By Philip Allen, Grace Engineered Products Driving to work last week, deep in thought, pondering the many reasons companies use Permanent Electrical Safety Devices (PESDs) in their electrical safety programs I finally stumbled across a perfect analogy for electrical safety principles.

Line symbol from ISA-5.1-1984, revised 2009.

The model NCC08-75-3000-3X is capable of generating a continuous force of 300 pounds [1330 N] and a peak force of 900 pounds [4000 N] at a duty cycle of 10% (i.e. 1 second on, and 9 seconds off).

This robotic technology is designed help build supply chains. The design can accomplish volumes ranging from millions of units a day, to a small operation in the backroom of a supercenter or mall anchor store.

The e-CAM21_CUTX2 camera is a camera for smart applications powered by Machine Learning and Deep Learning technologies on the powerful Tegra X2 platforms including smart surveillance, smart parking and other innovative applications requiring cameras with excellent image quality

R-TecLiner’s spring return mechanism is designed to guide the energy package with minimal wear. The completely enclosed system comes in aluminum housing to protect against hazards and dust ingress.

The industrial PC is made for automatic optical inspection, digital signage, motion control, factory automation, and many more Industrial IoT applications.

In andon, manufacturers can collect production results (pass/fail) and station status (red/yellow/green) in real time for each station on the manufacturing floor. This data can be collected through andon’s web app or through their public API for integration with a company’s existing automation.

The plant will give the centers of competence for flow measurement engineering, liquid analysis and temperature measurement engineering additional capacity.

Aspen Mtell is part of the aspenONE Asset Performance Management (APM) software suite combining big data, machine learning and process knowledge to maximize performance across the design, operations and maintenance asset lifecycle.

The SC2818 motors are available in three lengths, each with one or two shafts. The version with the B-shaft is optionally offered with an NOE1 encoder with up to 2000 increments/revolution.

Markus Schmidt, President of Swisslog Logistics Automation Americas, announced the appointments as part of Swisslog’s global initiative to focus on key customers and industries.

By Vikrant Angia, VCO Systems Too many in the picking product space fail to understand the complexities of the fast-changing omni-channel experience and associated total supply chain costs. Organizations must be optimized to provide the right product to end customers, across the various channels that share inventory.

The Tolomatic ServoChoke SVC electric choke valve actuator is designed to meet requirements for a more flexible high-speed actuator in performance drilling applications such as managed pressure drilling (MPD), set-point control or choke-and-kill.

Powered by Intel Apollo Lake processing, the ML350 is a customizable computing platform, purpose-built from board to chassis for applications ranging from digital signage and machine automation, to industrial IoT and edge computing.

The LEC-2137, measured at 198mm x 57mm x 143.8mm (W x H x D), is a thin client gateway that can be configured with either a total of 6 Ethernet ports or 2 Ethernet ports and 4 PoE ports.

Once the students build a robot, their teams will participate in one or more of the global 158 regional and district events that measure the effectiveness of each robot, the power of collaboration, and the determination of students. The competition culminates at the 2018 FIRST Championship, 18-21 April in Houston, Texas and 25-28 April in Detroit, Michigan.

The technical curriculum being taught by Endress+Hauser will offer in-depth training on technology and instrumentation for monitoring and managing temperature, flow and pressure for machinery and equipment in industrial process industries.

Altman assumes her new responsibilities from outgoing board chair General Stanley McChrystal, U.S. Army, retired, who served as chairman since the organization’s inception in 2011.

Solutions for virtualization, cloud and mobility are becoming more stable, reachable and cost-competitive to a larger number of industrial SCADA end-users.
