The first fully integrated vision system combines two cutting-edge technologies: the HALCON machine vision library from MVTec and advanced control technology from B&R. This opens up new possibilities in industrial image processing.

B&R will be presenting a complete machine vision portfolio at the SPS IPC Drives fair. All of the products are seamlessly integrated in the B&R control system.

The openSAFETY safety bus protocol can now be transmitted via UDP using the black channel principle. This facilitates the use of wireless transmission technologies for safety communication.

B&R has added to its portfolio the X20SM1436-1 module for direct control of stepper motors. The module's current reduction function increases performance and reduces energy consumption.

The mapp Report software component can be used to automatically generate PDF reports based on any machine data. The content and layout of the reports can be customized.

At WindEnergy Hamburg in Hall B6, Booth 242, B&R will show how its intelligent drive solutions can help wind turbines work more efficiently, quietly and safely.

B&R has introduced Smart Display Link 4, the newest generation of its proven technology for digital display data transmission.

B&R has joined the OPC UA TSN testbed of Chinese network equipment vendor Huawei. The Austrian automation specialist is now participating in all three of the world's most significant platforms for practical testing of the new communication…

A single device to acquire data, evaluate it and send it to the cloud – that's now possible with B&R's Edge Controller. Simultaneously, the powerful and rugged PC also serves as a full-fledged industrial controller.

B&R combines the flexibility of the intelligent ACOPOStrak track system with the low cost of a conventional conveyor system – the perfect recipe for more cost-effective mass customization.
