We’re running a NEW series on Power Management. In Part 1, we gave an overview of what a power management system is. In Part 2, we dig into the benefits of improving power system performance using power management systems. How does a power management system help your facility? The newest power and energy management systems...

What are the ways that intelligent solutions are helping facility teams optimize power and energy performance, whilst meeting business and sustainability goals? In this NEW series, we start Part 1 with an overview of what a power management system is, and how it helps optimize uptime and efficiency... Why do you need to manage your power? The answer is simple. It is because electrical systems are getting more complex. There are more loads and processes that are more power sensitive. There are more types of loads and more types of distri...

Electric motors have been the backbone for manufacturing industries which have for long relied on the efficiency in the systems brought by electric motors. The idea behind electric motors is straightforward – supply electricity at one end and an axle or the metal rod rotate at the other end giving you the power to drive a machine. This traditional form of motoring operation has been transformed over a span of 200 years and is now an advanced technical breakthrough in the power generation and industrial automation sector. The manufacturin...

The need for digital transformation in mining The COVID-19 pandemic has had profound effects on our lives that transcend health-related matters. It has forced entire industries to rethink operational processes and core business fundamentals, and one of the most remarkable outcomes is the acceleration of digital transformation strategies. In mining, where adoption of Industry 4.0...

  Accelerate the shift to smart manufacturing through remote monitoring Across factories worldwide, the move to smart manufacturing and the related practice of remote monitoring is taking hold. This also applies to such a component of any production as a system of storage facilities, in which the accumulation, storage and distribution of finished products is carried out. The global pandemic accelerated the remote monitoring trend as many plant floor workers were asked to spend less time on-site to reduce the risk of Covid-19 transmi...

How to choose the right partner for industrial digital transformation Organizations in the industrial sector are under considerable pressure to change.
