How to protect marine renewable energy devices from cyberattacks
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) created a cybersecurity guidance report for marine renewable energy (MRE) devices to help improve MRE’s resiliency as a reliable source of renewable energy.
System integration award winners announced
The Control System Integrators Association (CSIA) named winners for leadership, integrator member, partner member and more in their 2021 ceremony.
Leveraging the 5G network to wirelessly power IoT devices
Turning 5G networks into a wireless power grid for Internet of Things (IoT) devices that need batteries to operate could eliminate them altogether down the road.
Energy management for industrial networks
Automation components consume a large amount of energy during production and can strain industrial networks' ability to run properly.
How MEMS actuators power emerging applications
Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) actuators transform electronic signals into something that can be sensed or touched by the end user and create an immersive environment.
Standardizing the delivery, performance of system integrators
Automation system integrators contractors can provide a central point of coordination and responsibility for all aspects of an automation project.
The advantages of the IIoT
Industrial Internet of Things doesn’t replace, but works together with automation, human-machine interface (HMI), MES, ERP, enterprise manufacturing intelligence (EMI), and analytics, adding benefits.
Operational technology: Data acquisition, data architectures, data analytics
Using Big Data for operational technology (OT) automation and control applications is increasingly important and can be a bewildering journey if the right questions aren’t asked. See four elements of data analytics system architecture.
Six steps for supporting an automation system
There’s nothing revolutionary in this six-step process; however, it is a workable model for helping to find, analyze and correct system issues.
The value in turnkey manufacturing
While more expensive initially, turnkey manufacturing offers more long-term advantages over using independent contractors. System integrators can help.
