In the month of April, Control Engineering readers looked at articles about power monitoring, industrial automation and system integrators. Read more for coverage of these topics and more.
1. Anatomy of power monitoring device: How to design automation
Commercially available power metering devices/modules may fit your automation and control application, or you might want something different, which would better suit your customers’ needs.
2. Think again about the state of industrial automation in 2025
Research: “The State of Industrial Automation” is a spring 2025 report with a fresh look at industry trends and outlook. Watch for related coverage throughout the year.
3. How to mitigate automation risks with a system integrator
Consistent, high-quality automation project outcomes do not happen by accident. The system integrators behind them execute upon their own formalized, documented procedures and methodologies throughout a project’s progression.
4. How to integrate generative AI into industrial networking
The integration of generative AI in industrial networking is reshaping how security frameworks, such as IEC 62443, are implemented and maintained.
5. Single-pair Ethernet breaks down the limits of connectivity
Single-pair Ethernet (SPE) is a networking technology designed to provide Ethernet connectivity over a single set of twisted-pair copper wires instead of the traditional two pairs or more.
6. Machines-as-a-service in the time of tariffs?
With uncertainty looming over tariffs in the United States, some manufacturers are turning to machines-as-a-service to automate.
7. How to establish a futureproof industrial network with Single-Pair Ethernet
Single-Pair Ethernet (SPE) is revolutionizing industrial networking by enabling seamless Ethernet communication over a single twisted-pair cable.
8. Videos on new SCADA functionality: executive insights
At the 2025 ScadaFest by Trihedral, a Delta Group Co., Glenn Wadden, Trihedral president, Barry Baker, Trihedral vice president and president of the Trihedral U.S. division, and Devraj Sen, CTO, summarized a few advantages of VTScada by Trihedral.
9. Tackling tariffs with AI-enabled supply chain technology
Fictiv adds automations to tariff documentation and a team of experts to help manufacturers avoid expensive delays.
10. The ultimate guide to configuring multidimensional arrays in SCADA systems
Multidimensional arrays provide versatility in handling various types of data structures to analyze and optimize process systems using supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and human machine interface (HMI) systems.
