The radio remote control is designed and produced to achieve superior performance while being exposed to the harsh conditions of underground mining. Bi-directional controls allow not only the control of the underground loader (LHD), but a responsive touch that gives the operator the ultimate level of security and safety.
Carlo Gavazzi Automation has announced the launch of EMS – Energy Management System, its latest integrated solution for comprehensive energy monitoring and control. Designed in a compact 5-DIN module format, EMS combines measurement, data logging, communication, and analysis into one powerful device. It ensures accurate acquisition of energy and electrical variables, secure data storage, and seamless data exchange with local and remote systems, including Building Management Systems (BMS), industrial ERP/MES platforms, and cloud-based energy services. Thanks to its All-in-One architecture, EMS offers exceptional versatility: it can serve as a fast, reliable IIoT energy meter or operate as a complete energy management system. The built-in web user interface enables multiple users to access dashboards, generate reports, and analyse data in real time—from any device.

Phoenix Contact is extending its portfolio with PCB terminal blocks for PROFINET-compliant data transmission. Each of the 4-position PCB terminal blocks have been designed specially for the connection of twisted pair cables with cross-sections of 0.14 mm² to 4 mm².
Connectivity between production and automation systems in process manufacturing and the Internet is constantly increasing. In order to fully protect manufacturing systems against cyberattack, B&R has further enhanced the user management features of the APROL process control system. Distributed, autonomous security cells provide simple yet efficient protection for systems against malicious software and attacks from hackers.
As 5G deployments continue to roll out, technologies — including small cells and repeaters — will need to be integrated to help enable widespread connectivity and the vast throughput promised by next-generation networks.

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.

Industrial systems create large volumes of data as they implement predictive maintenance and automation. Global data generation reached 181 zettabytes (ZB) in 2025, with estimates predicting 221ZB in 2026. Moving all that data to the cloud can overwhelm networks and slow response times. The latency of round-trip data to the cloud can range from tens… Read More…
