Parker Hannifin: Why Right Sizing Matters

Energy Technology Perspectives 2023 highlights major market and employment opportunities, as well as the emerging risks, for countries racing to lead the clean energy industries of today and tomorrow. The energy world is at the dawn of a new industrial age – the age of clean energy technology manufacturing – that is creating major new markets and millions of jobs but also raising new risks, prompting countries across the globe to devise industrial strategies to secure their place in the new global energy economy, according to a major new IEA report.
Automation continues to revolutionize the modern world. It goes beyond industrial automation and Industry 4.0 to include the commercial and consumer domains. This is where the wider IoT plays by automating tasks that were once physical but are now increasingly electromechanical.
August 22, 2023 Motor contactors are electrical switches used as means of control, connecting or disconnecting electric motors and other load devices to the power supply. They are typically designed for normally open contacts, which ensures the load disconnects whenever the coil of the contactor de-energizes. Because this interrupts heavy motor currents, arcing must be…
With factories around the world jumping onto the IT bandwagon, IT engineers are on the lookout for products and solutions that allow them to easily connect their factory’s OT systems to IT networks. Although IT engineers are generally well versed in the various IT protocols used to transmit data across a network, they are less familiar the many OT protocols used in their factories.
March 31, 2023 The Problem Moving 68 Ton metal coils within a warehouse space requires raw power. Historically, this was only achievable by using large payload RGVs (Rail Guided Vehicles) with polluting combustion engines or environmentally damaging lead acid batteries. Factory and warehouse environments already have their share of harmful emissions. As a result, many…
