New Machinery Regulation 2023/1230: an update ahead of its entry into force
(EN) The Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, published in the Official Journal on 29 June 2023, is set to mark a turning point in the European regulatory landscape for industrial automation, becoming the new benchmark for machinery safety. As full application approaches in 2027, the industry is preparing to adapt to clearer rules, better suited to today’s manufacturing environment and capable of governing emerging technologies such as connected systems and artificial intelligence.
Machine Vision: how the world of robotics is evolving
(EN) Robots today are no longer limited to following predefined instructions. Thanks to machine vision, they can interpret their surroundings and react accordingly. From warehouses to production lines, this technology is becoming a decisive driver of modern robotics, making processes faster, more accurate, and far more adaptable.
Robotics as a Service (RaaS): how it works and how it integrates in the industrial sector
(EN) In a smart factory, increasing productivity and minimizing machine downtime is a tangible necessity. Robotics As A Service (RaaS) gives companies the ability to access robots and automated systems as a service, without the need for significant investments in machines and software.
What is a Manufacturing Execution System (MES)
(EN) In the evolution toward Industry 5.0, companies are aiming to make production smarter, more flexible, and more sustainable. The Manufacturing Execution System is a key tool in this process. By connecting production planning with actual factory operations, it allows real-time monitoring of every stage of the process, improves efficiency, and ensures product quality.

(EN) ESA Automation & Robotics will be participating in SPS Nuremberg 2025, the leading event for industrial automation in Europe. The fair, taking place from November 25 to 27, 2025, at the Nuremberg Exhibition Center, serves as a unique meeting point for manufacturers, system integrators, and industry professionals.
Die Rolle digitaler Zwillinge in der Cybersicherheit
In der industriellen Automatisierung hat Cybersicherheit eine strategische Priorität erlangt. Die zunehmende Vernetzung von IT- und OT-Systemen, Sensoren, intelligenten Maschinen und Steuerungsinfrastrukturen setzt Produktionsanlagen einem immer breiteren Spektrum digitaler Bedrohungen aus. Vor diesem Hintergrund erweist sich der Einsatz digitaler Zwillinge in der Cybersicherheit als eine der vielversprechendsten Innovationen zur Vorhersage, Eindämmung und effektiven Reaktion auf Cyberangriffe.
Die am häufigsten verwendeten Programmiersprachen in der industriellen Automatisierung
Jede Industrieanlage funktioniert dank präziser Logik. Programmiersprachen übersetzen komplexe Abläufe in maschinenverständliche Anweisungen. Einige dieser Sprachen haben sich dank ihrer intuitiven Bedienung und Anpassungsfähigkeit zu Industriestandards entwickelt. Ihr Einsatz ermöglicht schnelles Eingreifen, reduziert Ausfallzeiten und gewährleistet einen sicheren und effizienten Anlagenbetrieb.
