Factory of the Future, which welcomed over 125 industry professionals, this year’s event agenda will feature 16 expert-led sessions spanning the full range of electronics production processes and technologies.
Attendees will gain insights from over 25
leading suppliers like Koh Young, PVA, Heller Industries, Essemtec, and Asscon, who will present their cutting-edge products and solutions through hands-on demonstrations. Joe Booth, chief executive of Altus Group, said: “It is our mission to be the best at what we do for the customers we serve, and I believe that we can offer a huge amount of value to our partners outside of our day-to-day operations by hosting and investing in events like this one. “Our customers are always interested in
best practices or what is new, and these events allow them to network, learn, understand future roadmaps, and leave with many ideas they can apply to their facility.”
ABB creates medium voltage, speed-controlled motor concept
ABB’s MV Titanium concept is the world’s industrial motor, in the 1-to-5-megawatt (MW) range that brings connectivity and control features in an easy to specify and install package.
processes, which today account for 10% of the world’s electricity. traction in small size motors, for low voltage applications. But large motors have so far been left behind, due to initial cost and complexity, with only 10-15% currently connected to a drive,” said Heikki Vepsäläinen, president of ABB Large Motors and Generators.
“But that is set to change with our new
MV Titanium concept that makes it cost- effective and straightforward to install a suitable matched motor, with increased control, monitoring, and connectivity in a single package. It is the right upgrade solution for existing direct-on-line motors. And the
Spelsberg debuts its Greenline junction box
Spelsberg saidn quality and sustainability can go hand in hand with the new i 12- L GreenLine junction box, which is manufactured from at least 90% recycled plastic. The i 12-L GreenLine offers the same functionality as its conventional counterpart, but with a body and lid that are primarily manufactured from post-consumer recyclate (PCR). This use of recycled materials doesn’t just
reduce the amount of new plastic used in the production process; it also decreases the junction box’s carbon footprint. By using these recyclates, Spelsberg said it has reduced the amount of CO2 emissions associated with the junction box by 40%. Chris Lloyd, Spelsberg UK’s managing director,
said: “At Spelsberg, we are dedicated to not only advancing technological innovation but also ensuring that our products support sustainable practices. The i 12-L GreenLine junction box is a prime example of this commitment, demonstrating that environmental responsibility can operate hand-in-hand with superior performance.
“This product underscores our promise to
provide our customers with high-quality, reliable solutions that meet today’s environmental challenges without compromising functionality. We are proud to lead the way in sustainable manufacturing and set new standards for the electrical industry.”
