Choosing an industrial safety controller

Machine safety is often complex and daunting, but it can be more intuitive. An easy-to-use and flexible safety controller will make it much easier to get your system up and running quickly with minimal downtime and will allow you to expand and adapt to future needs easily. Here are five key features to look for […]

PC-based control in the sporting goods industry

Earning long-term customer loyalty in the sporting goods industry requires products that perform at the highest level, every time. From the manufacturers, this necessitates a significant amount of product testing prior to market introduction and quality control in manufacturing in order to ensure the highest level of quality. This is where Automated Design Corporation (ADC), […]

Industrial accelerometers for myriad applications

Industrial accelerometers and vibration transmitters from Machine Electrical Components (MEC) play a vital role in predictive or preventative maintenance and condition monitoring routines, for all forms of rotating shafts and machinery including pumps, fans and motors. Data can be captured locally or remotely using PLC, BMS or 4 – 20 mA input modules, while MEC’s […]

Assembly solution 4.0

The Flexim Open Automation System combines modularity, flexibility, reconfigurability and connectivity to meet the requirements of small production lots right down to individualised production. Developed by Italian start-up company, Smart Factory, the system consists of a basic machine module that can be extended as required with standard or customer-specific production modules and flexibly adapted to […]

Empowering a converged workforce

With the latest release of the PlantPAx distributed control system (DCS) from Rockwell Automation, industrial producers can create smarter, more productive and protected operations. The new system capabilities include a more intuitive design and the ability to see contextualised information from plant assets. These improvements help digitally transform process control operations – helping to enable […]

Seminars held on industry 4.0 for process automation

Beckhoff Automation and Eplan recently presented a series of breakfast training seminars around the country titled “Process 4.0”, with the aim of exposing process engineers, system integrators, plant planners and operators, and process automation enthusiasts to the next generation of process automation technology. Beckhoff MD Kenneth McPherson kicked off the Johannesburg event at the Fairway […]

All-round IP65 and IP66 protected HMI devices

Siemens has extended its family of all-round protected human machine interface (HMI) devices for machine-related, cabinet-free visualisation and automation. High-performance Simatic thin client PRO operator terminals with 15, 19 and 22 inch screen sizes and all-round IP65 degree of protection are new to the range. Like all devices in the PRO series, the new thin clients […]

Helping a utility optimise efficiency

Schneider Electric South Africa, the global specialists in energy management and automation, recently hosted a technology day in partnership with Eskom to showcase their newest technology, and highlight various solutions to help the utility optimise efficiency in their plants in the future. Key to the success of the day was understanding Eskom’s biggest challenges, as Schneider […]

New standalone RFID sensor

SICK Automation has launched the RFU650: a long-range read/write RFID device delivering compact, stand-alone RFID identification and traceability without requiring complex programming or separate external antennae. This rugged, affordable device with a typical sensing range of up to five metres can accurately distinguish between transponder tags on assembly parts, goods or packages, even when they are […]

Are MEMS accelerometers suitable for condition monitoring?

by Ed Spence, Analog Devices

Many highly integrated and easy to deploy condition monitoring products that employ a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) accelerometer as the core sensor are appearing on the market. These economical products help to reduce the overall cost of deployment and ownership and, in the process, expand the universe of facilities and equipment that can benefit from a […]
