Recreational use of marijuana becomes legal on October 17. This has potentially serious implications for workplace health and safety. In this article, contributor Heather Hettiarachchi reviews a recent human rights decision considering whether who dismissed a worker for using medical marijuana on the job was discriminating on the basis of disability.
Industrial companies expect visibility into every aspect of new or upgraded plants, including their electrical control system. Now, the pressure is on integrators to help connect these systems and make their real-time data available to workers.
Siemens is setting the course for long-term value creation through accelerated growth and stronger profitability with a simplified and leaner company structure.

This summer, Cybertech celebrated the successful conclusion of a major SIS upgrade program for a client that began in 2006. The scope and length of the project required a significant team of both Cybertech and client resource
The Internet of Thing (IoT) is changing the world beyond recognition, both in the industrial sector and our private lives. And the number of internet-connected devices is set to almost double from 2018 to 2020. This exponential rise in IoT devices is believed to happen in large part because of the arrival of 5G in 2019.
We often take for granted the intricate mechanisms that are at work to ensure electricity is readily available to power our everyday lives. The evolving global landscape for electrical distribution and use has created a need for energy storage systems (ESS), making them among the fastest growing electrical power system products.
Bedrock Automation, maker of the Bedrock® Open Secure Automation (OSA) system, has announced the availability of the fifth in its series of white papers supporting implementation of Open Secure Automation (OSA).
HARTING has achieved a breakthrough that facilitates the use of connectors and connector-based cable assemblies in electrical control panels, switchgear and other control systems requiring UL 508 certification.
Few industrial innovations have weathered the years as well as heavy duty connectors. What was revolutionary in 1950 is an indispensable part of machine and plant design today. Legacy models continue to serve users remarkably well while the newest ones deliver important additional benefits.
SCADA, or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, is a software application used for process control. It is a control system which consists of several components such as software communication equipment, controller network interfaces, and input/output.
Modular freestanding enclosures offer a number of key advantages when compared to
traditional unibody enclosures. Many times these attributes are overlooked either out of
a false perception of increased enclosure costs, reluctance to change, or a simple lack
of awareness to the possible benefits of modular solutions.
As automation becomes increasingly common, the number of sensors and actuators is also increasing – making potential distribution or collection more complex as a result. Assembly times can now be shortened considerably, thanks to the new concept of the PTFIX compact distribution blocks with push-in technology. Available in different numbers of positions and mounting types, the distribution blocks can be used straight away and extended as required.
