OPC UA over TSN will be the unified communication standard of the Industrial IoT. Standardization and ongoing development of OPC UA at the field level will take place under the umbrella of the OPC Foundation.

B&R’s integrated vision system features innovative lighting components. The flexible light bars and backlights ensure optimum results even in difficult lighting situations.

B&R's entry into the machine vision market is led by a smart sensor and a smart camera. Since the hardware is fully integrated in the automation system, the cameras can be synchronized to machine functions with microsecond precision.

The intelligent ACOPOStrak transport system and B&R's human-track collaboration open up new dimensions in safe productivity at collaborative workstations.

The software mapp Trak facilitates the engineering of intelligent transport systems. It is based on process-oriented programming and features integrated simulation.

The Asset Performance Monitor cloud application gives OEMs a constant overview of their machines' status. This makes it easy to identify potential machine improvements and optimize service operations.

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.
