Omron’s self-mapping, self-navigating mobile robots are an innovative solution for automating materials transport tasks. Although each individual robot can act autonomously, there’s much more power in a coherent, coordinated group.

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.
Are you maximizing your enclosure system? The TS 8 by Rittal combines a closed frame construction, full-coverage and easy to remove panels, and a greater mounting surface to offer you.
