Applications for the PHS series are to be found across industrial, medical and transportation markets, and specific ones include robot joint angle control, motor drive units, 3D printers, rotary angle sensors, HAVC sensors, and shift-by-wire gearshift systems.

With this latest release, modules are provided to expand the range of applications possible with SMARTDAC+ systems. New functions include sampling intervals as short as 1 millisecond and the control and monitoring of up to 20 loops.

The CMS-700 energy monitor and control unit can integrate up to 96 sensors, which can be displayed and processed using the built-in web server, Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) or a Modbus Remote Terminal Unit (RTU).

SMAC electric grippers incorporate programmable speeds, positions and forces with data feedback. This makes them suitable for a range of positioning, measuring, and inspection applications.

The solid-state operation of the Lifeline 5 cable-pull switch offers an electronic, rope-monitoring system to compensate for thermal expansion and cable sag.

Kepware and Microsoft’s industrial IoT solutions integrate with the help of OPC UA. KEPServerEX can move industrial control data to the Azure cloud platform by utilizing both OPC UA and MQTT via the Azure IoT Gateway SDK and Azure IoT Hub.

OMEGA Engineering sponsored the Sim-City robotics team from Simsbury High School. The team ranked 19 out of the 68 teams in their division at the 4-day FIRST Robotics National Championship in St. Louis, Missouri from April 26 through April 29.

A magnetic flowmeter is a volumetric flowmeter, which does not have any moving parts and is ideal for wastewater applications or any dirty liquid.

The PIC32MK MC devices combine 32-bit processing with advanced analog peripherals such as a quad 10 MHz op amp, comparators and motor-control optimized Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) modules.

The GVC1000 is designed for a range of military and commercial applications - particularly vision computing, embedded training, 360° situational awareness and advanced digital mapping, as well as data-intensive intelligence

Designed for industrial and manufacturing applications where it’s necessary to monitor data to ensure goods don’t fall outside of acceptable parameters, the ultrahigh frequency (UHF) RFID Sensor Tags enable environmental condition monitoring throughout the shipping journey, for example, of temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals or perishable products packed with dry ice.

QualityWorX Vision, a data management and analytics platform that harnesses machine vision image data, is intended to enable manufacturers to improve and optimize their investments in machine vision inspection.

This series is targeted at the automotive, food & beverage, packaging, and power generation industries where the application doesn’t require more extensive agency compliance.

Prior to joining 3eTI, Iyer was vice president with at Honeywell Aerospace where he led international and domestic aerospace and defense programs. Before joining Honeywell, he served in the US Air Force for more than 17 years in several top leadership positions.

Lenze has joined forces with the IoT specialist ei3 to offer a combination of remote analysis and remote maintenance services. It is a white label product which means that there is no visible evidence of the ei3 brand, and the product appears under the name and logo of the OEM.

FCI’s FLT93 Switches are ideal for applications in many demanding process industries. They also used extensively chemical processing, food/beverage, mining/milling, oil/gas, pulp/paper, pharmaceutical and more.

When many of today's devices and fieldbuses were developed, Internet, Industrie 4.0 and Big Data were still unknown. Therefore these systems lack any security features for a direct networking, such as access protection with password or signed firmwareupdates. To make existing sites „Industry 4.0-fit“ MB Connect Line and Deutschmann Automation have developed the Secure Cloud Gateway mbXLINK.

With mbNETFIX presents MB Connect Line a new firewall that has been developed for use in industrial plants. It provides protection against external attacks and fulfills the special requirements of industrial communication such as segmentation, coupling of different networks as well as the control of communication on the packet level.

The core components of the new EDC are the 20m-high high-bay warehouse and the highly automated picking. The high-bay warehouse’s area of 4,500 square meters offers space for 6,500 pallets and around 120,000 warehouse containers and is operated fully automatically and in a paperless way, among others by employing RFID technology.

Transitioning from Manual to Automated Conformal Coating, by Michael Szuch, Nordson ASYMTEK and Optimizing the Plasma Treatment Process Prior to Conformal Coating to Eliminate ESD Induced Failures, by David Foote, Nordson MARCH, will be presented on Wednesday, May 24, 2017.
