Does your machine speak IO-Link and know the Y-Path? If not, let us talk about next week at the Sajam Tehnike Fair in Belgrade, #Serbia . IO-Link is a worldwide open standard protocol that is used for communication between devices in industrial settings. It facilitates bidirectional data exchange between a master device, actuators, and sensors. This digital communication network provides raw sensor values for more accurate data from your machines. It also eliminates the need to scale analog signals. What if your sensors could talk directly to your SCADA, MES, ERP, CMMS systems without the PLC intervention and still send the information to the PLC for machine control? This is now possible with the Y-path from ifm Our IO-Link masters come with a separate IIoT port with a dedicated IP address for the IT infrastructure. This works in any number of industrial applications without affecting the machine control side of the system. This unique approach allows you to send information and data directly to where it is needed. ifm offers one of the largest selections of edgeGateways, controllers, IO-Link masters, sensors and other IO-Link-compatible devices. These allow users to install flexible controls systems for their manufacturing operations. The edgeGateways from ifm provide secure remote connection to your IT infrastructure for convenient data transfer to cloud platforms, such as ifm moneo Cloud, Microsoft Azure IoT Hub, or AWS IoT Core. ifm's HMI controllers are programmable graphic displays for controlling, parameterizing, and operating industrial machinery. One HMI controller can replace a PLC, HMI, and multiple software licenses. IO-Link field devices can be connected mechanically, versus labor-intensive wiring harnesses. IO-Link masters provide solutions to acquire intelligent sensor data from IO-Link enabled sensors and actuators. The IO-Link master establishes the connection between one or several devices and the fieldbus system or higher level IIoT platforms. #automation #IIoT #controller #sensors #iolink #fieldbus #software #PLC #manufacturing #cloud #automotive #robotics #foodindustry #foodsafety

AI didn't replace testers. It split them into two camps. Camp A is still arguing whether to "trust" AI in their pipeline. Still reading the same hot takes. Still waiting for someone like a tool vendor, a manager, or a thought leader to tell them what to think. Camp B already has opinions. They've tried the tools. Broken the tools. Written prompts that catch defects nobody else can. They're shaping how their teams use AI and not reacting to it. The gap between the two isn't talent. It's proximity. Camp B is sitting in rooms with other Camp B testers. Trading value. Comparing what worked. Calling out the AI-hype that doesn't survive contact with a real release. Ministry of Testing just opened one of those rooms. It's called the AI Chapter inside the MoTaverse. 197 testers already in. A Slack where the conversations are six months ahead of whatever's trending on LinkedIn. It's where the testers who refuse to be left behind compare notes in public, in real-time, with each other. And here's the part most people will scroll past: It's free. The only cost is being the kind of tester who shows up to learn AI. 👉 Join the AI Chapter: https://lnkd.in/dSktzVTV Rahul Parwal #SoftwareTesting #QualityEngineering #AIinTesting #MinistryOfTesting

ifm and its Trade Partner INGNS-INŽENJERING are looking forward to welcome you next week (May19 - 22) to visit us at the Sajam Tehnike 2026

As AI infrastructure scales, some of the industry’s biggest challenges are increasingly converging around one issue: Power. Looking forward to attending Data Centre Live London 2026 next week and hearing industry perspectives around: - AI infrastructure scaling - energisation and grid constraints - high-density GPU deployments - liquid cooling integration - retrofit strategy - and the convergence between power, cooling, networking and compute infrastructure. The pace of change across AI-ready infrastructure is creating some very interesting strategic and operational challenges across the industry. If you’re attending and working in these areas, happy to connect during the event.

I’m always happy to see my posts go viral — not because of the numbers alone, but because it means the information is reaching people who care. With more than 63k impressions in just one week with my video about ifm Memory Plug E30398 will now more of ifm customer worldwide save time with programming the sensors basically like Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V on a computer. Thank you everyone for the support and engagement! 🙌

Happy to be back for a second time at #ifatmunich Other than introducing smart sensors and innovative connectivity solutions to customer, a lot of time was spent with global colleagues from Germany, UK, South Africa, Brazil and Belgium Absolutely worth the while! Timmy Reiber & Gerold Dieckmann , great selection of demos and sales narrative at the booth from sensor to insights Michal Soroka , thanks for the sales coaching and the jokes Benoit Pallier , I finally got to meet the person who puts his thoughts process into ppt slides Rylance Sukdao , honor to meet you after the teams call on condition monitoring solutions Oswaldo Lopes , thanks for sharing on the hydropower industry Linda Stein , always been lucky to have your support in anything from market research to presentation Benoit Anssems , looking forward to the future of global water industry under your leadership

Aristotle taught principles every great tester uses today: • Observe before concluding • Question assumptions • Study systems, not symptoms • Separate opinion from evidence • Seek truth, not validation Good testing is not about clicking buttons. It is disciplined thinking. The best testers still win the old-fashioned way by thinking better than everyone else. Check out Aristotle in Testing by Pradeep Soundararajan ; it’s a good one.

Sea Japan: ifm exhibiting its latest innovations for the ship industry. Last day of the show. It really was the place to be for all ship equipment manufacturers and suppliers like #ifm . Its was a successful 3 days of shows, with many take-aways regarding market trends: use of alternative combustibles with hybrid drives and fuel cells to limit CO2, exhaust gas pollution reduction, more and more automation on deck equipments… It was also a good time for interactions with our customers and prospects, thank you all for visiting us on hall4 B-13. Ifm provides solutions for: ✅ SCR dosing systems (Selective Catalyst Reduction) with pressure, flow and compressed air sensors ✅On-line condition monitoring of drives and gearboxes for propeller shafts with vibration sensors and #moneo for data collection & root-cause analysis for unplanned stops prevention ✅Automated mooring systems with radars and highly robust control systems #ecomatMobile ✅ Level, pressure and temperature sensors to monitor the fuel cell propulsion engines For more info on our products with #DNV approval, have a look on our web site https://lnkd.in/e25ZaaUf And many more. You still have a chance to see all these innovations on our booth at SMM Hamburg in September, we are waiting for you 🙏
