Leverage the Edge - the Benefits of Processing Data at the Edge, Not the Cloud
The edge is an essential layer of the manufacturing technology stack. Machines on the factory floor collect vast amounts of raw data from various sources using numerous protocols, which all needs to be processed quickly to gain actionable insight.
binder USA Adds 5- and 6-pin Versions of M8 Connector for Sensor-Actuator Applications
CAMARILLO, CA - October 4, 2021 - binder USA introduced 5- and 6-pin versions of its M8 snap-in circular connectors. Previously available in only 3- and 4-pin arrangements, the new versions increase the flexibility for use in a wider variety of applications. These cable connectors are ideal for signal transmission applications that are subject to space constraints, from industrial sensor and actuators to conveyor technology to drones.
binder's secure snap-in locking mechanism does not use any rotating elements, ensuring quick, simple, and efficient installation. Latching is confirmed with an audible clicking sound. IP65-level protection offers highly-reliable performance in harsh industrial environments.

Preventing Dust Explosions in Sugar Production and Handling
In facilities that handle or produce sugar, fines can accumulate in a number of areas. Then, when sugar is moved or disturbed, it is prone to become airborne, with ample exposure to oxygen in the air. Add any ignition source, and the combination can result in devastating explosions.
