Metric Vs. AWG Size Conductors
In a white paper released recently, ABB revealed that smart energy management systems can help facility managers reduce energy consumption by up to 45 percent. In “The new era of energy management,” ABB explains the multiple benefits of utilizing smart energy management systems that leverage new digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and the Internet of Things (IoT). These technologies are paving the way for greater efficiency and higher cost savings while ensuring sustainable operations.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Technology has been making great strides in expanding the capabilities that manufacturers have in Traceability. Due to its industry-proven, robust, short, and long-range design to identify, track, and trace products and carriers, RFID offers solutions beyond optical barcode reading. It can also be easily integrated into automation platforms using standard Network protocols like EtherNet/IP.
Jujo Thermal selected ABB to upgrade its drive control system at its mill in Kauttua, Finland, for improved runnability and efficiency. ABB’s scope of delivery included the provision and commissioning of the upgrade package for the existing PM2 drive control system and new drives. Jujo Thermal is one of the world’s major suppliers of durable, direct thermal papers for labels, tickets, tags and point-of-sales use. It also generates one-side coated self-adhesive label stock and has a production volume reaching 72,000 tons per year.
For a period beginning in the late 1990s, Windows CE was a popular choice as a lightweight operating system for industrial control automation platforms. Now, with the industrial internet of things (IIoT) revolution upon us and new generations of embedded technologies available and rapidly emerging, many end users are in search of a path forward for their legacy systems such as those based on Windows CE. If you can relate, the good news is there are options!
The three-member team of GSA Elektrotechnik approaches their projects with much enthusiasm and joy. This includes finding and using new products such as the new RiLine Compact that was used for the first time for a heat recovery system.
The vision of TESVOLT plc is to store the electricity generated by wind, solar, and hydropower plants in a way that enables it to be continuously available. This is made possible thanks to the innovative battery storage systems developed and realized by the company. To wire their systems, TESVOLT relies on HELUKABEL cables, which adhere to all necessary standards and international approvals and ensure the reliable and efficient transmission of data. With the expansion of new and renewable energy, sufficient production is not the only challenge. This energy also needs to be stored.
