In the second part of our interview with Michael Knight, Corporate Senior Vice President of Strategy for TTI Inc., we look at robotics; how they are harnessing AI; and AI’s potential to improve the supply chain.
NOARK Electric has announced the compatibility of its M-Series molded case circuit breakers (MCCBs) with Rittal’s RiLineX 60 mm busbar system through specialized component adapters designed for modern panel-building applications. The integration combines NOARK’s high-performance circuit protection technology with RiLineX’s innovative “Universal” mounting platform to deliver faster assembly, enhanced flexibility, and simplified system design for panel builders and OEMs.
Michael Knight, Corporate Senior Vice President of Strategy for TTI Inc., recently spoke with PBUS contributing editor Barb Jorgensen about the drivers behind skyrocketing electronics component demand.
Many industrial processes require operation in locations where there may be hazardous gases, dust or fibers present in the atmosphere. Providing protection against this type of disaster can be accomplished by the design of specialized electrical equipment using proven design techniques or providing protection for the equipment by creating an environment void of these combustibles.

Without accurate current sensing, essential functions such as efficiency monitoring, protection, and closed-loop control become unreliable.
By: Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio, Contributing Editor at Panel Builder US. Conventional server infrastructure was not originally designed to sustain today’s extreme compute density requirements. As a result, modern facilities increasingly resemble “AI factories,” where maximizing computational throughput per rack is a primary objective.
Leveraging your power supply unit as a data source offers significant advantages for both operating companies and system manufacturers. By integrating power supplies with IO-Link or EtherCAT, users gain access to valuable real-time information.
ROI remains evasive as data centers thrive: executives agree that AI is everywhere, but unlocking its value is still uncertain. Barbara Jorgensen, Contributing Editor at Panel Builder US, sat down with Phil Gallagher, CEO, Avnet Inc. to discuss AI’s evolution, expanding data center demands, and the elusiveness of ROI in this space.
Combination of Molex VersaBeam EBO Backplane Connector and Teramount TeraVERSE detachable fiber connector boosts serviceability and slashes deployment time by 85%.
As it celebrates 40 years in the Chicagoland region, HARTING has recently announced a significant expansion of its Americas manufacturing operations, including Research and Development, reinforcing its long-term commitment to strengthening regional supply chain resilience. The company is investing across its Illinois headquarters and facilities, as well as expanding operations in Mexico, following 33% year-over-year growth in the Americas and 17% global growth.
Siemens has invested more than $165 million across North and South Carolina to support America’s rapidly accelerating AI and data center markets. The new and expanded sites directly support Siemens’ record levels of data center-related electrical equipment orders while also increasing the company’s US manufacturing capacity. These expanded facilities will enable faster production, assembly, and delivery of essential low and medium voltage products to customers. From protection and automation devices manufactured in Wendell, North Carolina, to busway systems produced in Roebuck, South Carolina, these solutions provide the electrical backbone needed to rapidly scale AI data centers and AI factories across the United States.
Voltage drop across long cable runs costs data centers energy, uptime, and money. Remote sensing in power supplies closes the feedback loop at the load, delivering precise voltage where it counts.
Data centers are evolving faster than ever — driven by rising energy demands, the push for sustainability, and the integration of AI and edge computing. To better understand how these shifts are shaping data center infrastructure, operations, and connectivity, Panel Builder US editor Garth Miller interviewed Pete Tecos, Director of Data Centers & New Energy,…
Explore why the future of large-scale computing now depends on pioneering new cooling technologies and how innovative motor control solutions are essential to addressing this power-density problem.
In industrial electrical systems, understanding short-circuit current ratings (SCCR) forms the foundation of a robust safety chain. Designing with SCCR values in mind empowers engineers to identify and strengthen the weakest links, preventing catastrophic breakdowns that could endanger equipment and personnel.
Barbara Jorgensen, Contributing Editor at Panel Builder US explores how U.S. tariffs have increased costs and demand for automotive control systems.
