Automation has been around for as long as there have been machines, but what does it mean? What are the different types of automation systems and how do they help people and businesses? Electrical automation refers to different ways to control electrical devices using other electrical devices or sensors. This includes methods like using digital inputs and outputs or syncing the operation of two pieces of equipment together through the use of software or hardware. With new developments in robotics, it’s even possible to automate tasks that usually require human hands. Let’s take a look at what this means and why you should care about electrical automation. The meaning of electrical automation Electrical automation provides a means to control one or more electrical devices or appliances by sending commands. The commands can be sent from a physical switch on an electrical device, from an electronic circuit, from computer software or via remote control, for example. In most cases these ...

You’ve heard of industrial automation , but maybe you don’t know much about it. The concept has been around since the Industrial Revolution and has steadily become more advanced with time, yet many people still aren’t sure how to make the most of this technology in their companies. Here are five benefits of industrial automation that you may not know about. Accurate, consistent production Industrial automation enables a production process to run in an accurate, consistent manner. As long as all machines are functioning properly, industrial automation is used to ensure that every product matches up with its intended specifications. In other words, you can expect industrial automation to eliminate human error or negligence from a production process—which will improve your product quality and save time and money in other areas of your business. Increased quality Manufacturers gain higher-quality products by reducing human error and consistently operating machines at precise rates. Thi...

Temperature sensors are used in everything from industrial equipment to consumer products like refrigerators, freezers, and thermostats. But how do you know if your temperature sensor is accurate? After all, no matter how fast your thermostat can change the temperature inside your home, it’s only useful if it tells you the true temperature accurately! In this article on how to calibrate your temperature sensor for greater accuracy, we’ll discuss how and why you should calibrate your temperature sensors, show you the tools that you need to do it right, and explain what happens during the calibration process. The most common method of temperature sensor calibration is called offset calibration. In offset calibration, we use a known temperature source and measure the voltage produced by our temperature sensor at that temperature. The difference between what we actually measured and what we think it should be is referred to as an offset.  To convert our sensor into a thermometer tha...

Manufacturing is complex and requires a high degree of expertise. To make efficient use of your manufacturing plant, you need to have effective response time and excellent communication methods. You need to have effective decision making processes and strong data and system analysis skills. You also need to have the ability to plan, organize, andсorganize resources efficiently.  However, these are just some of the requirements for manufacturing professionals as a group. There are many other factors that go into achieving optimal results from your manufacturing processes. The Plc Programming industry has a wealth of information about assisting in the production of certain end products with high throughputs and low waste production costs. Read on the blog till the end for the top Important Uses of PLCs in Manufacturing. PLCs are one of the best tools for improving manufacturing quality If we take the example of making T-shirt fabrics, certain techniques make the T-shirt so breath...

For many years, industrial control systems (ICS) were typically only used in large factories and manufacturing plants. However, over the past few years, ICS have become more and more popular for smaller businesses as well. ICS allow you to automate your manufacturing process, making it faster and more efficient. In this post, we’ll discuss the basics of ICS and how they can be used to improve your business.  What is an Industrial System? Industrial Systems, or ICS, are computer systems used to monitor and control industrial processes. An ICS consists of three main components: hardware, software and communications.  The hardware component of an ICS is made up of controllers, sensors and actuators. The controllers are the brains of the system, receiving input from the sensors and sending output to the actuators. The sensors measure physical or chemical parameters in the process, such as pressure, temperature or level, while the actuators control the process by turning on or ...

Dry-block calibrators are used to ensure consistent and accurate readings from samples taken from wells drilled in dry rock formations. The calibration value of the samples is compared with actual results to ensure that they are within ±1 micrometre of one another. A reading above the reference range indicates problem in the calibrator; below the reference range, it’s probably normal. Reducing anxiety and improving performance in routine maintenance activities is one of the most important benefits associated with switching to new equipment and techniques.  What is a Dry-Block Calibrator? A dry-block calibrator is a high-Performance Water-In-Situ Analyzer (HPCISA) that employs a simulation of an active rock formation to determine mineral content and potential oil and gas production. It is a unique tool that can accurately determine mineral content, ranging from 100 parts per million (ppm) to 1,000 ppm. The dry-block calibrator is ideal for determining formation conditions and for...
