New manufacturing processes, digitized and more focused on e-commerce and logistics, have driven the growth of material handling applications such as automated storage systems and warehouse solutions, internal transport systems and packaging machines. One of the critical components at the heart of the machines in these applications is the sensor.

Telemecanique Sensors has been a specialist in industrial automation, sensors, sensing technology and safety engineering for over 90 years. With a comprehensive range of safety products, which meet the very strict international safety standards, Telemecanique Sensors offers the most comprehensive protection for personnel and equipment.

Working with machines involves risks. This relates to both the machine and the user of the machine. Safety is therefore an important factor for machine builders and industrial end users in every market segment. Telemecanique Sensors' XCSR non-contact RFID-encoded safety switches provide the highest level of safety protection in compact machines where personnel protection is required. Basic applications are for monitoring the position of movable safety switches to prevent dangerous situations when the safety guard is opened.

Electric motors are major consumers in industry when it comes to energy consumption. As much as 70% of the electricity produced goes to electrically driven systems. For heavy industries, this can be as much as 90%. Since 2009, the EU has been setting minimum energy efficiency requirements for new electric motors from 0.75 to 375 kW with the Ecodesign Directive 640/2009 in order to encourage manufacturers to bring more energy-efficient products to market.

The Harmony ST6 series of HMI displays is specially developed for simple machines where intuitive operation, stylish design and powerful visualizations are important in addition to the price-performance ratio. Besides the existing Basic HMI \(HMIST6\) and the Basic Web HMI \(HMISTW6\), the Harmony ST6 series has now been expanded with a third option, the STM6 Modular HMI \(HMISTM6\).

A safe work environment with the Harmony Illuminated emergency stop button An emergency stop button is a mechanism that can be used to stop a machine's operation in one action. Directives require the mandatory installation of an emergency stop button at least at each machine control station. Schneider Electric introduces a new range of illuminated emergency stop buttons that contribute to a safer working environment.
