Every industrial manufacturer’s goal is operational optimization. But relying on disparate systems that operate on individual platforms can stand in the way and introduce risk. Various operational elements such as the basic process control system, the variable frequency drives (VFD), motor control centers, instrumentation, control software and energy management programs must work together as integral parts of production.
SmartD: SDB-1-2450-A | 3~480V 45kW-60 HP. The SmartD Clean Power Variable Frequency Drive is a compact AC drive utilizing SmartD’s patented own algorithms combined with WBG transistor technology. Producing a clean and pure sine wave to power and control 3-phase AC induction motors has never been easier. The SmartD VFD has essential features built-in for space, wiring and time savings, it eliminates the need for filters on the output, and guarantees longer motor lifetime.
Rittal: Canada’s Strategic Response to Evolving Trade Policies in 2025. As we step into 2025, Canada’s industrial sectors face significant challenges and opportunities shaped by a dynamic global trade environment. From addressing the implications of international tariffs to securing critical mineral supplies, Canada is adopting strategic measures to navigate these shifts while ensuring economic resilience.
Rockwell Automation: What to Know About Navigating the End of RSlogix 5. For nearly four decades, the Allen‑Bradley PLC-5 and its programming software RSLogix 5 have been the cornerstone for industrial automation. While paving the way for future PLC and software development seen today, the longevity speaks to its reliability and robustness of the platform. However, as technology evolves, the industry must continue to evolve along with it to achieve modern business and expectations. RSLogix 5 will reach its final lifecycle phase on December 31, 2025.
SICK: Inspector83x, AI-Powered Quality Control Made Stress-Free. Put an end to wasted material or faulty products. Put an end to long setup times or expensive reconfiguration when the product is changed. Put an end to complicated integration or data trapped on the shop floor.

Proax and Custom Enclosures – In the world of industrial and commercial applications, custom enclosures play a critical role in protecting sensitive equipment and ensuring operational efficiency. But what exactly are custom enclosures, and why might you need one? Let’s break it down.
For every online retailer, warehouse logistics is part of the critical infrastructure: If the conveyor lines come to a standstill, it generally won’t be possible for any more packages to get out. To prevent this, an Australian office equipment supplier has retrofitted the warehouse logistics installation of its central warehouse. In its role as project manager, Layer Seven Automation replaced the proprietary decentralized controllers of the conveyor lines with PC-based control from Beckhoff, based on powerful EtherCAT communication.
The National Electrical Trade Council (NETCO), a collaboration between the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Canada and the Canadian Electrical Contractors Association (CECA), has taken a major step in standardizing electrical training across Canada with the launch of its VR Motor Control Training. This innovative program is the first to standardize motor control training for IBEW electrical apprentices nationwide.
