The new C6027 ultra-compact Industrial PC (IPC) from Beckhoff is a fanless device that offers high computing power in a compact form factor with Intel Core i U series processors.
The SPD2 1P+0 series is a surge protection device that safeguards components from transient overvoltage or surges that last micro-seconds by limiting the fault current to a load or the unit being protected. The majority of surges are caused by equipment being turned on or off within a facility. By limiting these surges, costly damage, downtime, repairs, and missed deadlines can be mitigated. The surge protection devices for the 1+0 configuration are available for 60 V to 600 V nominal voltage sub-distribution board applications.
Movable guards such as swing gates and sliding gates, flaps or covers, can be found in almost every application. If there are dangerous overrun movements, a safety locking device with appropriate manipulation protection in accordance with EN ISO 14119 is required. The safety gate cannot be opened until all hazardous machine movements are stopped. A restart is not possible until the safety gate is closed and locked. It must not be possible to either defeat or manipulate the safeguards. Pilz safety switches with guard locking offer the right solution for both process and personnel protection – for safe, productive working.
ABB launches ABB Ability OPTIMAX 6.4, the latest version of its flagship digital energy management and optimization system, to provide coordinated control of multiple industrial assets and processes, for improved energy efficiency, to reduce emissions and support decarbonization. The performance and usability upgrades to OPTIMAX include an AI module for improved forecasting of load demand, energy generation and energy pricing without manual interaction. This significantly reduces day-ahead and intra-day nomination errors when feeding energy to the grid, which helps avoid rising penalty payments for operators.
Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs) ensure electrical safety in homes, offices and other buildings as well as for industrial applications by protecting electrical installations against overloads and short-circuits. Once a fault is detected, the MCB automatically switches off the electrical circuit to prevent damage to wires and to avoid the risk of fire. MCBs are equipped with two tripping mechanisms: the delayed thermal tripping mechanism for overload protection and the magnetic tripping mechanism for short circuit protection. For 100 years, ABB has continued to innovate MCBs and expand their product line to meet the demands of various applications and markets. ABB’s products are compliant with global product standards such as IEC, UL and CSA. This established and certified portfolio is designed to provide maximum safety for buildings, assets and infrastructure.
With the Eaton Power Xpert Multi-Point meter, facility managers can track and accurately allocate energy usage among tenants or departments.

Advanced Motion Controls is proud to announce the addition of six new CANopen servo drives with Extended Environment capabilities to their FlexPro line. These new drives join AMC’s existing EtherCAT Extended Environment FlexPro drives, making the FlexPro line the go-to solution for motion control applications in harsh environments.
Many motion control applications take place in conditions that are less than ideal, such as extreme temperatures, high and low pressures, shocks and vibrations, and contamination. Electronics, including servo drives, can malfunction or sustain permanent damage in these conditions.

October 20, 2026 Discover How Active Load Sharing Offers a More Precise Way to Combine Multiple DIN Rail Power Supplies When an industrial application requires more power than a single DIN rail power supply can deliver, connecting several units in parallel is an obvious solution. The technical challenge is to distribute the load evenly without… Read More…

A few years ago, the focus was on digital transformation itself. Organizations were asking whether they should invest, where to begin, and how quickly they could justify the cost. Today, the debate is largely over. According to Rockwell Automation’s 11th annual State of Smart Manufacturing Report, 90% of manufacturers now say digital transformation is necessary… Read More…
