With the igus Mobile Shore Power Outlet (iMSPO), igus has developed a mobile connection system for shore power supply that can be positioned at any location along the terminal where a ship is berthed. This solution, which is already in use at the Port of Hamburg, received the “Ports and Harbor Innovation of the Year” award at the Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo Europe 2024 in Amsterdam.
“igus is a company with a hands-on mentality that simply loves research.” This was the summary of students from the Technische Hochschule Nürnberg Georg Simon Ohm, who visited the igus factory in Cologne to deepen their knowledge of automation technology. Last July, they travelled to Bordeaux as Team Autonohm to take part in the 26th RoboCup World Championships with the igus low-cost cobot ReBeL.
On Saturday, 27th January 2024, igus will open its doors in Cologne for the RoboCup Junior competition. Pupils from the Rhineland compete against each other with their self-built robots in various disciplines to prepare their qualification for the German Championships. Interested spectators and members of the press are very welcome.
