The World Robotics report presented by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) shows an annual global sales value of 16.5 billion USD in 2018 – a new record. 422,000 units were shipped globally in 2018 - an increase of 6 percent compared to the previous year.

This paper describes how electroindustry manufacturers and their customers can work together to improve the level of cybersecurity through industry best practices and guidelines.

The CPET is supported and equipped by Emerson and local Impact Partner Puffer-Sweiven and features an 8,000-square-foot exterior glycol process unit to develop troubleshooting skills for students and incumbent workers.

The full M12 Power range includes cable assemblies, field-wireable connectors, and panel-mounted receptacles with a quick disconnect system. Because they are designed for a common 16-mm panel knockout, the new additions simplify panel upgrades.

The latest version of Simcenter Testlab adds extensions to Simcenter Testlab Neo software– a platform for test-based engineering— and to the other Simcenter Testlab solutions.

The solution leverages Ewon’s Talk2M platform to create a secure link between the Ignition server and the target machine allowing machines to be located anywhere world-wide.

They are a choice for other applications that require accuracy, reliability, and structural integrity, including nuclear reactors, steam and gas turbines, chemical processes, and high temperature processing.

For secure remote access to the groov EPIC, the system offers VPN (virtual private network) client technology to connect to an OpenVPN-based VPN server. This option is intended to assist in creating secure data communication architectures, particularly with geographically dispersed systems.

IIoT enables machine builders to provide better service and support to customers and improve equipment availability.

Columbia/Okura has been working on the development of miniPAL a mobile, collaborative palletizing product integrating Universal Robot’s UR10e for some time. Columbia/Okura intends to launch this product range of palletizing “cobots” immediately.

UCal 4 Calibration Software helps derive value from NIR analytical programs with algorithms for custom NIR calibrations of almost any product including food, agricultural and industrial applications.

The UR16e combines a 35-lb payload capacity with a reach of 900 mm and pose repeatability of +/- 0.05 mm making it suitable for automatingtasks such as heavy-duty material handling, heavy-part handling, palletizing, and machine tending.

Typical applications include situational awareness, signals intelligence, ISR and radar, while the Pascal GPU’s parallelism also makes it a fit for GPGPU applications including machine learning and autonomy.

By Bill Lydon, Automation.com The Digital Twin has become one of the most powerful concepts of Industry 4. 0. The implementation of model-based, real-time, closed-loop monitoring, control, and optimization of the entire manufacturing and production process, the Digital Twin concept is helping organizations achieve real-time integrated manufacturing.

The MyEmerson development roadmap will centralize the management of software, hardware and workforce upskilling. With access to technical documentation, identification of device location, and the ability to initiate repair, replacement or service as needed, organizations gain maintenance and turnaround planning efficiencies

Manufacturing Cloud delivers a level of business visibility and collaboration between the sales and operations organizations of a manufacturing company. This is intended to allow them to have a better view of their customers through sales agreements and account-based forecasting solutions, providing visibility into their customer interactions while enabling them to generate sales forecasts.

iQ PULSE is LEC’s smart metering technology that is designed to integrate with a variety of existing meters in order to simplify AMR deployments. The solution is inclusive of a cellular endpoint, as well as software that provides data analytics, alarming and billing integration capabilities.

In this version, iSID analyzes the OT network and maps the operational business processes of the industrial facility. All business processes on the OT network are then graphically displayed, while each network-connected asset now includes the details of the business processes that each is connected to within the asset inventory maintained by iSID.

AsteRx SBi is designed for integration into any machine monitoring or control system. Location and 3D orientation data is streamed with constant low latency.
