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.

An enhanced PID controller simplifies tuning and improves loop stability and reliability for loops dominated by discontinuous measurement updates.

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.

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.

The three-day class, from June 6-8, will focus on physics of flow and various flow measurement technologies available, along with a basic understanding of digital communications. The course will be a combination of classroom and hands-on training.

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.

The company will award free Extrovert 4G-equipped Logic Supply industrial computers to as many as five of the most exciting project proposals submitted to their "Be an Extrovert" contest.

The industrial routers mbNET, mbNET.mini and the remote service portal mbConnect24 now support the discovery facilities of different PLC systems, also over the Internet. The thinking behind these features is the ability of common programming systems to find existing controllers in the network without known or assigned IP address.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Using the TaskMaster infeed system with Braille module, cartons are fed, aligned, embossed, and transferred to the folder gluer all in one operation – at up to 1000 feet per minute. This unit can either run offline or be put directly in front of an existing folder gluer.

FCI offers a range of application solutions from off-the-shelf devices to custom-engineered systems. They combine flow measurement accuracy with a design that is compatible with caustic, corrosive, humid and high temperature environments.
