System Integrators
System integrators are a good investment
Control System Integrators Association (CSIA) provided benchmarking factors to improve operational and financial performance, as well as recruiting and retention for engineering and technology personnel.
Laser-induced graphene process creates micron-scale patterns
Rice University researchers adapted its laser-induced graphene technique to make high-resolution, micron-scale patterns, which could benefit on-chip microsupercapacitors, functional nanocomposites and microfluidic arrays.
HMIs work in rugged, low-temperature outdoor applications
Recycling center upgrades baling machine to an outdoor-sunlight readable human-machine (HMI). Larger screens decreased number for used from six to three.
Five technologies that can help manufacturers evolve after COVID-19
There are many currently available technologies that can help keep manufacturers productive right away as everyone adjusts to the new normal.

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.
