Foam producer Sekisui Alveo has a large factory in Roermond. To support production and maintenance, warehouses and distribution points with thousands of different items are spread across the various halls. Think spare parts, personal protection equipment and consumables. The company cooperates intensively with itsme for management, such as recently with the step-by-step introduction of vendor managed inventory (VMI) for the grab stock of mechanical items.

To control the expansion of a silo park, engineering & construction company IEC called on Breemes. Being involved in the engineering from the beginning, the electrical service provider was able to make smart proposals for both the low-voltage part and the PLC control. ‘We have always been able to find each other well and when changes occurred, we were quickly on the same page with Breemes.’

Heliox, a developer and manufacturer of charging systems for electric buses and trucks, was already working with itsme when production still took place in the Netherlands. Today, production has shifted to Slovakia, Portugal, and Moldova, and is also happening in the US. itsme remains the “irreplaceable” partner for the supply of electrical components and cable harnesses.

Blok System Supply and itsme have maintained an intensive relationship for many years. Early last year, this was further deepened with electronic data exchange via the Smart Connected Supplier Network. ‘It saves an enormous amount of time and reduces errors. We always have real-time information automatically.’ However, time for personal contact is not saved. ‘That is precisely what makes itsme a very nice party to work with.’

With the concept of ‘Defense in Depth,’ Siemens offers a layered security model that provides comprehensive and in-depth protection for industrial installations. This concept is based on the recommendations of IEC 62443, the world's leading standard for industrial cybersecurity.

The comprehensive Harmony signaling range from Schneider Electric includes a variety of beacons, tower lights, and multi-tone sounders. These signaling devices feature status indication, voice guidance, and configurable light and sound patterns to provide timely alerts for faults and abnormal conditions. They are known for easy installation, low maintenance, and high protection rating.

Eaton's P1-40 load break switches bridge the gap between the maximum rated value of the previous P1 (32 A) and the lowest rated value of the existing P3 (63 A). This allows for a higher rated current in the compact format of the P1. The new P1-40 line is the ideal solution for machine control, automation, production lines, emergency shutdowns and main switches.

Pilz's PSENopt and PSENopt II safety light curtains protect employees and production goods in a safe, efficient and economical manner. An invisible infrared protective field protects the danger zones and enables optimum access protection.
