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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

By Rick Delgado, Freelance Automation Writer Threat hunting is becoming more and more popular in the business industry. When it is done correctly, the concepts, processes and strategies are of critical importance to the security of an organization.

Smart Industry Solutions India from 13 – 15 December 2017 in Mumbai will target end-to-end solutions that will address the needs of smart manufacturing. This new exhibition format will cover future factory, automation systems, technology and solutions, as well as hydraulics & pneumatics.

The system uses Standard ATE Production IC Test Systems at DA-Integrated along with Rohde & Schwarz's R&S ZVA 67 GHz Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) to create a volume production test system capable of handling RF & millimeter wave integrated circuit devices.

The AS7261 JENCOLOR XYZ sensor is a complete platform for color sensing, intended to ease design-in and simplify production processes for manufacturers of professional or consumer colorimeters and color analysers.

The optoNCDT 2300-2DR laser sensor is especially suitable for reflective and shiny targets. The sensor is for example used in thickness measurements of flat glass, distance measurements on annealed glass and assembly monitoring of small parts

These NS-Series NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certified valves (from GC Valves) are a choice for food and beverage grade potable water applications.

The solution, developed in collaboration with Intel and third-party logistics companies, provides real-time information about the location and condition of critical freight while in transit. The solution was introduced during Honeywell Safety and Productivity Solutions’ launch event.

The competition – created to recognize and reward the high levels of innovation in the packaging industry – was split into five categories: ease of use, modular machines, smart machines, sustainability, and traceability and product safety.

By Johannes Petrowisch, COPA-DATA Today, advancements in connectivity and the introduction of cloud computing are making monitoring industrial environments a lot more sophisticated. As we enter the era of the smart factory, this article will discusses the benefits of cloud computing for the manufacturing industry.
