Starting in April, DENSO’s R&D satellite will begin collaborating with local startups to pioneer new technologies. DENSO will tap into Israel’s technology strengths to develop more technologies, both internally and through collaborative research with local companies and universities.

Internally, the Series 17 includes a permanently lubricated steel gear train and declutchable manual override. The Series 17 also features a combination NEMA 4X and 6 enclosure, which is finished with a thermally bonded powder coat to protect against corrosion, an ISO bolt circle and flying leads

The guidelite vertical systems ensure that vertically moving energy chains in dynamic applications are safely held in place while moving at high speeds. The system’s open design is intended to reducs resonance and noise and allows cable system speeds to reach more than 7 meters per second.

Dold force guided relays have at least one NC contact set and one NO contact set. Dold force guided relays are available with up to 6 poles in several NO/NC combinations with 5A contact rating, and provide a large wire cross-section (12-24 AWG)

Wavelet decomposition enables differentiation between faulty & healthy conditions for effective diagnostic procedure for wind turbine condition monitoring.

The FieldComm Group Plant of the Year is an international award presented to end user companies in the process automation industry to recognize exceptional application of FOUNDATION Fieldbus and / or HART Communication technologies.

Enclosed in an aluminum housing, the device weighs no more than 160 grams. It is equipped with a redundant Hall sensor that can track up to 64 turns. It is designed for applications in construction machinery, mobile work platforms, and for length measurements in draw-wire systems

ImageFlex enables developers of image/video processing and visualization applications on GPUs to be productive by hiding the complexity of the underlying software layers

The Pillow and Flange Blocks have been designed to accommodate an encapsulated ETX Scraper Seals that prevents contaminants from getting inside the bearing and retains the lubricant in the bearing.

ISA/IEC 62443-4-1-2018, Security for Industrial Automation and Control Systems Part 4-1: Product Security Development Life-Cycle Requirements, specifies process requirements for the secure development of products used in an IACS.

The U.S. Small Business Administration recognized Control Station’s international growth with the 2018 Connecticut Exporter of the Year Award. The award is presented annually to a Connecticut-based business that demonstrates consistent growth in export sales and profits.

The platform concept works this way: HIMA and the user jointly select the appropriate hardware and software components and install them in the plants. Existing HIMA solutions can continue to be used or be upgraded to the latest generation.

The Kaspersky Lab report, “Threat Landscape for Industrial Automation Systems in H2 2017,” also found that for all other industries (manufacturing, transportation, utilities, food, healthcare, etc.) the proportion of ICS computers attacked ranged from 26 percent to 30 percent on average. The vast majority of detected attacks were accidental hits.
