This offering includes: optics, lighting, displays, mounting hardware and power supplies along with a wide range of IO-Link products which can be directly controlled by the SmartCamera.

By George Walker, Novotek Plans to integrate digitalization across the globe have led many governments to set-out initiatives to accelerate the rate of adoption over the next 10 to 20 years. This article explains why businesses should be looking to digitalize their systems sooner rather than later.

The vibration-proof terminal blocks feature a clamp to secure loose wiring and achieve a safe connection point. The front facing terminals provide a sight line and access for wiring.

These systems (a.k.a. micro, minor and major ingredient weighing or batching systems) can include supply bins, feeders, work platforms, automatic or manual bin refilling, raw material bag handling equipment, dust collection/control, batched material conveying equipment (pneumatic and mechanical) or transport totes, lot tracking and traceability, barcode scanning, and RFID scanning.

Designed specifically to allow industrial companies using process machinery to control and connect their machines to the Cloud, the Nimbus provides the opportunity for these companies to utilize operational data from their machines to plan maintenance, consumables replenishment, parts replacement and other ongoing tasks.

This DIN rail mount SSR offers power density up to 60 Amps at 40°C in a 45mm package and is a solid state relay capable of accepting output wires up to 3 AWG with an IP20 protection rating.

The unmanned cars and trucks can also be equipped with different smart devices according to demand, turning the vehicle into a courier vehicle, a mobile self-pickup station, a mobile coffee vending cart, etc., which can be applied to various new retail scenarios.

Suitable for applications that use closed-loop control, the PIC18 Q10 and ATtiny1607 MCUs are the CIPs that independently manage tasks required from the CPU.

By Stephany Romanow, Industry Consultant Because of the ever-changing business environment, O&G operators can no longer thrive, or even survive, by relying solely on yesterday’s technologies. They must reinvent themselves to be competitive within the marketplace and remain attractive to investors.

The Thermalert 4.0 is a smart, integrated sensor providing temperature measurement suitable for factory automation applications. The device offers a choice of optics for long and short focal distances, and an ambient temperature range of 68 °F to 185 °F (-20 °C to 85 °C)

Using this service is intended to provide customers the ability to monitor predictions and analyze details of an alert without needing to build their own data models or engineer their own solution.

Users can allocate energy consumption and costs to specific assets and the ABB Ability Electrical Distribution Control System helps them optimize power use by receiving data-driven insights and alerts via smartphone, tablet or PC.
