In today’s world of manufacturing, there is a new convergence happening. A greater number of available technologies are meeting the dynamics of changing workforces, fragile supply chains, and the ever-present market demand for better and cheaper products and services. However, manufacturers still face a unique challenge: how to maximize investments in various technologies to achieve the most impactful ROI or as we like to refer to them, “enablers of change”.

Share. Maintenance is valued, but aging equipment puts pressure on plants. Maintenance systems and strategies continue to slowly transition to a digital process, with greater use of technology to evaluate machine health and develop repair and maintenance schedules. But it’s a race against time. Aging equipment is the single biggest factor in unscheduled downtime, and equipment failure is a close second.

Considered the most simple motor start option, Direct on Line (DOL) starting directly connects an induction motor to a 3-Ph power supply with the addition of a contactor and an overload relay , providing overload protection. . This direct connection can cause the motor to draw 5-8 times the normal operating current, making DOL motor control generally applicable with motors under 5 hp/4Kw.

Industrial control systems (ICS) help manufacturers boost productivity, optimize efficiency and advance production lines. Historically, ICS networks were isolated from the information technology (IT) networks and internet, or “air gapped.” Today, air gapping is no longer an effective security strategy, and for various business reasons, many ICS manufacturing networks are now integrated with IT networks and connected to the internet.

Hot, cold, corrosive – these environments, and more, inherently require a little extra care when it comes to planning labor and tasks. The same goes for introducing any automated technologies. After all, you need them to operate correctly and avoid any unnecessary damage. Often pulled in to support tasks that need to be reliably repeatable, industrial robotics are an excellent option to support safer work in unique environments.

IT systems are increasingly becoming more intelligent, networked and autonomous. This digital transformation not only makes a company’s internal processes more efficient and transparent, it has a positive effect across the entire horizontal and vertical value chains. A key aspect of digitalisation is the ability to collect and process data in real time.
