Parker Hannifin: Why Right Sizing Matters

The threat posed by cyber-attacks is highly problematic in the face of old systems and their data connections which lack their own protection mechanisms. This is where HARTING comes in with its MICA Edge Computer.
January 31, 2023 By Krystie Johnston The Lafert Group was founded in 1962, in San Donà di Piave, just outside of Venice. This area, called Veneto, is known as a region of hands and brains. It is here that the company began producing asynchronous electric motors, committed to the finest quality on the Italian market….
Robotic solutions can dramatically sharpen your competitive edge as a manufacturer, but they can also introduce more complexity into your operations. To address this issue, Omron has recently introduced their most full-featured machine automation controller to date that is ideal for complete robotic cells, high-speed motion systems, material handling, and multi-robot systems. Omron’s integrated robotic controller gives you the choice of 16, 32 or 64 controlled motion axes, the option to incorporate SQL database connectivity, and an easy way to support multiple connected robots. This article will look at how this solution works well for even the most complex applications.
Bedrock Automation, maker of the Bedrock® Open Secure Automation (OSA) system, has announced the availability of the fifth in its series of white papers supporting implementation of Open Secure Automation (OSA).
Within the industry, maintenance of machinery and plant is routine work. But not everyone is aware of how to minimize future costs and risks for downtime already from the start. Although it is so apparent! Everywhere in our society, machines are used for producing varying items, process materials, pump fluids, etc. These machines must be given the correct prerequisites to do the job for which they were designed.
With the help of ABB Ability Condition Monitoring services, the Ash Grove cement plant in Mississauga was able to maximize its operational uptime through predictive maintenance and continuous monitoring of drives.

Weidmüller’s scalable engineering software, u-control 2000, adapts individually to your requirements. And, the u-control is powerful, compact and fully compatible with Weidmüller’s I/O system u-remote. This article looks at what makes u-control the heart of your automation.
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are one of the main components of any automated system. A typical control system has inputs, outputs, controllers (i.e., PLCs), and some type of human interaction with the system, a human machine interface (HMI), for example.
