ITC 101 Series: Why You Should Use Ferrules & Crimp Terminals for Safer Connections

Proper wire termination helps create secure, reliable electrical connections in control panels and machinery. Ferrules and crimp terminals prepare wire ends for different connection types, providing several benefits such as strong mechanical and electrical connections, reduced electrical resistance, protecting wire ends from fraying, corrosion and short circuits, as well as organized wiring for easy installation and maintenance.

LOVATO Electric: Optimizing Energy Consumption in Industrial Greenhouses in Canada – A Key to Productivity

The industrial greenhouse sector in Canada is booming, driven by the growing demand for fresh, locally grown produce available year-round. However, this growth comes with a major challenge: energy consumption. Lighting, heating, ventilation, irrigation, and automation are all significant cost factors for greenhouse operators. In some facilities, energy expenses can account for 30 to 40% of total operating costs. To remain competitive, greenhouse managers must invest in efficient and reliable energy management solutions. That’s precisely where Lovato Electric brings its expertise.

Bedford Industrial Automation: 5 Platforms, One Team – Why Multi-Platform Capability Matters in 2026

Most integrators specialize in one PLC brand. Maritime plants rarely have the luxury of a single-brand floor, and that gap costs them. Walk a Maritime plant floor and count the control platforms. On a site of any age, you will usually find at least three, sometimes five: an Allen-Bradley line installed when the plant expanded, a Schneider panel that came with a piece of European equipment, an Omron controller inside an OEM machine nobody has opened, and something from a vendor that no longer exists. This is normal. Plants do not buy control systems. They buy machines, and the control system arrives inside them.

Leviton: What Is a Network Patch Panel & How Does It Work?

You’ve probably seen a network patch panel before, even if you didn’t recognize it: a row of ports housed in a single metal plate, with various cables and patch cords in different colored sheaths extending to other pieces of equipment. Patch panels are typically in network racks or wall-mounted enclosures found in data centers, telecom rooms, and wiring closets. But what are patch panels, exactly, and how do they work? This article will break down the function of patch panels and explore how they provide benefits for cable management, network security, physical layer protection, and simplified network management.

Mouser: Red Lion PXU PID Controllers

Red Lion PXU PID Controllers accept signals from a variety of temperature sensors, including thermocouples or RTD. These controllers can also be configured for process inputs, including 0VDC to 5/10VDC, 0/4mA DC to 20mA DC, or 0mV DC to 50mV DC. The PXU PID controllers can provide an accurate output control signal (time proportional or DC analog output) to maintain a process at a determined setpoint value. These controllers offer dual 4-digit display readings, allowing simultaneous viewing of the temperature/process and setpoint values. The PXU PID controllers provide front panel indicators to inform the operator of alarm and control output status. These controllers allow the user to select between PID, on/off, and manual control mode. The PXU controllers can provide two control outputs, which can be individually configured for reverse or direct (heating or cooling) applications.

Hammond: Thermostat-Controlled Rack Cabinet Fan Kits – DTFK Series

The DTFK Series Thermostat-Controlled Fan Kits provide intelligent cooling for rack cabinets and industrial enclosures by operating only when additional airflow is required. An integrated adjustable thermostat automatically activates the fan as enclosure temperatures rise and shuts it off once the desired temperature is restored. This helps protect sensitive electronics while reducing energy consumption, noise, and unnecessary fan wear. Available in both intake and exhaust configurations with airflow up to 550 CFM, the DTFK Series is ideal for industrial automation, networking, telecommunications, and edge computing applications. Designed for Hammond filtered enclosures and compatible with many products featuring the standard 4.7-inch fan pattern, these kits offer an easy way to improve thermal management without continuous fan operation.
