The IP rating indicates to what extent an electrical device is protected against the penetration of foreign objects and moisture. In this blog post, you can find out which IP codes there are, what the differences are between them and what you need to pay attention to when choosing a power supply.
As technology advances, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) have emerged as valuable tools for improving efficiency and productivity in various industries. From warehouses to manufacturing facilities, these intelligent machines are revolutionizing the way manufacturers handle tasks and streamline operations. However, deploying AMRs successfully requires careful planning and consideration. In this blog post, let’s explore some common mistakes that people make when implementing autonomous mobile robots in their facilities and provide insights on how to avoid them.
The WAGO IoT Box is the perfect solution for connecting new and existing systems. Integrating machines and systems into the “Internet of Things” is incredibly simple with WAGO’s IoT Box. The complete system is ready for immediate use and offers all the functions required for digitalization from signal acquisition to cloud connectivity. The IoT Box was designed as a plug-and-play device – no hardware engineering is needed. Collected data is transferred to the desired IoT application with just a few parameter settings.
Omron Automation Americas recently announced the launch of a new Innovation Award that recognizes customers who champion automation solutions that promote sustainability, enhance quality of life, and reduce the environmental impact. This initiative recognizes excellence in industrial automation and technology-based solutions addressing social needs. It also supports businesses in attracting the next-generation manufacturing workforce.
Backfeeding is a physical process that is highly desirable in many applications, such as electric vehicles, for the purpose of energy recovery. However, in an industrial setting, backfeeding can be a problem and lead to costly system downtimes if the power supply units fail. In this blog article you will learn how power supply data can help you to identify those backfeeding events and take measures.
The smart home and intelligent building sectors are evolving, and the Continental Automated Buildings Association (CABA) is responding. CABA is proud to announce their name change to the Association for Smarter Homes & Buildings, or ASHB. “Our new name better reflects today’s smart home and intelligent building industries and our vision for the future,” says the association’s Board Chair Brian Ensign from Superior Essex Communications.
The food processing industry has embraced automation, and indications are that its adoption in the food and beverage industry is expanding rapidly. According to a robotics report by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), in 2021, “the food and beverage industry installed 25% more robots, reaching a new peak level.” A reason for this growth, the report suggests, may be that the robotics industry offered hygienic solutions, which were in demand during the Covid-19 pandemic.
WECO has reliably served the electrical market for more than a century. The company originated in Germany in 1921 and was born in the decades that saw electricity adopted into the daily lives of most businesses and homes across North America and much of the world. Technological advances at the time presented opportunities for the company to mature on a global scale, offering electrical connection solutions for countless applications.
Integrating autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) into your facility can optimize materials transport thanks to the robots’ ability to navigate autonomously, adapt to changing environments, and perform a range of tasks. However, successful AMR implementation requires careful consideration of several key factors: space analysis, floor conditions, and environmental factors, among others.
