Finder Relays have been a major manufacturer of Industrial Relays, Relay Interfaces, Timers, Solid State Relays, Industrial Thermoregulation, and a variety of other Control Panel Devices in Italy since 1954.
The Racine campus of Gateway Technical College sits in the middle of a booming manufacturing hub in Southeast Wisconsin. Apple-supplier Foxconn just built new facilities down the road and presently, visitors to Gateway’s campus can watch bulldozers lay the foundation for many future new plants outside.
Large and potentially hazardous machinery is a mainstay of many manufacturing companies, and safeguarding is critical in preventing serious accidents. While it’s never acceptable to provide less protection for the sake of boosting productivity, many manufacturers are seeking to determine which solutions offer full protection while maximizing uptime.
Cybersecurity costs businesses a lot of money – and with no measurable monetary income as a result. That leaves executives and board members scratching their heads and wondering: “Why are we spending so much on this? Why do we need to employ expensive professionals to manage and operate cybersecurity?”
Chances are, you’ve heard the expression “drowning in data.” And if you’re in the CPG industry, you’ve seen the proliferation of intelligent devices and data collection on the plant floor – and the quest for more data extending across all functions of your organization.
Like any other industrial machine, robots need to be properly selected for their intended task. If they aren’t they can become a process bottleneck or require more maintenance. Sometimes a needlessly complex and expensive robotic solution is chosen when a simple economically priced one would work instead.
As global competitive pressures continue to drive changes and higher expectations for your organization, industrial analytics has a magnified role in addressing increasing market demands.
Anyone who has been following the latest expert discussions on energy efficiency in machines and plants will have noticed that certain topics come up time and time again. The main examples are “variable frequency drives for optimum drive solutions” and “increasing efficiency in lowvoltage induction motors (EISA and NEMA Premium).”
With greater connectivity comes greater risk for security threats. These threats can take many forms, from bad actor hackers to well-intentioned mistakes. Cybersecurity events can impact network availability, interrupt operations and halt productivity.
If you have been following the news and happen to work in a process or manufacturing facility, you are probably thinking about how secure your environment is, and if it is at risk for critical production halting threats. Whether your company manufactures cars, packages food products, or provides an essential resource or goods to society, an attack could be crippling to not only your business but the population who may very well rely on the goods that you produce.
Improving the reliability of manufacturing processes can be done with the help of process control systems. The most significant advantage of control stations is that they help ensure that the processes are running smoothly.
Launched in 2017, the initiative challenged Omron’s channel partners to further the company’s mission of improving lives and contributing to a better society by striving for accelerated growth.
To enable the transformation to a sustainable society and preserve resources, production of solar collector panels must be precise, highly efficient and cost effective. To achieve this, Absolicon and ABB have developed the world’s only complete solution for the mass production of concentrated solar collectors, in Absolicon’s factory in Härnösand, Sweden.
UCEC has existed for more than sixty years by building the best control panels, period. To keep their focus on quality custom panels, they have never defined themselves as a “one-stop shop.” To be all things to all people with something as complicated as a control panel should send up a red flag.
During the past decade, we’ve all witnessed an incredible shift in the relationship between manufacturers and their OEMs. Once massive corporate engineering departments have significantly downsized.
As the pandemic created a “new normal” for how we live and work that no one could have imagined, the fulfillment and logistics industries experienced unprecedented growth. A key factor driving this market growth is omni-channel fulfillment.
