The shift toward software-centered systems is transforming industrial automation, reducing hardware complexity and enhancing adaptability. This presentation explores digitalization strategy, focusing on the electrification of hydraulic components, which replaces mechanical complexity with sensor-driven intelligence. By digitalizing hydraulic controls in pumps and motors, component variation is minimized while maintaining high performance. Additionally, IoT integration enables real-time environmental adaptation, automatically adjusting software settings for optimized efficiency. We will discuss the impact of these advances on system flexibility, cost reduction and performance improvements. Attendees will gain insights into the future of smart, connected hydraulic systems and their role in modern industry.
