For a stereotype free career choice

This year's Girls' Day, in which STW traditionally participates, took place on April 28. On Girls' Day, interested school students can find out about careers, training and study opportunities in research, information technology, technology and science. At the electronics manufacturer STW, the focus was primarily on electronics and production related training. For example, the participants learned about the apprenticeship paths for electronics technicians for devices & systems, micro or production technologists and information technology specialists.

Hoping for a swift and peaceful resolution

At STW, we strongly believe in a democratic and peaceful coexistence. For many years, war has been unthinkable in Europe. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case.

As we watch the dreadful events that are unfolding in Ukraine, our thoughts are with the people directly affected by this war. Nothing can justify such an attack and the misery that it brings.

For the sake of all the people suffering because of this conflict, we hope that Russia will stop its attack, and that a peaceful and diplomatic solution will be found as soon as possible.

 

Developing ROVO AI

We are always working to help shape the latest trends in the world of mobile machinery. STW therefore participates in leading innovation projects such as the ROVO AI project. STW, HAWE, Robot Makers and Mattro are building this working machine based on the Mattro ROVO 3 as an application-neutral and emission-free technology demonstrator. The advantages of this approach for machine manufacturers and operators can be read in the detailed article in the German trade magazine O+P Fluidtechnik.

NEW INCLINATION SENSOR SMX.IGS-E

The inclination sensor SMX.igs-e is the first product of a completely newly developed generation of inclination and gyro sensors by STW, which is based on the use of MEMS sensor technology. This family is part of a new, future-oriented software and hardware platform. In addition, the STW software Toolchain openSYDE is supported, which allows easy integration of the SMX.igs-e into an existing application and which is used during the initial operation of sensors.

“MACHINE AUTOMATION LAB” – STW AND FRAUNHOFER IVI SET SEAL ON COOPERATION

A fundamental basis for autonomously working machines is already being created today with innovative technologies. STW has won an important research partner with the Fraunhofer Institute for Transportation and Infrastructure Systems IVI in Dresden for the collaborative R&D project “Machine Automation Lab“. On 11 July 2019, an event was held to celebrate the cooperation, at which the research group’s logo was presented to the public in a symbolic unveiling ceremony.

DIGITAL MAINTENANCE CONCEPTS

Mobile machines are investment goods used by many different parties: Manufacturers and owners, hire companies and operators, project managers and insurers. All of these have a common interest: to use the machines as efficiently as possible. One aspect of many for efficient use, albeit an extremely important and fundamental one, is to achieve as continuous and fault-free an operation as possible, because every standstill is associated with frequently enormous costs. However, without maintenance, faults and therefore machine breakdowns are certain to occur.

BCX - INTELLIGENT SWITCHING, MONITORING AND CONTROL OF POWER

With the BCX family, Sensor-Technik Wiedemann (STW) is presenting a new generation of on-board control units for mobile machines which combine the distribution of energy in the cabin with monitoring and control functions. The BCX family unites the advantages of the tried and tested ESX control units and flexible power distribution in one device. Through the separation of active and passive electronics, customer-specific versions can also be implemented inexpensively and rapidly.

AN EXTENSION TO THE ESX-FAMILY

An extension to the ESX family of mobile central control units: The new small control unit ESX-3CS

Sensor-Technik Wiedemann (STW) is to present a new member of its ESX family of mobile central control units at the Agritechnica 2017 in Hanover. Freely programmable, compatible with regard to input and output types to other members of the ESX family, and supported through the comprehensive STW toolchain, the ESX-3CS rounds off the third generation of successful ESX control units at entry level. With the introduction of the ESX-3CS, STW is also showing a new housing concept.

SENSOR-TECHNIK WIEDEMANN BUNDLES COMPETENCIES

"What belongs together, grows together " – not so much politically, perhaps, but all the more effectively do the three subject fields which have long characterized the electronics industry complement each other: Measurement technology, microsystem technology and sensors. Sensor-Technik Wiedemann GmbH (STW), part of the bedrock of this branch in Germany, has been processing these topics for thirty years, and is now merging them into one business field.
