With the new wave of technological progress, also measurement is becoming more challenging to tackle. To fill the gap between technical complexity and electronic expertise, Analog Devices launched MeasureWare for precise and fast measurement
The automotive industry is often a technology trendsetter for manufacturing industries. In this article, we will look at the sensing technology that is making the automation of leaks detection possible
Innovative approach to combat this increasing threat
On-demand production is a massive benefit enabled by additive manufacturing, with respect to batch-size, flexibility, and sustainability. It also enables virtual inventories, but the risks of potential threats are higher
Connectivity between devices through IO-Link makes vacuum handling not just smarter but safer at the same time. Enabling predictive maintenance was a key driver for this development as it increases machine lifetime and speeds up the maintenance process
Machine vision and deep learning can give companies a powerful technology to maximize investments. Catching the differences between traditional machine vision and deep learning, and understanding how these technologies complement each other is fundamental
FPGAs offer the configurability needed for real-time machine-learning inference, with the flexibility to adapt to future workloads. Making these advantages accessible to data-scientists and developers calls for tools that are comprehensive and easy to use
To be able to exploit technology and reduce the frequency of safety incidents, we need to design out human errors by putting the right practices and procedures in place and fostering a strong safety culture that reaches every level, starting at the top
For precise distribution of even minimal amounts of the required fluid, nozzle systems such as spray heads, HPM Technologie relies on Eisele connectors, which allow the supply of compressed air and liquids to the spray heads
Facilities management service provider Engie Cofely has made significant savings in maintenance and servicing costs using Schaeffler condition monitoring solution
Streamlined processes leading to better collaboration
Svendborg Brakes and Stromag provide an innovative solution: a new yaw control brake that makes wind turbine maintenance a breeze
After equipping its HVAC systems with ABB solutions, a landmark hotel in Madrid has reduced energy usage by 445,000 kWh
Storage and retrieval units have to function permanently under all-weather circumstances. SSI Schaefer, the general contractor for intralogistics solutions, has been choosing harnessed energy supply systems from igus with plug-in connectors from Harting
Even though robotic technology has deeply changed the industrial world, in warehouses most tasks are still performed by humans. Why a change is needed and what opportunities can the automation of warehouses create
Conveyors systems that use DC motor rollers should ideally include protection circuitry close to the rollers. The decentralized technology used here allows monitoring and also offers other important advantages
Protocols used to connect industrial equipment don’t work well over a network, making it difficult to connect Operations Technology (OT) to Information Technology (IT) through a reliable a secure connection
Exhibited at Hannover Messe 2019, the wide range of IP67-protected box modules based on EtherCAT technology from Beckhoff can acquire and process almost all signals from the field to measure currents, voltages, temperatures, pressures, weights
Addressing industrial communication’s issues is fundamental for the digital transition. Connectivity based on TSN can guarantee a smooth network synchronization that gets all the way through the physical world. A revolution that boosts industrial automa
In addition to the oscilloscope, a digital multimeter (DMM) is one of the most important measuring and diagnostic tools in electronics and electrical engineering. The following article explains which aspects should be considered when choosing a DMM
