WIKA’s family of robust products with IO-Link – pressure, temperature, and flow sensors – enable the remote monitoring and process control of intelligent machines in smart factories.

So, you need a process controller… now what?  How do you go about making a selection that you will be confident in that is optimized for your specific application?  There is no shortage of options available as you make your way through the process, and it’s difficult to know what features to prioritize, especially when faced with a tight budget.

Don't wait until it's too late, Kyntronics' actuators can help prevent disasters and improve your bottom line.

“Remote I/O”, that term does not have quite the same meaning as it once did.  For the longest time, remote I/O only referred to a system where the I/O node was located somewhere other than in the main control cabinet that housed the PLC.

Despite the barriers that stand between the United States and a mature hydrogen economy, the path is slowly becoming clearer. This 17-question test will reveal where your company is on this journey.

Permeation and embrittlement are issues that stand in the way of realizing a viable and mature hydrogen infrastructure. For pressure and temperature sensors, using materials that protect against these conditions is key to safety and profitability in the chemical industry.

Valin and Mitsubishi Electric are joining forces to bring the latest automation solutions to our customers in Arizona.  On board the mobile showroom you will see the latest technology in PLCs, drives, CNCs, motion control, HMIs, energy monitoring and management, industrial robots, and connectivity for MES and ERP applications.

Leak detection in power plants is critical. Unfortunately, there are many plants in operation today that do not have a sufficient detection system in place at their location for costly leaks.

Hydrogen is key to decarbonization – in the chemical industry as well as for developed nations. However, while it is relatively easy and cheap to produce, pure H2 is notoriously difficult to transport and store. Most methods require high operational and/or energy costs.

The answer might not be so obvious when deciding to use pre-engineered “Cartesian Robots” versus more modularly designed gantries.
