The path to the Digital Twin
A quick click – and the customer can download the CAD model of Balluff sensors. Balluff has been providing free 2D and 3D models (CAD) of its own products since 2006. “That was the first step on the way to the Digital Twin,” recalls Florian Kröner.
From the first day to the last
Melody Han has been working at Balluff Automation, Balluff’s Chinese sales subsidiary in Shanghai, for 14 years. She began her career there in 2007 – fresh from Shanghai University, where she had completed a bachelor’s degree with a focus on human resources management. She remembers exactly how she felt on that first day in her first job: a little nervous, but above all happy.
Unleashing industrial communication
Balluff’s own ambition to develop new solutions for industrial automation was a great incentive for Alexander Weber’s team to make IO-Link wireless a reality. Balluff’s domain is to capture data, transport it and create valuable information from it.
Big, bigger, giga
The mobility revolution is in full swing and with it the development of electromobility, which is often described as the key to this transformation. In 2020 alone, 3.2 million new electric cars were registered worldwide. This is an increase of more than 37 percent compared to the previous year. The issue is also being driven forward politically.
A stand against violence
At Balluff, social commitment is deeply rooted in the company. Balluff Automation Slr. in Turin, for example, has been supporting the “Fondazione Libellula”, an Italian foundation that campaigns nationwide against violence against women and gender-specific discrimination, since 2019.
A strong tailwind
Why are today’s wind turbines so much more efficient? In addition to the changed size of the turbines, optimized power control also plays an important role in the increase in performance. Even in low wind conditions, the blades of modern wind turbines still turn. If the wind speeds fluctuate strongly, the modern control system ensures the generator is utilized as evenly as possible.
