Fine-tuning the drive technology at the machines has been intensifying this year, however, the fine-tuning’s emphases remain unchanged the same as last year.

The compact know-how of well-known drive manufacturers about energy efficient drives in the F&B Industry serves as tool to facilitate the necessary decisions in this industry.

Fine-tuning the consisting control systems at the machines instead of changing the control technology – the motto of the German machine-builders this year.

Nearly a third of the machine-builders is planning to implement energy efficient drives this year. So the last year’s trend is to continue intensified.

Quest Trend Magazine publishes the current “voter transition analysis” for the control technology in the German machinery industry. It shows, which control technologies are attractive, substitution-threatened or stable in the change this year.

The requirements on sensors show clear but differentiated emphases.

The German machine-builders are intensified interested in application-optimised I/O modules this year. This confirms the trend to fine-tuning the control and drive technologies that determines the changes in the automation technology this year.

Machine-builders in Germany prefer fine-tuning the control technology this year. The Panel PC benefits from this current trend.

Change to Ethernet-based field buses in the centre of interest in the German machinery industry

The Quest Trend Magazine publishes trends in automation technology from user’s point of view in machinery industry, automotive and F&B industries in Germany.
