At the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG) World Congress 2026 in Vienna, more than 450 participants came together to exchange knowledge and discuss the future of hygienic design, food safety and hygienic production. 🍴

For , the congress provided an important opportunity to exchange with the EHEDG community and share our perspective on how ´ , and can contribute to Food Safety, Food Quality and Cost Efficiency.

In his presentation, “From Connected Assets to Business Outcomes,” Mohamed Al Kadari, Vice President Global Technology Sales, explored how data from connected assets can be turned into useful information, support better decisions and ultimately contribute to better business outcomes supports the KPI in the food industry. ✅

Our cooperation with EHEDG goes beyond product certification. Today, ifm teams in the Netherlands, Poland, Japan, India, Australia and Türkiye are working with EHEDG in different ways to bring design knowledge closer to local markets, with activities also extending to the United States and Eastern Europe. 🥤

With more than 25,000 food industry customers worldwide, we see the value of connecting hygienic design, automation and industrial data with practical customer needs. Together with EHEDG and partners across the industry, we want to contribute to safer, more reliable and more efficient food production. 🟠

Thank you to EHEDG and everyone who contributed to the discussions in .

Smart mobility on water 🚢

At ifm, we're proud to power Cstrider’s groundbreaking “Virtual Bridge” concept – a scalable, climate-friendly solution for urban waterway transportation. Where canals interrupt pedestrian and cyclist routes, energy-efficient vessels now ensure seamless crossings.

🔧 Our technology enables:

🔸Intelligent vessel control and onboard displays
🔸Real-time data acquisition and condition monitoring
🔸Cloud-based connectivity for remote updates and performance analytics
🔸By supporting vessel electrification and reducing emissions, we’re helping cities become more connected, sustainable, and future-ready.

Mobile machines operate under demanding conditions. Their automation technology must withstand vibration, shock, and extreme temperatures while also being protected against digital threats. 🛡️

At ifm, robustness goes beyond the physical resilience of our products. As machines become increasingly connected, and protection against data manipulation and unauthorized access must also be taken into account.

In this episode of Impulse, the ifm show, we put our products to the test and explore what means for modern mobile machinery.

🎥 Watch the video and discover how ifm helps prepare mobile machines for physical and digital challenges.

Simplifying Port Automation with AS-i and IO-Link 📈

AS-i simplifies port automation with a standardised 2-wire wiring system, reducing installation effort and costs. Combined with an IO-Link master, intelligent sensors provide real-time diagnostics and easier 🚢maintenance, helping increase crane and spreader availability, even in the harsh port environment.

• Faster commissioning
• Reduced wiring & maintenance complexity
• Real-time diagnostics
• Easy sensor replacement

Less wiring. More diagnostics. Higher crane availability. Better port performance. ⚓
