The official launch of the Smartflower Microgrid (MG) marked another milestone for the future of green technology in Saskatchewan. The Saskatoon Industry Education Council (SIEC) and Siemens Canada welcomed dignitaries and guests to a launch event at Bishop James Mahoney High School in Saskatoon.
Manufacturers’ data sheets often only give blanket information on efficiency and power losses of their power supplies at different mains voltages or loads. Therefore, it is advisable for users to measure the efficiency of a power supply themselves. In this blog article you will learn what you should pay attention to.
Many businesses of all sizes turn to robots for the purpose of enhancing precision, speed, and consistency while minimizing expenses and downtime. However, many of them – particularly the smaller enterprises – are initially unsure of whether the payoff will be worth it. Omron provides a variety of robots to meet the specific needs of their customers.
The way we generate power has been undergoing a radical shift over the last few years as our attention has turned more and more toward decarbonization, primarily using solar and wind power on a large scale. For these renewable technologies to be efficient and cost effective, the intermittency supply with solar and wind must be dealt with.
True North Solutions is proud to announce that their organization has been named one of the 2022 Best Workplaces for Mental Wellness. The Best Workplaces for Mental Wellness list is based on direct feedback from employees, who are surveyed by Great Place to Work.
A popular trend that is growing in the US market is the use of ferrules, also known as end sleeves, to terminate single and multi-conductor wires, e.g. in the terminal blocks within a machine’s control panel. For US equipment manufacturers that export to Europe, using ferrules is a requirement to receive CE certification so that a company can do business within the European Union.
Maintaining wastewater treatment plants is essential to meeting the critical need for clean water. In the United States alone, about 34 billion gallons of wastewater is processed each day. Much of this can be attributed to increasingly stringent, but environmentally necessary, government regulations.
Power is vital to production, and well-designed control cabinets are key. Today, virtually every industrial application spanning the food & beverage and chemical processing industries to the oil & gas, power generation, product manufacturing, and wastewater treatment industries relies on critical — and often sensitive — powered electronic systems.
Palletizing and depalletizing machines tend to be large and have several zones of control. They must also accommodate products of numerous different shapes and sizes. These factors create challenges when safeguarding these machines.
Palletizing solutions are mission-critical components for end-of-line packaging operations at manufacturing plants around the world. They can range from lightweight – food, beverage, consumer packaged goods – to heavyweight, such as bulk goods like concrete bags.
Facing unprecedented low unemployment figures, manufacturers of all sizes are struggling to fill repetitive and undesirable manufacturing jobs. With the help of the Section 179 tax deduction, US businesses may be able to significantly stretch their use-it-or-lose-it 2022 budgets and purchase collaborative robots to take on the repetitive manufacturing tasks that workers don’t want.
As part of its plans to acquire 4,000 MW of new electricity supply, the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) is recommending to the Minister of Energy that Ontario make a significant investment in battery storage, balanced by natural gas and other forms of non-greenhouse gas emitting generation to ensure reliability and affordability.
Human-centric manufacturing puts a high requirement for safety in production because machines work closely with human operators. Unlike traditional industrial robots that are physically separated from human operators, cobots are designed to work side by side with humans. This leads to a significantly higher requirement for safety.
Smart Technology is rapidly evolving, especially in the automation and engineering space. This can make it difficult for professionals and aspiring engineers to be adequately prepared throughout their careers. Festo Didactic developed the program to holistically teach students robot safety.
Health and Safety (H&S) have always been one of Sonepar’s top priorities. However, the tasks regarding inspection procedures and incident reports have a reputation for being inconvenient and inefficient.
Hygiene or environmental protection? Preferably both. Companies in the consumer goods industry are increasingly asking themselves what alternatives they have to plastic packaging and how they can act greener, more efficiently, and yet still safely. Innovative packaging lines, robotics and artificial intelligence offer support.
