Our featured article this week, Vehicle Operator Safety: The Advantages of Using Electronic Sensors in Off-road Vehicles, was written by ifm efector. It's an interesting article about how industrial sensors, similar to those used in factory automation applications, are used on off-road vehicles. The article explains three different sensing technologies and how they are applied to help make off-road vehicles safe for operators.
In this issue, we're also featuring the Industrial Control & Data Acquisition Resource CD, just updated last month with the latest and great solutions offered by SIXNET.
Well, it's another new month (I can't believe it's August already), so we've also updated our Featured Products. In this issue, we're featuring the PROFINET Products offered by Siemens along with National Instruments' new version of LabVIEW.
One of our training partners, IDC Technologies, is offering a workshop on TCP/IP & Ethernet Networking. Check out the information below for workshop locations, dates, and cost.
And, as usual, don't forget to review the Product Announcements, Company News and Job Postings added to our site in the last week.
On to the good stuff...Enjoy the rest of this e-news!

Vehicle Operator Safety: The Advantages of Using Electronic Sensors in Off-road Vehicles As virtual "plants-on-wheels," off-road vehicles are exposed to extreme shock and vibration, harsh chemicals, dirt and electrical interference. In industries such as construction, agriculture and forestry, vehicles must navigate on uneven surfaces while lifting and moving heavy loads. For vehicle operators, the chances of tipping or rolling over are high, and safety is a concern. This white paper will describe the advantages of using three distinct sensor types in off-road vehicles to improve operator safety. Read full article by ifm efector, inc.
