Eco-friendly flying is on the horizon. All over the world, researchers are developing new technologies to achieve this goal. One focus of developments is the idea of using hydrogen-powered engines for aircraft in the future. The aircraft companies, though, face the challenge of storing this energy source. Hydrogen turns liquid when cooled to minus 253 […]

Metal forming technology accounts for about 30 per cent of machine tool production and is thus smaller than the machining sector. Forming technology machines include presses, bending machines, punching machines as well as wire working and processing machines. In the form of press technology it is used in larger and longer-lasting projects within the automotive […]

A unique robotic system in the world, implemented by the Italian Institute of Technology and Camozzi Group, contributes in the work safety, testing with cameras and sensors the integrity of the structure, so that collected data allow preventive maintenance interventions, too. San Giorgio Bridge in Genoa, built in record times after the tragedy in August […]

Data is the currency of the future. But how can companies access the immense quantities of data generated by their machinery and use it to modernize production? Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA have developed a software called StationConnector that reads out the data and makes it available to any […]
