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.

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.

Mouser: How Desktop PCB Fabrication Accelerates Hardware Development

Desktop printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing is reshaping how hardware is developed and prototyped. The formerly rigid and sequential hardware engineering process is becoming more fluid and integrated. No longer a standalone phase within a larger workflow, fabrication has become part of the in-house design process for many engineers. The ecosystem has matured from a collection of limited tools into a multimodal set of machines capable of producing a PCB layout and a fully soldered prototype in a day. This article explores how desktop PCB fabrication has evolved to augment the prototyping workflow. By enabling rapid in-house iteration across milling, printing, and laser workflows, engineers can refine designs quickly before releasing them for production fabrication.

Canada Controls: Yaskawa HV305 Drive – Big Performance in a Smaller Footprint

Compact enough for a single rooftop unit, capable enough for a multi-drive mechanical room. See how the Yaskawa HV305 HVAC AC Microdrive combines embedded BACnet MS/TP connectivity, a decade of maintenance-free operation, and a footprint up to 30% smaller than the competition—built to simplify HVAC installs from commissioning through year ten. As HVAC equipment shrinks and building automation networks get more demanding, OEMs and system integrators need a drive that keeps up—without adding installation complexity or long-term maintenance headaches. Tight mechanical rooms, evolving refrigerant standards, and a BMS that expects native connectivity all raise the bar for what a microdrive has to deliver.
