The integration of the industry protocol OPC UA is another milestone for the IDS NXT platform. The intelligent IDS NXT cameras can now communicate with machines and controllers in the same standardised language to exchange tasks and results instantly.

The implementation of this key technology enables the integration of smart cameras into factory automation without the need for additional hardware or programming.

This is unique in the market. Standardised communication via OPC UA also creates the foundation for "plug and produce" of...

A new technical article from Titan Enterprises discusses how variation in flow velocity can impact flow measurement accuracy and how to mitigate any undesirable effects. It is well known that flowmeters are sensitive to effects such as pulsating flow in systems using diaphragm, peristaltic or piston pumps which can generate errors in flow measurement.

In a pulsating flow system, the velocity profile of the flow undergoes a dramatic change during each cycle of pulsation compared to even flow conditions. According to theory, to accurately...
