The Kick-off meeting of the R-PODID project took place in Cesena, Italy on September 11-12, in which 33 partners from 9 European countries will collaborate under the leadership of the University of Bologna.
IMA is one of the three Czech participants in the project.
The aim of the three-year project R-PODID (RELIABLE POWERDOWN FOR INDUSTRIAL DRIVES) co-financed by KDT JU is to develop automated, cloud-free, short-term failure prediction for electric drives, power modules and power devices that can be integrated into energy converters. With the support of partners, R-PODID innovations will be implemented in power modules and applied in four use cases for conveyor belts, industrial lighting, automotive traction inverters and heavy-duty test equipment.
SicherheitsExpo Munich 2026 offered a clear view of what customers and partners are looking for in modern access control: flexible installation, reliable smart locking technologies, secure data handling, and solutions that are easy to understand in practice.
Over two days in Munich, conversations with visitors from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland showed strong interest in smart locker systems, battery-powered locks, wireless access technologies, and the growing role of cybersecurity in everyday access management. The event also confirmed that live product demonstrations remain one of the most effective ways to explain how modern access solutions can solve real customer challenges.
SicherheitsExpo 2026 was an important opportunity for IMA to showcase what modern access control can look like when security, product quality, and innovation come together.
On July 1-2, IMA was represented at the show by our DACH sales representative, Christian Friedrich, together with Jaroslav Budka and Žaneta Dubnická.
Employees or students no longer need to carry plastic cards or fobs to their imaLOCKERS. The OSL.03-L series locks now respond to phone taps via NFC, supporting both Android and iPhone systems. Users receive their digital keys remotely, while existing RFID cards remain fully functional with no change to their operation.
