By Mike Guilfoyle, ARC Advisory Group Digitally transformed organizations will be able to transition to and thrive in digital economies, making digital transformation a matter of not “if,” but “when.” Given that industrial digital transformation is necessary to remain viable and competitive, why are mistakes, false starts, and dead-end investments all too common?

AInnovation, dedicated to bringing AI to the industries of manufacturing, retail and finance, deploys various CV and other algorithms to its ManuVision platform, based on which, the Quality Assurance all-in-one Machines are provided to a range of customers in different industries like garment, motor, consumer electronics, helping to identify defective products. It

ISAGCA is organized into four general focus areas for cybersecurity including: Awareness & Outreach; Compliance & Prevention; Education & Training; and Advocacy & Adoption.

The PROGENY system provides plasma treatment at 13.56 MHz and accommodates all the common gases, like oxygen, nitrogen, and argon, with high process reproducibility and uniformity.

The VFD-SC series is the same cable as the standard VFD-C series; the addition of the shielded 16AWG signal pair allows the cable to be used with motors and drives requiring brake control or feedback from devices like temperature or position sensors.

The linear axis uses a H2W brushless linear motor BLDM-C08 to generate a continuous force of 26 lb [115.5 N] and a peak force of 78 lb [347 N] with a stroke length of 30 in [768 mm].

A sensitive flow measurement is needed to identify the installed flow characteristic online.

Stadtwerke Lohr am Main has been supplied with 39 GT pneumatic piston actuators and 13 CK modular electric actuators to be used at two municipal water works which supply the town of Lohr am Main, in Bavaria, and surrounding areas.

By Jonathan Wilkins, EU Automation An electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy into rotary kinetic energy, powering many diverse processes like a drive, fan, pump or conveyor belt. Each process requires a specific motor, with specialised characteristics for each unique function. This article explores the best ways of reducing costs related to running a motor.

Tripwire’s Industrial Appliance provides industrial organizations a one-box solution for gaining visibility into their operational technology (OT) networks through a passive asset discovery approach.

The Plantweb Insight Inline Corrosion application delivers field data from Roxar wireless corrosion transmitters, providing insight into instrument health and process corrosivity.

EXAIR’s Gen4 Two Outlet Selectable Voltage Power Supply allows users to choose input voltages of 115VAC or 230VAC. Two 5kV stainless steel output connectors can energize two static eliminators.

These DC-powered (10-30V or 15-30V) threaded-barrel sensors are IP67 rated and are available with 2m pigtail cable or quick-disconnect.

The Eclipse is suitable for critical applications for liquid and gas delivery, medical, analytical and industrial automation requiring fine resolution and repeatability. In addition, the design allows for custom flow profiles.

FX-3420 can support up to 768GB of memory, through multiple DDR4 2,666 MHz REG DIMM modules and comes with 12x SATA 3.5” hot-swappable disk drive bays.

The SPECTROMAXx is an OES line with more than 13,000 installations. The newest generation instrument features a more intelligent elemental analysis of incoming source materials, for in-process testing and traceability, and for final quality inspection.

By Stephen Armstrong, Freelance Industrial Writer With some DCS systems now decades old, system users often know they need to upgrade but find the task daunting given the cost and potential for disruption of operations while the new system is brought online.

Nocom comes to StratEdge from Samtec, where he served as a research and development process engineer. He is certified in Six Sigma Green Belt training, has 5S and RETC semiconductor training, and has developed numerous manufacturing tools and processes.

The Dematic Micro-Fulfillment solution can be installed in 12 weeks and in locations as small as 10,000 sq. ft. The design makes it possible to install in the back of existing retail locations, directly supporting online orders for consumers within a specific radius.

Capabilities let users fine tune scaling of I/O signals, adjust excitation levels, and calibrate the bridge. Universal output supports six ranges including 4-20mA, 0-10V and ±10V. Flexible power accepts a 9-32V DC supply at the terminals and a rail power bus option can supply multiple units from a single connection or establish redundant power.
