Master-Follower Configuration: Precision Control with Encoder-Based VFD Synchronization
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are the backbone of modern and legacy industrial systems, managing tasks from powering fans and compressors to enabling intricate robotic operations. For more complex industrial operations, the need for precise coordination between drives escalates.
Mitigating Project Risks through Front-End Loading for Control System Migrations
FEL is all about minimizing the risk: The cost risk, the schedule risk, and the scope risk for any capital undertaking. Early in a project, the cost impact of changes is low, but it increases, often drastically, in later stages.
Edge Computing and AI in Manufacturing
With Tacton we wanted to give users the flexibility and configuration options they need to outfit their facility, while ensuring the system was reliable, secure, and easy to install.
BOOSTING PANERA BREAD'S EFFICIENCY WITH CIMON'S PLC AND HMI SOLUTIONS
The initiative aimed not only to streamline operations but also to fit seamlessly within the limited space of retail restaurants, a challenge in the bustling food service industry.
The Role of Industrial PCs (IPCs) In Today's Smart Factories
The harsh conditions of factories such as extreme vibrations that may cause screens to crack, drastic changes in temperature and humidity levels, and physical debris have shown us that standard computing devices simply fall short in industrial environments.

As industries adopt data-driven operations, there is increased demand for advanced technologies. These technologies maximize the potential and returns on investment in industrial automation systems.
From Ready-Made Motion Code to Built-In Diagnostics, Unitronics 'Servo Made Simple' Increases Profit - By Saving Time.
Say goodbye to complexity-you can now benefit from Plug-and-Play integration, and remotely commission, configure, program, run, and troubleshoot your motion control systems. Meet Servo Made Simple from Unitronics.
Why Combining Your HMI & PLC Is the Smarter Move
While PLCs control mechanisms, electronics, and other low-level devices, HMIs empower operators with visualization and touch controls. Together, HMIs and PLCs pave the way for efficient and flexible industrial workflows.
Linux-based Software for Automation
Linux has a lot to offer the automation industry. It is a stable and scalable alternative to Windows operating systems that allows for arguably greater connectivity between devices and systems.
Understanding the Common Vulnerability Scoring System
The common vulnerability scoring system (CVSS) provides manufacturers a way to assess the principal characteristics of a vulnerability and produce a numerical score reflecting its severity.
Control & Automation with Vision™ V700 for Packaging & Bagging Systems
When a major producer and packager of balanced feed for livestock such as poultry, swine, and horses, house pets, and fish farming needs turned to them for a an efficient, fast, and reliable packaging solution, IGCP Engineering turned to Unitronics.
What is the definition of "PLC"?
A Programmable Logic Controller, or PLC, is a ruggedized computer used for industrial automation. These controllers can automate a specific process, machine function, or even an entire production line.
Effect of PCI Devices on Automation Systems
Industry 4.0 is changing systems architecture across all domains in industrial automation. Upcoming edge computing architectures use virtualization for scaling dedicated applications with deterministic key performance indicators (KPIs) on a heterogeneous operating systems.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
