Hardly any industry is subject to such stringent quality requirements and legal regulations as the pharmaceutical industry. These regulations apply not only to active ingredients, production and storage, but also to labeling. Labels must accurately represent the products, be easy to read, and stick reliably for a drug’s entire usability period.
When Jasper Engines and Transmissions in Jasper, Indiana, remanufactures a family of engines or transmissions, they ensure their products are of the highest quality, meeting or exceeding OEM specifications.
Think about what your cell phone was like 15 years ago. Most likely, it could be used only for telephone calls—no texting, no photos, no videos and no music. Think about your business trips then with your carry-on bag crammed with a camera, a portable CD player, a travel alarm, maybe a GPS, possibly a tape recorder, a day planner, a calculator and more.
On this episode of the Allied Expert Advice podcast, Neil Harrison, Director of Private Label Products for Allied Electronics plays a game of “Myth or Fact.” Allied customers are asked to send some of the myths and disparagements they hear most often about private label products in the industrial sector and Allied does some fact checking to help set the record straight.
The basic role of a safety door switch is easy to grasp. It provides a physical barrier that prevents people from bypassing the safety systems that protect them from bodily harm and nearby equipment from damage.
For utility workers such as linemen maintaining electrical lines or natural gas infrastructure one of the most critical, yet undervalued, tools of the trade have been headlamps. In low light conditions, these essential tools enable technicians to clearly view the task and surroundings under bright light while freeing up both hands.
In today’s industrial manufacturing space, it’s never one thing. Processes are connected, workflows are unified, and decisions in one arena have ripple effects that can impact an entire industrial ecosystem.
With the advancement of technologies and robotics, as well as the increasing challenges facing the agricultural industry (e.g., labor shortage, high labor costs, etc.), robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) are widely considered as an approach to revolutionize farming.
For those working in automaton and control there is no need to stress the importance of automotive manufacturing in Canada. As a country, Canada produces roughly 2 million light vehicles a year through 5 main OEM’s (Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Honda, and Toyota) that contributes roughly 19 billion annually to the GDP.
Robotic solutions can dramatically sharpen your competitive edge as a manufacturer, but they can also introduce more complexity into your operations. To address this issue, Omron have recently introduced their most full-featured machine automation controller to date.
Global certification service provider TÜV SÜD has confirmed the cybersecurity of Siemens Energy’s proven SPPA-T3000 control system by awarding IEC 62443-3-3 and IEC 62443-4-1 certifications.

Traceability is essential, and yet it can interfere with the flow of operations if you’re not using state-of-the-art technology. In industries like food and beverage, life sciences, and packaging, traceability often means reading multiple codes simultaneously while items are either stationary or moving by at speed.
One platform, multiple solutions – the Eplan Platform offers engineering software such as Preplanning for systematic preliminary planning, Electric P8 for preparing circuit diagrams and Pro Panel for 3D enclosure planning, all from a single source.
Printed pressure sensors are a well-established technology, having been used for applications such as car occupancy sensors, electric pianos, and some medical devices. To date, such sensors have always been based on piezoresistive materials, in which applying pressure increases conductivity.
