According to a new report published by Dell Technologies and the Institute for the Future (IFTF), emerging technologies such as IoT, along with massive advancements in software, big data and processing power, will reshape society.

Polytron Devices will now operate as a division of Daburn Electronics and will be moving its manufacturing and sales operations to Daburn’s headquarters in Dover, N.J.

The IN65 limit switches have a protection rating of IP67 and are rated for more than 30 million mechanical cycles, while ensuring switching reliability for as little as 1 mA at 5VDC. The switches conform to DIN EN 50047.

These DC/DC converters are a solution for space critical applications in battery-powered equipment, instrumentation, communication and industrial electronics.

This certification, from Great Place to Work Canada, is based on direct feedback from employees, provided as part of an extensive and anonymous survey about the Electromate workplace experience.

Used in paper and paper converting, food and drug, petrochemical, HVAC, textile, and energy management industries, NCP Series I/P transducers provide operation of pneumatic valve positioners, valve actuators, air cylinders, damper and louver actuators, web tensioners, clutches and brakes.

This micro block accommodates the increasing miniaturization of machine, switchgear, and control cabinet design. The MP 1.5 blocks feature a connection capacity of 0.14 mm² to 1.5 mm² (26-16 AWG).

The AAEON FWS-2271 comes with a steel casing that is ideal for wiring closets, conference rooms, retail branches, or small offices requiring reliable performance and quiet operation.

By Ian Humphries, Boulting Group Research conducted by the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) shows that just six per cent of the engineering workforce in the UK is female, making the country one of the smallest employers of female engineering professionals in Europe. This article explores the pathways into the sector and how it is evolving.

In a new paper published in the journal Nature, scientists based in Scotland and Switzerland describe how they have used tomography and high energy x-rays, combined with a novel reconstruction algorithm, to peer inside and reconstruct the magnetic structure of a micrometer-sized 'pillar' of gadolinium-cobalt magnetic material for the first time.

These sensors weigh 1.85 grams with a size of 9.6 mm x 17.3 mm. They are hermetically sealed in a rugged titanium housing and feature easy to install thru-hole mounting.

Providing digital measurements of illuminance (brightness) and chromaticity matching the CIE 1931 “Standard Observer” XYZ scale enabling True Color functionalities, the TCS3430 may be used for functions such as display management, automatic white color balancing or color management.

The MX models utilize rows of cylindrical rollers to provide a greater contact area than slides that use steel balls. As a result, bearings deliver load capacities up to 674 kN for dynamic loads and 1,300 kN for static loads.

The heavy-duty contact inserts are compatible with many common transmission lines, so they can be combined with other housings and connection mechanisms.

This suite of solutions, which includes Machine & Equipment Health, Reliability Management, Compliance and Integrity Management, and Asset Strategy Optimization, is a set of software applications that use data and analytics designed to improve the reliability and availability of industrial assets, minimize total cost of ownership, improve safety, and reduce operational risks.

Using a film technology Aluminum Oxide replaceable sensor element, the AquaXact 1688 enables dew point and ppm H2O measurements in various process applications, including glove boxes, air separation units, natural gas processing and instrument air.

Effective cybersecurity management is essential for all organizations, regardless of size. This ISA document is intended to provide a starting point for small- and medium-businesses (SMBs), particularly those that manage industrial processes and employ some level of automation.

Key success factors for process analytical technology are management commitment, a cross-departmental strategy, and assigning appropriate resources.

Alongside their optimism toward automation, workers also report a willingness to retrain or upskill to maintain their current job status. In fact, the study found half of the respondents (51%) agreed they would be happy to retrain if they were being paid the same or more than their current salary.

CyberX’s ICS Attack Vector Prediction technology generates a visual representation of all possible attack chains — ranked by risk — that can compromise critical OT assets, such as robotics machinery in manufacturing plants and circuit breakers in electrical substations
