Natural gas providers must focus on their security posture & how to address cybersecurity threats to critical gas metering & data management infrastructure.

This certification, which Bedrock Automation has also achieved on its flagship BedrockT control system, means Bedrock users now have maximal assurance of process continuity during an EMP event.

For more than a decade, the company’s 305,000-square-foot production facility in Hammond, Wisconsin, had been experiencing voltage sags several times per year that disrupted its largest production line. To get a better grip on the voltage-sag problem, Loparex installed the Allen-Bradley i-Sense and i-Grid intelligent network system from Rockwell Automation on its largest coating line.

By Bernhard Erdl, PULS GmbH The fourth industrial revolution is extremely power-hungry. Due to increasing networking and continuous information exchange in production technology, power requirements as well as the importance of machine availability are ever increasing.

By Christoph Frodl, PULS Train travellers and commuters want one thing above all else from the railway: Reliability. This expectation is also passed on by the railway company to its suppliers, right through to the manufacturers of individual components, such as power supply units.

PULS offers a range of power supplies functioning with features that can cope with the requirements for material handling.
