2026 | August

Dear Sir / Madam,

In this August issue, we examine this trend from various perspectives: from IMET’s new approach to machine development to the growing responsibility for cybersecurity throughout the entire product lifecycle.
 We also show how the role of the HMI is changing within modern edge architectures.
 Three stories, one common goal: making industrial technologies more connected, flexible, and future-proof.

CUSTOMER SUCCESS STORY | IMET

A New Way to Develop Machines

For IMET, developing a new generation of metal band saws meant far more than simply rethinking the machine itself. Together with EXOR International and CORVINA, the company introduced a new architecture that combines edge computing, modern visualization, and remote connectivity, thereby bringing mechanics and software closer together and creating a technological foundation for future developments.

The EXOR International Perspective

Bringing Software and Visualization Closer to the Machine

With MicroEdge Basic, the eX721 HMI, and JMobile, IMET has introduced a new technological architecture that supports a completely redesigned user experience and gives software a more central role in machine development.

The CORVINA Perspective

Expanding the Machine Beyond Local Operation

With CORVINA, connectivity becomes an integral part of the machine and its service model. VPN remote access, machine transparency, and data collection provide IMET with the foundation for more connected technical support and future digital services.

Cybersecurity Doesn't End with Commissioning

Since industrial products are increasingly connected and software-controlled, cybersecurity can no longer be considered solely during the development or installation phases.

Regulatory requirements and standards are driving the industry toward a lifecycle approach in which secure development, vulnerability management, trustworthy updates, and long-term product support become part of the manufacturer’s responsibility.

What will this shift mean for machine builders and providers of industrial technologies in 2026?

When the HMI Becomes Part of the Edge Architecture

The role of the HMI is changing. Visualization remains crucial, but modern machine architectures increasingly require the integration of monitoring, connectivity, data management, and control functions.

In an article published by Automation Technology, EXOR International explains how JMobile has evolved beyond traditional visualization within the X Platform ecosystem and is now part of a more comprehensive engineering environment for flexible and scalable edge architectures.

EVENTS

EVERYTHING ELECTRIC SYDNEY

EXOR Oceania will join Alpine Energy at Everything Electric Sydney to showcase how edge automation is moving into mobile equipment and distributed energy infrastructure. At the center of the exhibition will be the MGEN platform, combining EV fast charging, grid-forming power, cybersecurity by design and intelligent fleet management in a single vehicle. 

 Meet us in Sydney on 18–20 September 2026 at Booth C6. 

TECH.CON

Novotek Switzerland, the official distribution partner for technologies from EXOR International and Corvina, will participate in TECH.CON 2026, a leading trade show for production and process automation, robotics, and industrial digitalization.

 September 23–24, 2026 – Austria

Dornbirn, September 23 and 24, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
