Rockwell Automation reports that Custom Beverage Concepts (CBC), the industry leader on new beverage trends, has selected Plex Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions to gain real-time visibility and reporting while establishing a resilient foundation that can scale with growth and evolving production demands.

A top and bottom case gluer machine, designed and engineered by Endoline Automation, is assisting a global confectionery manufacturing facility in Australia to meet their sustainability targets. Simultaneously, this stronger, more durable packaging solution has doubled packing efficiency for the confectioner.

3D vision technology is transforming automation across industries, enabling more accurate detection, measurement, and interaction with real-world environments. But with several different technologies available, choosing the right solution can be challenging. The experts at OEM Automatic guide us through the options.

To simplify installation and reduce assembly time, OEM Automatic now offers a complete assembly service for custom safety edges. Each safety edge is manufactured to the customer's exact specification, providing a ready-to-install solution that eliminates the need for on-site cutting, bonding or wiring.

Testing aerospace fuel pumps requires highly controlled environments that replicate real-world operating conditions, while also meeting strict hazardous-area compliance requirements. Beckhoff helped Futura Systems develop a flexible test rig platform capable of supporting multiple pump variants within a single architecture.

Copper remains the preferred material for high-current distribution in switchgear and control panels, but what is best practice for bending and fabricating copper busbars correctly? The experts at Rittal explain how you can ensure accurate and repeatable production in modern panel building environments.

At InnoTrans 2026, Southco, will showcase its extensive portfolio of mechanical and electromechanical latches, locks, fasteners, hinges and positioning solutions - all designed to enhance safety, security, maintenance efficiency and passenger comfort across a wide range of rolling-stock applications.

Underestimating the level of variation in thread friction and surface conditions can undermine the effectiveness of the applied torque and resulting preload and, in extreme cases, lead to joint failure. The solution, say the experts at BUMAX is to always choose fasteners manufactured from premium stainless steel under high-quality production processes that have less surface roughness and variation in frictional behaviour.
