Maximum mobility with the highest level of safety up to Cat. 4 / PL e or SIL 3 The new wireless safety system RE 6900 from the SAFEMASTER W series is the perfect solution if you want to work safely and reliably in hazardous areas during maintenance or machine setup - with maximum mobility. The wireless enabling switch enables safe operation and prevents the unintentional initiation of dangerous movements, as only an activated centre position of the three-stage switch gives the wireless enable for machine movement. Releasing or pressing the switch interrupts the movement and triggers a safetyrelated shutdown. Thanks to its ergonomic design, the wireless enabling switch f its perfectly in the hand and allows intuitive one-handed operation - with maximum safety up to Cat. 4 / PL e or SIL 3. The wireless enabling switch is primarily used in robotics for service and maintenance work, while the wireless emergency stop is particularly convincing in large-scale facilities, transport or logistics areas - anywhere where a quick response from a distance is required. With bidirectional wireless communication, motion and shock detection and user authentication via RFID the wireless safety system RE 6900 enables maximum safety and flexibility in everyday industrial use. - For safety applications up to Cat. 4 / PL e or SIL 3 - Maximum mobility with the highest level of safety - Ergonomic design for fatigue-free working

Simply plug functional modules as a whole into preconfigured circuit boards instead of time-consuming and error-prone wiring of individual wires: This is the basic concept behind the new ‘X-Dias’ I/O system, which SIGMATEK officially launched last year at the SPS trade fair as an addition to its proven ‘S-DIAS’ control portfolio. It was developed by the local automation expert at the suggestion of and in partnership with Emco-Test, a long-standing customer, also based in Salzburg. The globally successful manufacturer of high-quality hardness testing machines was looking for a solution that would, on the one hand, keep the packing density of the increasingly complex control system under control despite the continuously growing range of variants and functions and, on the other hand, make the connection technology faster and easier to install, future-proof and yet economical – all while maintaining a high degree of modularity and production volumes in the mid three-digit range. This seemingly impossible balancing act was achieved in the form of the jointly developed I/O innovation ‘X-DIAS’, which is now going into series production in Emco-Test's latest generation of hardness testing machines, the ‘Vision Line’. see technical report: Austromatisierung - issue 5+6/2025

ZetesMedea automates goods transport and product identification flexibly and seamlessly integrated into WMS or ERP systems. AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots) handle internal transport, while stationary or mobile stations automatically detect and verify goods and containers. Cartons or pallets loaded onto the AMR are inspected and identified by cameras in the ZetesMedea ImageID system (machine vision and AI) while in motion and compared with the data in the host system. Integrated scanning, RFID, and voice applications allow for the combination of suitable technologies – for efficient yet flexible logistics processes, depending on the use case. The Zetes solution includes robots and mobile devices from various manufacturers, as well as a complete package of integration, software, commissioning, and support. Our AMR solutions and ImageID stations offer high-quality design, first-class technology, and a secure, durable, and high-performance system – based on over 40 years of Zetes project experience.
