Cybertech developed the Process Control and Safety Instrumented System Auditor to identify high-risk misalignments between plant process control and safety systems – and provide sufficient guidance to each plant system owner to resolve material issues.
When it comes to automation and its associated fields debate certainly remains as to its future direction, as well as the subsequent affects it will have on the workforce. However, there is consensus that education and cross-sector co-operation will be key factors to maximize that innovative potential.
With IoT Insights Bosch Rexroth brings the analytical potential of the Internet of Things into the production hall and makes optimizing machines and production lines considerably easier. The new system solution contains everything that IoT users, including machine operators and maintenance technicians, need to be able to quickly collect, pass on and analyze data: sensors, a pre-installed IoT Rack including industrial PC and I/O modules as well as pre-installed IoT Gateway software, database and dashboard for local analysis and visualization.
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) continues to advance at a rapid rate. And pharmaceutical companies are transforming the industry by using smart, connected devices, analytics, and machine learning to improve drug manufacturing processes and deliver better patient outcomes.
Emerson has recently completed a $73 million contract for automation systems and cloud engineering services, helping North West Redwater Partnership design, execute and complete its first-of-a-kind Sturgeon Refinery.
The three-member team of GSA Elektrotechnik approaches their projects with much enthusiasm and joy. This includes finding and using new products such as the new RiLine Compact that was used for the first time for a heat recovery system.
What will it take to move highly specialized regenerative medicine – engineering or regenerating human cells, tissues and organs – from lab to production?
FANUC America Corporation, the leading supplier of robotics, CNC systems, ROBOMACHINEs and Industrial IoT solutions held a ground breaking ceremony today to mark the start of construction of its new North Campus facility in Auburn Hills, MI.
Like many cyclical industries, mining is reviving, driven by steady global economic growth and an increasing demand for materials to support new technologies like electric vehicles, renewable energy and mobile devices. Despite the optimism, the industry still faces major operational challenges including process efficiencies, cost control, worker health and safety, and skills gaps.
Germain Lamonde, President and founder of EXFO, is this year’s EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2018 Québec winner.
New, first-of-its-kind research released last week by Honeywell shows that removable USB media devices such as flash drives pose a significant – and intentional – cybersecurity threat to a wide array of industrial process control networks.
In a recent sit-down Electrical Industry Canada was able to learn a little about Susan’s history and what drives her to succeed.
Adding more intelligence to e-houses – while managing multiple vendors and meeting tighter project deadlines – is not easy. But it’s a challenge that you and many other EPCs must meet today.
An Industrial Control System (ICS) needs the type of network security that takes into consideration its central role in industrial applications. Problems that arise in ICS operations can result in losses on many different levels, including costs incurred from equipment damage, and even loss of life. Although ICS networks may use some of the same technology and devices as enterprise IT systems…
Industrial IoT (IIoT) and smart factory trends are redefining today’s OEM business model. Predictive maintenance, improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), and zero equipment downtime are goals that are commonly sought after for industrial machines, and machine builders are leaving no stone unturned to achieve these for their customers.
With factories around the world jumping onto the IT bandwagon, IT engineers are on the lookout for products and solutions that allow them to easily connect their factory’s OT systems to IT networks. Although IT engineers are generally well versed in the various IT protocols used to transmit data across a network, they are less familiar the many OT protocols used in their factories.
