Allied’s “Ask The Expert” series taps into the experience and expertise of key thought leaders and subject matter experts from the more than 500 global suppliers they work closely with to bring customers solutions for their most challenging problems (and the daily ones, too). Today’s industrial facilities rely heavily on equipment and systems that often run continuously, in sensitive environments.
Networked automation with cloud computing: The efficient use of cloud services is increasingly developing into a decisive competitive factor in the industrial environment. The EK9160 IoT Bus Coupler establishes a direct connection between EtherCAT I/Os from Beckhoff and the Internet of Things (IoT) without any special control program. The coupler thus offers the simple and standardized integration of I/O data into cloud-based communication and data services.
Siemens Digital Industries Software can now deliver more seamless integration and data and process orchestration across the Xcelerator portfolio through an expanded strategic partnership with eQ Technologic (eQ). Building on the long relationship between Siemens and eQ, Siemens’ customers can now access the eQube Data as a Service platform to create digital threads connecting systems including Product Lifecycle Management (MLM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), Internet of Things (IoT), and other Information Technology (IT), Engineering Technology (ET) and Operational Technology (OT) solutions.
Industry moves fast. Outpace obsolescence with OMRON’s Sysmac Studio. Designed to empower operations from the edge to the cloud, it unifies automation by prioritizing safety and security. Built for today, ready for the future. Today, the factory floor faces pressure from suppliers, consumers, competition, and emerging technologies. Operation teams are looking to remain competitive while making resilience standard procedure. At the crux of resilience and a sustainable competitive advantage is confident decisions driven by data-based insight.
With the PDP67 modules, Pilz offers solutions for decentralised applications directly in the field. The modules have protection type IP67, meaning they are resistant to dirt and water. The decentralised modules optimise installation and wiring work. They save time, money and space in the control cabinet. As they are integrated into dirt and water-repellent IP67 housings, the PDP67 modules reliably ensure safety even in rugged industrial environments.
New aluDOOR (IP 66, IP 67, IP 69K) has built on ROLEC’s previous design successes and taken diecast aluminum industrial enclosures to the next level. At the heart of this evolution are important design details that stand out as crucial differentiators. Like ROLEC’s other diecast aluminum enclosures, aluDOOR is designed to go anywhere – on walls, machines, bulkheads – to suit a broad spectrum of industrial electronics applications.

This webinar presented by Beth Lessard and Keith Cordero will be highlighting three Panduit solutions that will optimize network equipment and cabling to ensure that your spaces are efficiently and properly managed to support ever-evolving business needs of today and beyond.

The Siemens SIMOVAC medium-voltage non-arc-resistant and SIMOVAC-AR arc-resistant controllers have a modular design incorporating up to two 12SVC400 (400 A) controllers, housed in a freestanding sheet steel enclosure. Each controller is UL 347 class E2, equipped with three current-limiting fuses, a non-load-break isolating switch, and a fixed-mounted vacuum contactor (plug-in type optional for 12SVC400). The enclosure is designed for front access, allowing the equipment to be located with the rear of the equipment close to a non-combustible wall.

Power is vital to production, and well-designed control cabinets are key. Allied Electronics & Automation offers a comprehensive collection of control cabinet solutions including PLCs, HMIs, contactors, miniature circuit breakers, terminal block connectors, DIN-rail power supplies, pushbutton switches, motor starters, overloads, power relays, industrial Ethernet switches and AC drives engineered to keep your operations running safely, reliably and efficiently.
