts: directly on the body and during work. To provide this support, SUITX has developed a smart exoskeleton: the IX BACK VOLTON.

As machine builders push for higher airflow in more compact designs, does the industry need to rethink valve platform architecture?
Emerson - Across factory automation, packaging, water treatment, and automotive manufacturing, machine builders are facing a familiar challenge: higher airflow demands in increasingly compact machine designs. Moving to a larger valve platform can solve the airflow problem but introduces new complexity — different interfaces, different configurations, and disruption to established machine architectures. The AVENTICS XV05 High Flow Valve System addresses this gap directly.
