With sustainability now shaping equipment specifications, material selection, and operational decisions across packaging and processing, Pack Expo International 2026 will give manufacturers a one-stop destination to compare sustainable packaging technologies, learn from experts, and find solutions that support measurable environmental and business goals. The need is clear: more than 82 percent of end users say they are actively engaged in sustainability adoption, according to “2026 The Ripple Effect: CPG Sustainability and the New OEM Spec Sheet,” a new report from PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies.
The 55th Turbomachinery & 42nd Pump Symposia (TPS) concluded in Houston, TX recently. Its wide reach and exceptional program further solidified TPS as a premier event in the rotating equipment industry, fostering meaningful exchanges among professionals and businesses alike in industries such as turbomachinery, pumps, oil & gas, petrochemical, power, aerospace, chemical and water/wastewater.
Customization may not always be top of mind when machine designers are selecting motion control vendors. The hope is usually that they will find exactly what they need in the catalog and avoid what they believe to be the higher costs, delays and risks associated with custom solutions. But, given that more than 25 percent of motion system projects end up requiring at least some degree of customization, it could be beneficial to prepare for that eventuality from the outset.
Tim Dickson, chief digital and information officer, Regal Rexnord, explores how businesses can turn AI from just another tool to a truly transformative part of their operations.
Nidec and Wenzel’s joint open house took place in June and featured two days of machine demonstrations, production workflow advantages and the latest and greatest in machine tool and inspection technology.
Schneider Electric has revealed the Europe findings of its Global Autonomous Maturity Report which draws on 400 senior energy and chemical industry leaders across 12 countries and four regions. The findings expose a timely crossroads at the heart of Europe’s climate strategy: the region most convinced that autonomous operations are indispensable to net zero is the region furthest from deploying them at scale. For the hard-to-abate industries that account for around 40 percent of global emissions, this gap is real and measured in megatons. It is also a competitiveness gap. As the global race to decarbonize industry accelerates, Europe’s must take this opportunity to adopt adoption of AI-powered autonomous operations risks ceding industrial leadership at the very moment that sustainable industry and competitive industry have become one and the same.
In this project, a practical measurement comparison of conventional tactile and optical systems was done. The goal was to investigate if and how good the measurement results of classic characteristics and waviness characteristics of the different physical measurement principles are comparable. In addition, it was determined whether the use of optical fringe projection measurement systems is suitable for gear metrology.
Across sectors, the same operational truth is becoming harder to ignore: downtime has a direct impact on revenue. It ripples into supply chains, disrupts mission readiness, compromises service levels and, in some environments, creates genuine safety risk.
In high-demand industrial environments like plastic recycling and extrusion, system efficiency, thermal management, and drive reliability are critical to operational success. FAE SRL, specialists in electrical panel design for OEMs in the plastics sector across Italy and Switzerland, needed a drive solution that could meet the rigorous demands of continuous operation, high power density, and seamless integration with modern control architectures.
Siemens recently announced the winners of its third annual Techcellence Awards, at Realize LIVE Americas 2026 in Detroit. Now in its third year, Siemens’ Techcellence Awards brings recognition to companies and individuals that are empowering change through digital transformation and sustainability, as well as individuals who are acting as a champion for digital technology and sharing their knowledge with the Siemens community.
Robotiq has introduced IQ, an AI-enabled platform designed to make robotic Workcell integration faster, more predictable, and easier to scale.
ONYX Insight launched Ecoblade, a new condition monitoring system (CMS) providing continuous visibility and analysis of blade behavior and health, unlocking millions in savings for wind farm owners and operators worldwide in April.
Gear inspection and noise analysis are essential for ensuring quality and efficiency in modern gear manufacturing. Increasingly stringent requirements on dimensional tolerances—often in the micron range—and noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) performance necessitate advanced measurement and evaluation methods.
An excerpt from Gear Technology Solutions by Dr. Hermann J. Stadtfeld exploring the mathematics behind conjugate bevel and hypoid gears—from the fundamental laws of gearing and the conditions for perfect conjugacy to why real-world power transmissions require deliberate crowning rather than theoretically exact conjugate designs.
