Digitalization with TSN, functional safety, edge computing, APL Ethernet, 5G
Industrial digitalization can involve many hardware, software and networking technologies, including these five.
Scaling machine learning for the manufacturing masses
Enabling access to machine learning algorithms in easy-to-use advanced analytics applications accelerates insights in process data. A specialty chemical manufacturer used ML tools to predict over 90% of quality deviations and save more than $500,000 per year in quality downgrades.
Choosing linear servo motors for the right application
There are several types of linear servo motors and knowing the strengths and weaknesses of each, along with the application they’re best-suited for, is critical.
