AI-Driven Predictive Maintenance: Cage Clamps with embedded microchips (e.g., WAGO PFC200) will analyze current signatures to predict terminal wear. Edge Computing Integration: Terminals with integrated processing (e.g., Phoenix Contact PLCnext) will preprocess sensor data at the edge, slashing cloud latency. Sustainable Materials: Recyclable thermoplastic housings (e.g., RS PRO EcoLine) will reduce carbon footprints by 60%.
