On October 11, 2021, Dunkermotoren announces the market launch of the new IIoT brand "nexofox". Under nexofox, Dunkermotoren will offer its customers a holistic solution portfolio covering all aspects of the use and connectivity of its smart motors.

The Dunkermotoren team has been working on intelligent drive solutions for many years. Even before the boom around Industrial Internet of Things and Industry 4.0, Dunkermotoren provided forward-looking software solutions such as the control functionality integrated in the motor or even condition monitoring.

In an interview - Managing Director Uwe Lorenz and Markus Weishaar, Head of IIoT & Services at Dunkermotoren.

Mr. Lorenz, Dunkermotoren announced great news on October 11, 2021 and introduced its new brand nexofox. What does this mean for Dunkermotoren?

For Dunkermotoren, this is the first presence trade fair in Europe in which the drive technology manufacturer will participate in 2021. In hall 1 at booth A32, Dunkermotoren will exhibit for the first time together with its subsidiary EGS Automation and its sister company MAE.

Stepper motors are currently experiencing a true renaissance. Many still think of Far East products that are more noticeable for their typical noise than for their performance. Yet sophisticated stepper motor controllers nowadays not only compensate for the supposed weaknesses.

There is now no way around real-time capable machine communication via industrial Ethernet. Dunkermotoren recognized this early on and expanded its BG series to include the PROFINET and EtherCAT interfaces. This year, Ethernet/IP will be added as a third interface in order to integrate the motors even more flexibly into different bus environments.

On October 07, Dunkermotorens webinars will start into the second round. The webinar series "Experience Dunkermotorens Drives" will be kicked off by Michael Basler, Key Account Manager Industrial Automation on the topic of "Drive Solutions for Mobile Intralogistics Solutions".

In the past, the growth curve in the intralogistics sector knew only one direction. Year after year increasing growth rates could be communicated. This is not likely to change in the foreseeable future. The extent to which the Covid-19 crisis will give this trend a further boost cannot yet be estimated. It will definitely influence the market and possibly create new sales markets.
