Over the years, electricity has become a basic necessity, without which life as we know would simply become dysfunctional. In such conditions, the need for energy efficiency has become a top requirement across the industrial spectrum. When rising energy costs are coupled with uncertainty of available electricity, the result is increased relevance for the part of the business responsible for boosting efficiencies.
It is undeniable that machines have helped improve production efficiencies over a large variety of workspaces. However, at the same time, their moving parts, hot surfaces, and sharp edges have also increased the risk of serious injuries. Safeguards are therefore essential to ensure the maximum degree of protection for workers.
Proper lighting is a prerequisite in all types of industries in order to ensure smooth operation, regardless of the level of automation being employed within various processes. Banner Engineering offers a highly impressive range of LED light fixtures, tower lights, indicators & actuators that can enlighten workspaces with superior-quality illumination, unmistakable status indication, and maintenance-free operation.
Banner Engineering packs a highly impressive wireless products portfolio for providing top connectivity to & from remote assets to central stations. The hardware is designed to withstand harsh conditions, therefore making it ideal for difficult-to-access locations.
Advancements in sensory technologies are driving the packaging, quality control & track-and-trace applications to greater operational efficiencies. As the competition stiffens, more & more consumer-packaged goods companies are looking for ways to make their operation autonomous. Packaging machine builders are now meeting these demands by incorporating advanced sensing & communication technology.
The manufacturing process of many industries would come to a standstill without level sensors. From food to beverages to pharmaceuticals, measurements that were previously performed using large, mechanical devices can now be performed with advanced, slim and durable sensors. The spectrum of solutions available today has made it possible to use more than one technology to solve a sensing problem. However, there are some rugged applications where one technology stands out in particular. Historically, challenging substances for level sensing applications include foamy liquids, viscous fluids and granular solids. These three sensing applications are the hardest to tackle, yet vital to ensure throughputs are met in an efficient manner.
The need for security isn’t that apparent until part of your network or privacy is compromised. Network data security should always be a top priority when considering connectivity within a plant or to multiple sites. Security is highly important in the 21st century industrial sector as corporate espionage for sensitive inside information is becoming increasingly common.
Working with the water & wastewater industry in the fields of monitoring & control can be a challenge. Assets can be located at remote areas and be at risk from humidity, chemicals and other elements. Even though the accumulation & processing of all such data is difficult, making sure all communications remain online is extremely vital for continual operations.
Electrical construction, maintenance and repair work all involve a great deal of attention towards safe work practices. Industry electrical publications regularly highlight the various safety issues & their remedies, including the use of tools & equipment for energized & deenergized environments, as well as utilizing the correct personal protective equipment according to the situation.
Competent support throughout the entire lifecycle provides protection for worker and line alike. Click below to read the whitepaper.
Specific drive control requirements for test stands With an innovative and comprehensive safety technology and product portfolio, as well as competent support services in application engineering and field operations, today’s machine component suppliers must offer substantial advantages — throughout all phases of the product lifecycle. These advantages must apply to the machine builder and end-user of any industry, if there is to be seamless collaboration in this key area of plant operations.
This whitepaper will cover how to help stay in compliance with applicable standards and regulations, maintenance and training protocols, as well as the other steps necessary to build and operate safe machines on the factory floors. Functional safety in machine building is a critical component in market success, while operational integrity of the motion control and automation safety systems represent practical necessities for all companies today. As the founder of our company, Werner von Siemens, observed in 1880, “The prevention of accidents must not be understood as a regulation required by law, but as a precept of human responsibility and economic reason.”
