1. Evaluate controller options for industrial applications
Choosing the best industrial controller requires evaluation of automation, communication and security needs.
2. Rethinking machine safety risk
The design phase of a project allows companies to reduce potential machine safety before it has a chance to manifest itself as a hazard and danger to workers.
3. 10 alarm management tips for the busy control engineer
Alarm management has been a great success for the process industry. Initial challenges have largely been met, but new challenges have emerged. Alarm management is most effective as an operations tool, not a safety tool.
4. Automated system generates robotic actuators
MIT researchers have developed an automated system that designs and 3-D prints robotic actuators, which are optimized and automatically created, which is almost impossible for a human to do.
5. Modern technologies solve industrial cybersecurity needs
Emerging condition monitoring software and devices have ingrained cybersecurity that helps bring legacy systems and processes into the modern era.
