In this blog article, you will learn why UPS systems are indispensable for ensuring a reliable and stable power supply in critical infrastructures, which components are needed for this, and which standards they must meet.

We see a global shift towards a data-driven economy developing at unprecedented speed which heavily affects the future role of data in the manufacturing industry. Therefore smart manufacturing is becoming increasingly important, data-driven insights are crucial for optimizing system performance and ensuring operational efficiency. The power supply is placed at a central nodal point in every system and records a significant amount of real-time information that is of particular interest to the operating company as well as the system manufacturer. A growing line-up of PULS power supplies give you access to this information via IO-Link or EtherCAT. In this blog article you will learn how you can profit from those solutions now and in the future.

The shift from pneumatic to electric drives is a well-known development in the industry. However, in recent years, this topic has gained significant momentum. This is due to the continuously increasing cost pressure and the ever-stricter requirements for CO2 reductions. In both areas, the advantages of electric solutions prevail. This blog article illustrates, using the example of OEMs in the automotive industry, how smart industrial power supplies support the transition from pneumatic to electric drives.

Developing innovations also requires an appropriate analogue workspace concept. The work environment must give employees the option to work together in interdisciplinary teams, work visually, test ideas, observe intensive phases of concentration, create prototypes, and much more. This results in future-proof, user-oriented solutions. In short: an innovative work environment must offer genuine space for Design Thinking.
