Top 5 Control Engineering content: December 11-17 2023

Control Engineering’s top 5 pieces of content over the past week include this year’s system integrator of the year winners, methods for improving efficiency through supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) automation, and variable frequency drives (VFDs).

1. Systems integrators apply technology to very human endeavors

As the workplace changes, the integration imperative persists and leads to innovation for the System Integrator of the Year winners.

2. The time is now for systems integrators

Labor and skills shortages justify increased automation; SIs occupy key position in today’s supply chains; SI Giants embrace the opportunities.

3. Improving efficiency through automation with SCADA

A steel pipe maker implements supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), manufacturing execution (MES) and statistical process control (SPC) at their facility to improve operations.

4. How digitalization’s growing role, impact is changing process manufacturing

Digitalization is changing manufacturing and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is going to help fuel those changes. See video.

5. Fundamentals of three-phase induction motors, variable frequency drives

This session is designed for technicians and engineers who want to understand the fundamental design, construction and operation of three phase induction motors and variable frequency drives (VFDs). Separate learning objectives follow for each section, though one quiz covers both topics.
