Based on IEEE 802.15.4, the SAM R30 module supports proprietary networks that can be customized and configured. This is suitable for applications where interoperability is not desired due to their inherent vulnerability to remote attacks, such as alarm systems, building automation, smart cities and industrial sensor networks.

This combination will allow the incorporation of functionality such as chatbots, call transcription, intent analysis, workflow automation, and fraud detection.

During a January preview for the event, over 120 journalists, including yours truly, gathered for presentations and discussions from the Hannover Messe team, and over 40 exhibitors, expanding on the topics and technologies that so many will experience

The rotor of servo motor is made smaller in diameter and longer in length, so that it has low inertia. ATO AC servo motors are available in power ratings from fraction of watt up to few 100 watts

This ebook will take an in-depth look at several new technologies and how they are leveraging IIoT advances in fields such as robotics, batteries and control systems. Continuous increases in productivity, profitability and efficiency will also be highlighted in this issue.

High-profile cyberattacks and security breaches are reminders that a comprehensive security plan is needed to protect industrial control systems and the critical infrastructure they control.

Selected as a Microsoft mixed reality partner representing the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, Bentley demonstrated how with SYNCHRO XR for HoloLens 2, users can interact collaboratively with digital construction models using gestures to plan, visualize, and experience construction sequencing.

By Simon Gibbs, Intertronics It is important to efficiently create a high-quality prototype. This article explains how design engineers can benefit from UV curing when 3D printing prototypes.

The holistic program is designed to improve the industry’s image and provide educational programs for all age groups across the education continuum.

Building on concepts identified in the IIC Industrial Internet Security Framework published in 2016, the SMM defines levels of security maturity for a company to achieve based on its security goals and objectives as well as its appetite for risk

Hardy wanted to abandon the dependency on just a few raw materials and instead use other nontraditional materials that were untapped in the marketplace. To do this, Hardy needed to overhaul the outdated controllers and distributed control system (DCS) that existed in the plant.

The TRICOR TCM 0325 Coriolis Mass Flow Meters detect air bubbles by monitoring the paint’s specific gravity. When the paint in pressure vessels begins to empty, air is introduced into the paint stream that results in a downward spike in paint gravity. Low paint specific gravity levels serve as an early warning for over-agitation and out-of-paint conditions.

An upgraded microwave module has made the Rosemount 3308 more tolerant to difficult process conditions and therefore able to deliver a more sensitive and repeatable measurement with accuracy

Measuring 20 mm in thickness, the DSP300-318 is specially designed for digital menu boards, self-ordering systems, retail applications, queuing systems, interactive kiosks, video walls, and more.

The TankScan TSU1000 automated tank measurement system optimizes the distribution and collection processes while decreasing the need for manual inspections at remote tank sites.

Sinamics G120X has a power range of 1–700 hp (0.75–630 kW) and can operate in a temperature range from -4 to +140° F (-20 to +60° C) with any standard motor, including synchronous reluctance motors (SRM). It has an integral DC choke for harmonics and EMC performance.

An optical isolation circuit is used to provide a barrier between the field wiring & associated field wiring issues (shorts, ground loops, transients, etc.)

New research published today in Science, led by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and Argonne National Laboratory, has identified how and when these gas pockets form, as well as a methodology to predict their formation – a pivotal discovery that could dramatically improve the 3D printing process.

By H2W Technologies Determining the right motion control solution may require some calculations to match the specifications found on a given motors data sheet.

The capaNCDT 61x0/IP capacitive measuring system is specially designed for industrial measurement tasks where precision is required. It detects parameters such as displacement, distance, deflection, expansion, and deformation of conductive targets.
