WeASSIST is an innovative plug & play solution for comprehensive per-manent monitoring of all your production and logistics processes – cloud-based, easy to install, quickly retrofittable and widely scalable. Whether used on machines or systems, in logistics areas or at manual workstations – WeASSIST by WERMA ensures transparency, digitally and in real time. This helps you to identify problems before they arise and to constantly optimise processes. WeASSIST – stay on top of things in real time. WeASSIST by WERMA is the ideal solution for all companies aiming to bring full transparency to their entire value chain. The cross-industry cloud solution consists of hardware and software and turns networking and Industry 4.0 into reality quickly, easily, and without involving major installation work or programming. This lets you easily implement com-prehensive monitoring and constant optimisation of all manufacturing processes – digital, cloud-based and scalable at any time. All relevant data is clearly displayed regardless of the source (manufac-turer, type and age of machines or manual workstations). Unlike com-plex MDC/MES systems or IoT solutions, WeASSIST allows you to easily identify and evaluate every optimisation potential: in real time and from anywhere. Being "out of the box" solutions, the hardware and software are quick to deploy. And WeASSIST can be easily integrated into existing structures as a retrofit solution. Because it is a cloud solution, you can always stay on top of things from anywhere using any devices. This means process op-timisation has never been so easy – WERMA calls it “process optimisation in one minute”.

At this time it is not possible for our customers to visit Bopla Gehäuse Systeme GmbH, so we are making it possible for them to experience our products and services in the form of virtual tours of the company. At every station of the tour, clickable texts and video information provide more information. This offer is available immediately to both customers and all interested parties. As Ralf Bokämper, BOPLA’s managing director, explains: “In normal times we regularly invite our customers to visit us in Bünde so that they can learn about our manufacturing possibilities and service offers. After all, what we do isn’t as easy as it looks at first sight.” However, the pandemic is making this type of personal customer care just as impossible as trade fairs, which are also an important way for BOPLA to interact with customers. Consequently, in order to be able to contact customers, the specialist for electronics enclosures is now offering two virtual tours of the company. The website provides an opportunity for customers to take a brief tour and to visit the most important production sectors, to use the 360° pan facility to inspect the relevant manufacturing department, and also to get a close-up view of the individual items. Clicking again on marked info points opens text windows with initial information and also additional links to catalogue pages and video clips. In order to have a detailed and guided tour of the entire company, it is necessary to arrange an appointment, but this is easily done with just a few clicks. All that is necessary for a virtual visit to BOPLA using a PC or a mobile device is an internet connection – there is no need for a separate app.

The successful MC product family from WERMA impresses with up to seven colors in just one luminaire. The series is available in two different sizes and optionally with or without additional acoustics. Thanks to the high IP69K protection rating and UL approval for the US market, the MC range of beacons can also be used in extreme conditions worldwide. The MC55 series is now also available as a touch version with smart functions. Powerful, robust and compact product family in two sizes The MC series from WERMA is available in two sizes: the MC35 has a diameter of 35 mm and the MC55 measures 55 mm. Both LED lights offer up to seven colors - red, yellow, green, white, blue, violet and turquoise - in a single light. Alternatively, a tricolor version with the colors red, yellow and green is available. All models are also available with loud acoustics to attract additional attention. The lights are not only clearly visible from all sides, but also offer a long service life of up to 50,000 hours, making them particularly easy to maintain. They are also robust and designed for extreme operating conditions. Thanks to the high IP69K protection rating and UL approval for the US market, they can be used worldwide, including in food processing and other demanding industries. New variants with smart touch function WERMA is now expanding the compact MC series with two new models: the MC55 Touch and MC55 Touch Smart. Both variants offer additional smart functions such as status change by touch, acknowledgement and time-based escalation modes. This provides even more flexibility and smart solutions for industrial applications. The new products add an innovative touch function to the MC55 series and offer intelligent solutions for modern machine and system control: The new MC55 Touch offers three predefined colors red, yellow and green in just one light. The user can trigger a pulse signal by touching it and thus provide feedback to a control system.

Compact, powerful, and versatile The compact drive concept offers numerous advantages: Absolute position available at all times – thanks to battery-free multiturn gearing, no reference runs are necessary. Simple cabling and touchable components – thanks to low voltage and integrated electronics. Flexible motor and gear variants – from brush-type to electronically commutated, with or without holding brake. Safety functions such as STO and SS1 – optionally integrated for increased machine safety. Uniform control across all variants – regardless of the selected fieldbus. New perspectives with EtherCAT NC With the latest expansion for EtherCAT NC functions, TR Electronic is taking a decisive step forward: encoTRive drives can now be integrated into the EtherCAT world in a manufacturer-neutral manner. The drive only controls the speed, while position control is handled entirely by EtherCAT and the controller. This architecture enables very fast and convenient integration into the control environment. Actuator remains actuator – with more convenience Despite the expanded functionality, encoTRive still offers the option of completely internal position control, but integration into EtherCAT NC makes it much easier for the user: On the control side, the actuator behaves exactly in line with the NC technology functions, which simplifies project planning and speeds up commissioning. With this innovation, TR Electronic once again underlines its claim to combine technological innovation with practical application – for greater efficiency, flexibility, and future-proofing in automation.
