Endurance tests are crucial for quality assurance because they simulate real-world operating conditions over extended periods, allowing for the early detection of potential problems. They serve as quality tests for suppliers and manufacturers and enable the validation of development results. However, since each test specimen requires its own test bench, this results in significant space, personnel, and cost expenditures – making endurance tests, despite their importance, a considerable economic and organizational challenge.

david IoT is a production-ready IoT platform that covers the full digitalization stack: from edge gateway to data processing and cloud visualization. It eliminates typical integration friction through pre-integrated hardware-software stacks. No integration of 5+ vendors is required. **Edge/Gateway (Embedded Linux):** david IoT runs on industrial gateways (partner hardware) and supports common interfaces and protocols such as Modbus RTU/TCP, OPC UA, CAN, MQTT, and REST APIs. You model assets, data points, and alarms locally and can buffer data even without a cloud connection. Remote maintenance and over-the-air updates are part of the system. **Cloud-Plattform (david IoT Backend):** The backend provides hierarchical data models, multi-tenancy (separate environments), role-based access, and REST APIs to integrate into existing IT landscapes (e.g. ERP/CRM). Reporting and exports can be automated. **Extensibility and control:** The platform is container-based (Docker) and can be extended via extensions or custom application logic. The stack is built on standard technologies (e.g. Docker, PostgreSQL, MQTT, REST). Deployment is flexible: on-premise, private cloud, or hyperscalers. Source code access is available upon request to avoid vendor lock-in and secure an exit strategy. An initial proof of concept is often feasible within 4–6 weeks. MVPs are typically delivered in 3–6 months.

The Delfa AxIIIs is an ultra-compact 3-axis force/torque sensor for integration into small and medium-sized robot systems. The sensor element is based on a novel dielectric elastomer and enables precise force measurements in the z-direction as well as the detection of torques around the x- and y-axes. This allows for high-resolution detection of forces and tilts directly at the end effector. With dimensions of only 49 × 20 mm, the sensor is ideal for space-constrained integrations. I²C and UART interfaces are available immediately, with an RS485 interface to follow. The sensor offers a cost-effective entry into tactile robotics sensing and is designed for both research and development as well as industrial automation applications.

This type of robot is based on the principle of parallel kinematics. All drives are mounted in a fixed position on the robot head. Motor cables are not moved. The robot has three (3) translational and one (1) rotational degree(s) of freedom. This robot mechanic is suitable for applications that require maximum repeatability, absolute accuracy and path accuracy in the 1/1000 mm range thanks to its high-end direct drives and high-precision joints.

If you have chosen a feeder system from RNA, we offer you the unique added value of mapping your plant completely digitally – not statically, but dynamically! With our multiphysics simulation software Digital Feeder, we simulate the function of your plant in order to avoid cost- and time-intensive commissioning loops, which are common in feeding technology. Before the start of production, the sorting solutions we design can be tested by simulation, the optimum geometry of each individual sorting (tooling) can be determined, checked and approved. This makes RNA's feeding systems 100% digital and reproducible. The feeding system is equipped with material-specific toolings, which can be milled or printed. These toolings can thus be produced within a few days after simulation of the bulk material behaviour and changed within a few minutes - the digital twin of your feeding system!

Regular team meetings are the core principle of successful shop floor management, where team members can discuss the most important things in a concise format. This includes an overview of open tasks and who is responsible for them, a summary of the status of work progress, and conclusions about the further course forward. In addition, the team also checks relevant key production figures or disruptions that occur in the value-added process. The aim of a shop floor meeting is to minimize information gaps and make work processes more efficient. This also reduces the stress placed on the employees because they are not constantly “putting out fires.” Instead, you can act preventively. More transparency in your processes If a conventional whiteboard stands at the center of your weekly shop floor meeting, you are probably also struggling with outdated or lost information. Thanks to our low-code software, Peakboard Designer, you can set up a customized digital dashboard for your meeting in no time and keep an eye on all of your team’s tasks at all times. To get started even faster, you can use our ready-made template to create new tasks, assign them to individual employees, and change the processing status. Whether it’s a standard monitor or a touchscreen, you can interactively update your dashboard if a process changes. Best of all, the data is also written back to the pre-configured data sources, eliminating the need for duplicate maintenance. In addition, you have the option to display other dashboard views that show relevant production information, such as safety and quality indicators, downtimes, scrap rates, cycle times, or OEE values that you can discuss at your shop floor meeting.
