These BES R01 flatpack sensors are designed to help to combat the conditions found in welding environments.

By Phil Ng, Honeywell Process Solutions This article describes how the latest trend in field instrumentation technology and engineering practices – cloud-based tools to improve application validation, instrument selection, and device commissioning – can help improve project results while ensuring the safety and efficiency of industrial facilities.

The ADMS will replace the utilities’ legacy Outage Management System (OMS) with an integrated, enterprise OT solution that enables operational decisions based on information from various grid devices and automated meters.

The MXL2 with AMP includes two components produced by GE’s Additive Manufacturing Works (AMW) teams in Birr, Switzerland, and Greenville, South Carolina, United States: the first-stage turbine vanes and heat shields.

The M12B cylindrical microscopy camera, based on the Sony Pregius IMX304 CMOS sensor technology, is a solution for customers requiring high resolution and focus with a larger sensor. Available in both color and monochrome, the 12 MP camera has a 1.1” lens format.

The platform’s connectivity and bandwidth deliver data back to the controller. This helps future-proof control systems for a Connected Enterprise. It is built on a 1 Gigabit architecture with communications supporting Device Level Ring (DLR), linear and star topologies.

Powered by Savanna, Zebra’s data intelligence platform, MotionWorks is a portfolio of end-to-end solutions that integrate operational and edge data from multiple sources – including Ultra-Wideband (UWB), UHF RFID tags, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons and cameras – to create insights that mobilize action to solve business needs.

By Nick Boughton, Boulting Technology A plug and play device or computer bus has a specification that allows for the discovery of a hardware component in a system without physical device configuration or user intervention. This article explores the growing trend of plug and play technologies.

The Open Group Houston 2018 - Digital Transformation in the Energy Industry - will bring together vendors and end user organizations to discuss the development of standards-based and interoperable architecture, with a particular focus on technical and business issues for process automation.

LA-20.6 series industrial AC-LVDTs operate from a nominal 3 Vrms, 2.5 - 3.3 kHz excitation source. They are packaged in a 0.812 inch (20.6 mm) OD SS housing with 12-inch leads, and are offered with either a metric or unified threaded 0.250 inch (6.4 mm) diameter core that works in a 0.313 inch (8 mm) ID bore.

All three optical sensors are offered in a 2.0mm x 2.0mm 0.5mm QFN package. The TSL2541’s package is made with a special dark compound which makes the device almost undetectable when mounted under inked cover glass.

Suitable for sensor applications including capacitive touch interfaces, the ATtiny3217 and ATtiny3216 have two Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) that enable systems to implement touch control simultaneously with other analog measurements.

The Studio 5000 Application Code Manager application provides a single place for engineers to access the content, build their applications and even test applications before they build a cabinet.

Honeywell also will provide the process design package, proprietary and non-proprietary equipment, on-site operator training, technical services for startup and continuing operation, and catalysts and adsorbents for the project.

The unit is intended to boost production and expand the capacity and range of its high-voltage dry bushings offering and is under construction at the company’s complex in Ludvika, Sweden

L-com’s OM4 and OM3, 24 channel, MPO fiber cables handle network throughput up to 100Gpbs (OM4) per fiber channel. Additional features include low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) cable jackets as well as full compatibility with US Conec MTP products.

This three-axis gimbal mount handles loads to 10kg (22.5 lbs) and has a clearance of 300 mm x 300 mm, (11.8 in. x 11.8 in.) around the roll axis stage.

Learn how one manufacturing organization approached the challenge of implementing and complying with the ISA84 Safety Lifecycle in existing facilities by adopting new management practices and software

By Jonathan Wilkins, EU Automation The logistics and supply chain sector has been inundated with new and novel transport technologies in the past two years, however, experts don’t expect many of these technologies to be widely available for another 5-10. This article explains why parts suppliers may be better served by focusing on reducing lead-times to same-day delivery.

By Tom DeVroy, IFS This article outlines three common reverse logistics scenarios. If these ring true then it may be time to evaluate whether your reverse logistics strategy is costing you time, money and customer satisfaction.
