OMRON: Why Automation Is Only as Smart as Your Data

The DX100 Data Flow Edge Device transforms raw machine signals into contextual insights with minimal setup and minimal coding expertise required. By seamlessly integrating with existing equipment and delivering real-time visualizations, it empowers teams to stop guessing and start knowing. Many manufacturers invest in automation only to find their machines speak a language they can’t interpret. Sensors record vibration, temperature, pressure, and event data, but without a reliable way to capture and contextualize those signals, teams end up chasing ghosts. When a sensor drifts out of tolerance or a changeover goes sideways, operators resort to guesswork rather than data-driven insights.

Mouser: Future Trends in Control Panels

As Industry 4.0 gives way to 5.0—and even early ideas of 6.0—control panels are becoming more intelligent, more connected, and far more adaptable. Industry 4.0 introduced digitalization and connectivity to manufacturing. It brought us smart factories where machines talk to each other, collect real-time data, and make automated decisions. Industry 5.0 builds on that by putting people back in the center—combining human creativity with advanced robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) to create more personalized, sustainable production. Industry 6.0, though still conceptual, looks even further ahead. It imagines a future of hyper-personalized manufacturing where machines not only collaborate with humans but evolve in real time—driven by AI, seamless human-machine integration, and the potential of quantum computing.

PULS: MCB vs eFuse – Which Is the Best Solution for Properly Securing DC Circuits?

In times of unregulated transformer power supplies, traditional miniature circuit breakers (MCB) have established themselves as the main protection modules. However, when primarily switched-mode power supplies were introduced in the 1990s, they quickly replaced transformer power supplies in industrial applications. The new technology enabled more efficient and compact power supplies that better met the increased demands of the industry. The era of transformers was thus over, but the MCBs remained and continued to be used in conjunction with switched-mode power supplies, even on the DC side. However, there are now much better and, above all, more reliable protection mechanisms, such as electronic circuit breakers.
