Beckhoff Automation UK Ltd

We had the pleasure of speaking with SHL Medical, a leader in the medical and pharma industries, about their use of Beckhoff technology in automation. SHL Medical specialises in creating injector pens, and their automation department builds, tests, and assembles the equipment required for pen assembly. In the conversation, SHL shared how they utilize Beckhoff’s XTS technology to streamline the assembly of these complex devices. Starting just four years ago, with little knowledge of Beckhoff, their engineering team in Taiwan has now successfully implemented four complete assembly lines. The company's satisfaction with Beckhoff’s solutions and the local support from our team in Taiwan highlights the value of collaboration in driving automation forward. Beckhoff's flexible and scalable solutions have helped SHL Medical optimise production efficiency, and we are thrilled to continue supporting their future endeavours.

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is connecting devices and machines across the factory floor, however this connectivity also expands the attack surface for cyber threats, warns Stephen Hayes, MD of Beckhoff UK. IIoT technologies allow for real-time communication between machines, enabling advanced data analytics, predictive maintenance and optimised production workflows. Yet, each connected device is a potential entry point for cyber threats, making cybersecurity more complex. To safeguard your connected factory, focus on creating a robust network architecture. Effective strategies include network segmentation, which limits malware spread and unauthorised access.

Why a high-tech bike isn’t the key to speed — it’s tyre pressure! Investing in a high-end bike is tempting, but did you know the wrong tyre pressure can slow you down more than riding a budget bike? 🚴♂️ In tests conducted at Silverstone’s state-of-the-art Sports Engineering Hub, experts showed that correct pressure settings can drastically impact rolling resistance. Reducing pressure by just 1 bar on rough surfaces results in smoother rides, lower energy use, and faster speeds. This means a well-calibrated setup can help you outperform even the most expensive bikes!
