Endress+Hauser Group, in keeping with its role as global leader in measurement instrumentation, is conducting an employee-led program to increase the participation of women at all levels in the company.
There re quite a few repetitive tasks in manufacturing. If all of these tasks must be performed manually, then a large number of a manufacturing company’s employees would be occupied with extremely mundane and tedious activities throughout the day.
Anyone who has been following the latest expert discussions on energy efficiency in machines and plants will have noticed that certain topics come up time and time again. The main examples are “variable frequency drives for optimum drive solutions” and “increasing efficiency in lowvoltage induction motors (EISA and NEMA Premium).”
Having an edge-connected factory allows you to access your data at anytime, on or off the factory floor. No more manual reports, no more wondering what’s happening on the factory floor while you’re away.
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.
If you’re like most industrial automation maintenance professionals, you’re trying to improve asset utilization to get more out of your company’s already-made investments, while reducing risks and costs.
IO-Link technology was created in response to three consecutive challenges. The first was the tendency of manufacturers to use whichever I/O system protocol they liked best, causing the devices to not “play well” with those of other manufacturers.
Launched in 2017, the initiative challenged Omron’s channel partners to further the company’s mission of improving lives and contributing to a better society by striving for accelerated growth.
In today’s competitive business environment, customization is key. Manufacturers in all industries are expected to provide a wide range of sizes, colors, styles and assortments, and they are finding it essential to implement flexible manufacturing strategies in order to stay competitive.
Having a workforce that’s well trained on current technologies and equipment is critical for any manufacturer. When workers lack necessary skill sets, they are more likely to make expensive mistakes that result in costly downtime.
Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) convergence in industrial operations is driven by the need for: better data visibility and utilization, full realization of system and software ROI, and enhanced cybersecurity.
What drives the requirement for accurate, high-quality labels? With so much hanging in the balance for manufacturers and retailers competing on a global scale, there’s no good reason to ignore the need for label quality.
Today, solutions for unstructured picking and placing of parts into machines are solely focused on the vision aspect, often requiring additional programming to bridge the gap from “pick” to “place” – especially if the “place” is not just dropping into a box but accurately inserting parts into fixtures for further processing.
Year after year, HANNOVER MESSE is the showcase for industry and a catalyst for future topics such as AI, sustainable production and 5G. As a purely digital event, this year’s HANNOVER MESSE served two roles.
