Satellites sense heat developments from outer space. Sensors sniff fire gases, and drones search for hot spots. Scientists around the globe are working on a better digital infrastructure against forest fires.

Welcome to the hotel of the future where the concierge wears sensors and cameras instead of a suit. Tourism is currently seeing a technological transformation. “tomorrow” names examples around the globe.

Smart condition monitoring of machines and equipment can be important in situations where failures would have serious consequences. An impending bearing failure was detected early, preventing the failure of a venting system in an operating room.

Schaeffler technology helps point out potential trouble at an early stage and avoid high consequential costs. Here’s a case in point from the field.

In increasingly resource-conscious industrial settings a lot revolves around energy efficiency in factory halls as well. How can significant potential savings be achieved? The motion technology company Schaeffler has come up with an idea.

ICARUS connects animals with the internet. With this technology, we gain vital insights from the swarm intelligence of nature.

The premier strategy to prevent machine failure is an intelligent early warning system: condition monitoring. Companies monitor machines from in-house control centers but also deploy their detectives to customer locations for on-site analyses.

In the future, autonomous vehicles are planned to play an important role also on water. In an interview, shipbuilding expert Dr. Christian Masilge explains what benefits this technology offers.

In the quest for traces of our ancestors, archeologists dig up Earth’s past – and increasingly avail themselves of pioneering technologies in the process.

Researchers from Fraunhofer have now presented an autonomous weeding robot requiring neither sprays nor costly high-tech sensors including complex algorithms.

Billions of letters and parcels are sent every year. To do this, the deliverers rely on state-of-the-art machines and digital technologies. A look into the gears of global logistics chains.

Less energy consumption, longer range – how Schaeffler enhances the efficiency of e-cars with smart thermal management.

Automaton, machine, robot, humanoid, android, cobot – no matter what names the artificial entertainers have been given, the foundations of this success story were laid as far back as 3,000 years ago.

Digital transformation in the healthcare sector is in full swing and receiving a boost due to the corona pandemic. Here are a few examples.

The 2016 Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded for the fundamentals of building complex nanomachines. Following the early eighties, this new field of research has since seen rapid development.
