Think inside the CAVE to reimagine what’s possible outside of it. I had the incredible opportunity to step inside the CAVE (Cave Automatic Virtual Environment) at MADE - Competence Center Industry 4.0 in Milan, Italy and it was nothing short of amazing. Imagine walking into a room and being transported into a fully immersive virtual world where you can interact with 3D prototypes, simulate designs, and train for complex scenarios, all without the need for a physical prototype. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐀𝐕𝐄? The CAVE combines advanced tracking systems, stereoscopic projectors, and lightweight 3D glasses to create an experience that’s as close to reality as you can get. It’s powered by high-performance workstations and tools like MOTIVE for real-time tracking and UNITY for creating interactive simulations. This technology is a game-changer for manufacturers, offering applications in design validation, digital twins, training, and maintenance simulation. By reducing costs, saving time, and enhancing collaboration, the CAVE is helping businesses, especially SMEs, accelerate their digital transformation. What would you explore or create in the CAVE?

It's Interesting to see how major industrial automation companies are driving manufacturing forward. Each brings unique strengths to the table, but all share a common vision for the future of production - flexibility, digitalization, and smarter ecosystems. Siemens - uses its Digital Twin and TIA Portal to simulate and optimize production, reducing commissioning time and engineering costs significantly. Rockwell Automation - merges IT and OT with its Connected Enterprise, creating seamless data flow from plant floor to enterprise with #FactoryTalk. ABB’s - ABB Ability™ offers modular apps for asset management, energy efficiency, and process optimization across diverse industries. Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure Automation Expert, based on IEC 61499, enables hardware-agnostic, flexible, and faster engineering solutions. Bosch Rexroth’s - #ctrlX AUTOMATION provides an open, modular ecosystem with app-based functionality, offering flexibility like a “smartphone of automation.” Lenze - FAST delivers pre-engineered modules to cut engineering time, helping machine builders achieve faster market readiness. Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. - e-F@ctory uses edge computing to enable predictive maintenance, energy management, and real-time data analysis. Beckhoff Automation - leads with PC-based control and TwinCAT, combining open connectivity with scalable, high-speed EtherCAT fieldbus. Emerson’s - Boundless Automation breaks silos by connecting field to cloud, giving industries a holistic view of operations. Omron Automation - integrates logic, motion, and robotics via Sysmac, enhancing human-machine collaboration with safety-focused automation. The common goal across all these companies is to create a more automated, efficient, and integrated manufacturing environment. They achieve this by offering unique solutions, such as software-defined automation, digital twins, and open, app-based platforms. These distinct strategies all converge on a shared vision of a highly productive and connected industrial future. #smartmanufacturing #ai #software

Yokogawa was founded in 1915 on three core principles: Quality First, Pioneering Spirit, and Contribution to Society. More than a century later, these values continue to guide every aspect of our operations. Our products are manufactured across the globe, and every item we deliver is built with these principles at its foundation. Years of research and development go into each design to ensure long-term reliability and performance throughout its service life. Unfortunately, we occasionally receive reports of instruments that fail prematurely and are later discovered to be counterfeit. Unauthorized sellers, operating outside Yokogawa’s official sales channels, have been distributing imitation products—such as transmitters—falsely labeled as genuine Yokogawa. These counterfeit items, produced by unknown parties, do not meet our rigorous quality standards and may pose serious risks to plant operations, maintenance, security, and safety. In the photo on this post we have a side-by-side comparison of a genuine Yokogawa EJX transmitter and a counterfeit version. ✅Genuine EJX (top-half): The label is clean, sharp, and laser-printed with a glossy finish. ❌Counterfeit (lower-half): The label looks dull and poorly printed, often missing key information and not applied correctly. These simple differences make it easier to spot a fake at a glance. To safeguard your operations, we strongly recommend purchasing Yokogawa products only through authorized sales channels. If you are ever uncertain about a supplier’s legitimacy, please verify with your nearest Yokogawa sales office before making a purchase. A full list of sales offices and contact details is available here: https://lnkd.in/gCwZ6REc When you choose Yokogawa, you are investing in a product designed for reliability, built with uncompromising quality, and intended to deliver many years of dependable service. Don’t take the risk of buying outside our official sales network.
