Remote gripper control – Practicable alternative to cabled switching devices
Wireless switches and sensors have many benefits in the field of robotics, especially in conjunction with rapidly repeating three-dimensional movements. They are versatile and not subject to wear and tear. As a practicable alternative to cabled switching devices, the steute portfolio includes a tried-and-tested wireless system.

Wireless Ex sensors for valve position monitoring – Building the hydrogen infrastructure
Wireless solutions have many advantages – also and including for valve position monitoring within the hydrogen infrastructure. Valve manufacturers can choose between electromechanical position switches and non-contact sensors in Ex variants, which communicate via an industry-compatible point-to-point radio connection.

Track stock levels in assembly and logistics processes
With a wireless-based automated material requisition system, material flow becomes transparent, even for parts which are not inventory-managed. The nexy system from steute is ideal for this purpose. At the LogiMAT, the manufacturer will be showing how the latest nexy version can also perform other tasks.

Down to the last metre – Material requisition in a wireless network
How can automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems be integrated in a digital visualisation of material flow – even with parts which are not inventory-managed and even with AGV from different manufacturers? The answer is a wireless automated material requisition system.

Why it makes sense to integrate devices via SDC
Internet of Medical Things | In the future, medical devices in the OR or ICU could communicate and exchange measurements with each other, and also forward data to the hospital information system (HIS). Practicians are in favour. First devices are already entering the marketplace with this option – and service providers can help by equipping other devices in the same way.

Monitoring material flow in real time
A wireless-based system facilitates uninterrupted automated material requisition and can also integrate mobile transportation, such as AGV and dollies. This option is favoured by e.g. the automotive industry or manufacturers of household devices. Pre-configured applications simplify integration in existing IT infrastructures, and both new (wireless) sensors and new functions are currently available – including an "on premise" solution for the first time.

The user interface as a "mechatronic integrated device" (MID) - Transfer project for monitoring damp inside medical device controls
As part of a transfer project of the "it´s OWL" cluster of excellence, steute is investigating the integration of sensors in medical device control enclosures. More specifically, sensors for monitoring any penetration of damp. Two innovative manufacturing techniques are being combined in this investigation: laser direct structuring (LDS) and additive manufacturing (AM). The results are very promising – and will turn the user interface into a "mechatronic integrated device" (MID).

Select the right valve position monitoring system - Switches and sensors for complex applications
Valve manufacturers have a wide choice when searching for suitable switching equipment to monitor valve positions. Different types of electromechanical switches and non-contact sensors are available, with series suited to explosive zones, corrosive environments and subzero applications. In many cases it can be beneficial to opt for wireless switches, including in Ex zones.

Automated material requisition in a wireless network - Remote data transfer for needs-based material flow
A "specialist" among wireless systems controls material flow in industrial assembly areas, leading to considerable efficiency and cost benefits for users. The wireless-based nexy system from steute can be integrated seamlessly in the company IT (ERP, MES) and, as a platform strategy, used not only as a communication channel for an automated material requisition system, but also for other tasks.

Multifunctional signal exchange - Wireless network improves material supplies in assembly halls
Information flow before material flow: this is an old principle established for e.g. ERP and warehouse management systems. Practice has shown, however, that even with this principle there can still be gaps in the material supply – especially in the manufacture of variants. A wireless-based requisition system can help in such cases, and can also assume additional tasks.

steute expands material requisition system - Assembly stock tracked to the last small part
With wireless-based material requisition systems, operators can maintain an overview of all articles within their production, even those which are not inventory-managed. At the LogiMAT, steute is showing the latest generation of its nexy system.
