Over the past year, I’ve spent a lot of time speaking with manufacturers about their digital transformation projects. They all have very different stories to tell because their application needs are distinct. But whether it’s a food manufacturer, a beverage producer, an automaker or a machine builder, they all have one thing in common: The… The post Engineers emboldened by digital transformation community appeared first on Design World.
Common questions about the distinctions between PLCs and SCADA systems, their integration, and the differences between SCADA and Distributed Control Systems.
The amount of activity in the robotic sector continues to amaze me. Companies continue to exploit the power of partnerships to extend applications rather than trying to invent it all themselves (most companies don’t have that sort of funding to invest in extensive R&D). This news brings Comau, a Stallantis company, and RoboDK, a spinoff from the CoRo laboratory at ETS University of Montreal.

Despite concern about robotics and artificial intelligence causing mass layoffs, workers tend to warm up to advanced automation when it’s a clear help, rather than a hindrance. Proper preparation about automation helps workers more easily see the benefits.
The 5 th annual Eclipse Foundation IoT and Edge Commercial Adoption Survey actually holds few surprise but shows ongoing trends of investment. I’m not sure if it is good news or worrisome that the C-suite seems to be more involved. These people hold the purse strings, but they also usually hold unrealistic expectations (oversold by engineers?) about the eventual benefits of technology adoption.
RoboticsCareer.org has been redesigned to help people find careers in manufacturing. Source: ARM Insitute The Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing, or ARM Institute today said it has added capabilities to RoboticsCareer.org, its resource for robotics careers in U.S. manufacturing. The institute said they will provide guidance to help students and workers understand training and job opportunities and plan their careers.

Image: Pilz Australia For efficient production, it should be possible to seamlessly integrate safety concepts into machine concepts. That is why the configurable safe small controller PNOZmulti 2 from Pilz supports the open communication system EtherCAT in combination with the safe protocol Safety-over-EtherCAT FSoE (= FailSafe over EtherCAT). As a result, PNOZmulti 2 enables the transfer of both control and safety-related information, thereby achieving efficiency in production.
