These M12 interconnects were designed for factory automation, industrial control, test equipment, I/O connectivity, sensors and actuators, or any connectivity application where a screw down interface is necessary.

By Jonathan Wilkins, EU Automation The rapid pace of change in North American manufacturing is causing a dramatic increase in the servitization of products. The reason for this spike? Sensors.

The BB-400 NeuronEdge combines Brainboxes IO and serial connectivity with a range of network connections to allow data to flow to the application of choice. The design uses a Raspberry Pi Compute module and an Arduino to provide edge processing.

The FAC-S Analog Output Sensor and FAC-R Frequency to Analog Converter also offer Bluetooth connectivity and analog output options when interfacing with AW-Lake Flow Meters and other instrumentation.

PMPlanR is a standalone Preventative Maintenance Planning Software Application. PMPlanR allows users to “Build Your Plant”. Each Plant consists of Areas, Machines and Assets.

Devices featuring this service are designed to ensure compatibility with Microsoft Azure IoT, and make deployment of AIoT and cloud-connected networks easier to set up and use.

The software delivers production information from any FactoryTalk application to operators wherever they are in a facility. Operators can customize the way information is delivered to any device (fixed or mobile), user or location.

By Bill Lydon, Automation.com Suppliers either adapt with technology, or they lose customers and die. This is true in every industry. The industrial and process automation industries will be no exception.

There are four methods of heat transfer in most industrial pipeline situations. Each involves significantly different methodology and calculations.

The integration between Skybox and Indegy is intended to provide customers with visibility of their IT and OT networks. The combination of Indegy’s passive and active data collection from the OT network is relayed to Skybox where OT assets, services and vulnerabilities are modeled alongside those from the IT environment.

The competition involved 56 students from 20 universities in North America remotely using AVEVA’s industrial simulation software platform, SimCentral, to solve a challenge: design, optimize and operate a process to produce dimethyl ether—a gas that can be used as automotive fuel—for electric power generation and in domestic applications such as heating and cooking.

Geared towards end users in crane and material handling applications, the regenerated energy from one VFD in a lift application is used by another VFD to drive other motors in the system.

The three-year collaboration combines the power applications and networking capabilities of Emerson’s Ovation automation platform with Vayu’s cloud-computing wind energy optimization technology.

The installed ABB technology will generate enough power to cover on sunny days 100 percent of the factories` power requirements.

As an independent supplier of solutions for industrial communication and the Industrial Internet of Things, HMS has an insight into the industrial network market. Here are some of the trends they see within industrial communication in 2019.

The development means that the HARTING Quality and Technology Center (HQT) will be able to test inter-car cables under realistic conditions in the future.

The T840 offers a display and an integrated viewfinder to help electrical utility, plant managers, and other thermography professionals find and diagnose failing components in any lighting conditions.

ADLINK’s 1U Edge Computing platform MECS-6110 provides all I/O front access, dust prevention, operation temperature for supports of telecom feature, installation environment restrictions, capability of system architecture evolution, and dual full-height full-length (FHFL) PCIe expansion slots reserved for access to acceleration hardware (GPU/FGPA).

The union with TRIMAX is intended to provide opportunities for TESCO to increase its water/wastewater market share in Southern California and gain entry to additional industries served by TRIMAX.

The design of the CRASH-CAL system integrates MB’s own Model CAL25AB air bearing shaker, together with its Model 407-8X multi-channel signal conditioner; MB 500VI power amplifier; and Win475 CRASH-CAL software, facilitating the simultaneous calibrations of up to eight piezoresistive accelerometers
