Manufacturing IT, MES
Integrate new technologies, MES software
Integrating Industry 4.0 and manufacturing execution system (MES) software can increase revenues, create faster turnarounds, improve quality for manufacturers.
How to select the right free-standing industrial enclosure
When selecting industrial enclosures for electronics, process controls, power systems, and other business-critical equipment, ensure protection from water, dust, corrosive liquids and other contaminants. Also provide security and climate control to help ensure a long service life and high reliability of what’s enclosed, according to a company with a Control Engineering Engineers’ Choice Award product.
Industrial servers: Easy to deploy, manage, support with hot-swapping components
Run business-critical workloads in a control room, local data center or edge environment using continuously available industrial servers, according to a company with a Control Engineering Engineers’ Choice Award product.
Key deciding factors to select the right IT server rack for an application
An information technology (IT) server rack is no longer a simple commodity. Look at environment, hardware and number of installations. Invest once and adapt as needed to get the features, functionality and engineering to provide long-term value, according to a company with a Control Engineering Engineers’ Choice Award product.
Safety concerns and supply chain disruption
Also, while electrical safety is a prime concern, trips, slips and falls tend to be the biggest hazard.
Beware of accidental convergence
Information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) teams must find common ground to eliminate the substantial risk factors of both planned and accidental IT/OT convergence.
Convergence or overlap? Understanding the IT/OT relationship
With the increasing number of industrial systems connected to the internet, operational technology (OT) is vulnerable to cyberattacks and stands to benefit from information technology (IT) experience.
Center for optoelectronic, quantum technologies
The National Science Foundation (NSF) will fund an endeavor at the University of Washington to bring atomic-level precision to devices that will transform the IT industry for decades to come.
Connected automation has failed the first rule of cybersecurity (or what Brad Pitt taught me about industrial cybersecurity)
Not so long ago, these industrial control systems (ICS) assets were deployed on separate isolated networks and fell out of the information technology (IT) cybersecurity scope. That's no longer the case.
How IT/OT convergence starts with understanding
Converging information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) is challenging, but a deep OT dive can help both sides learn a lot about their respective networks and create understanding.
