By Jonathan Wilkins, EU Automation Simulating the factory can help fix mistakes and improve production. This article explains how VR and AR can be used in the factory to improve safety and increase productivity.

his addition to the Thomson website enables design engineers and system integrators to zero in on the right bearings for their applications in mere minutes.

In recognition of the sixth annual National Forklift Safety Day on June 11, Yale is offering online resources to highlight the safety features of its lift truck power, robotics and telemetry solutions.

The five-day event provides an educational atmosphere for attendees and exhibitors to share experiences, challenges, research, concepts and theory.

The NECSTL, headed by Prashant N. Kumta, PhD, focuses on energy conversion and storage, including rechargeable battery systems. Malvern Panalytical’s Empyrean X-ray Platform, a multipurpose diffractometer, will be used in the lab to identify solid-state materials by determining their internal structure, composition and phase while they are in use.

Antaira Technologies’ INJ-0200G-60-24-T is an industrial high-power IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector backwards compatible with previous IEEE 802.3af/at standards. By utilizing multiple pairs of pins on the RJ45 cable, this industrial grade PoE injector is capable of providing up to 60 Watts of power to end devices

Th twin distributor features 3 and 5 gold-plated contacts rated up to 7A at 250V (5A at 125 V). The twin distributor is also a splitter, the solution for splitting off a connection with two protected paths.

. The intelligent bearing detects wear and sends a signal to the user if the bearing threatens to fail. Maintenance work can therefore be planned, and operators of agricultural machines, for example, are not surprised during harvest season with an unanticipated breakdown and work stoppage.

Maintenance is as important as the selection & implementation of an industrial system. It's not an extra cost, but is an inherent price of this technology.

The IoT Gateway is designed to assist organizations in meeting business objectives and revenue goals by providing access to production information to reveal operational insights and gain business intelligence.

This report provides an executive-level view of CIMdata's comprehensive analysis of the PLM market, with summary charts on the overall market and on specific PLM solution segments (including the chart below).

Under the terms of this memorandum of understanding, the two industry leaders plan to leverage Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform, and SuperMap’s GIS software and application platform to define new experiences for customers.

The strategic partnership ensures a new range of Thorn and Zumtobel luminaires offering control to users via Casambi’s BLE software control platform.

Bruce Tompkins has been named President. Alex Baker has been named Chief Operating Officer. Mike Pujda has been named Vice President. These additions are a direct result of the company’s growth.

By Kevin Conlin, Kaman Precision Products To get the most out of eddy current sensors, follow these tips for reducing errors that can affect a measurement’s accuracy. Pay attention to circuit selection, placement, calibration and mounting.

The task was to measure the wear on the power rail to ensure it was not worn beyond the conductor rail. This would cause a loss of connection and stuttering of the train, which in turn leads to disruptions and an uncomfortable ride for commuters. Previously, the track bed geometry was checked through visual inspection by the operator.

Chipkin has developed a custom driver for the CAS HTTP JSON Gateway (CAS 2700-79) which allows it to poll for values in JSON payloads over HTTP or HTTP(s).

Webalo 5.1 brings functionality to support frontline workers in energy, food and beverage, manufacturing, mining, oil & gas, transportation and other industrial segments

Protolabs uses direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) technology—which is ISO 9001 and AS9100D-certified—to 3D print metal production parts. Once parts are built, several secondary options like post-process machining, tapping, reaming, and heat treatments are possible, and quality control measures like powder analysis, material traceability, and process validation are taken.
