Electrical control systems play an increasingly essential role in many industries, from food and drink manufacturing to oil and gas, engineering, construction, automotive, industrial processing and more. In fact, in most modern production facilities, you’ll find electrical control systems that direct the way different equipment and processes function to ensure they achieve their mechanical goals. Electrical […]
Electrical control systems play an increasingly essential role in most manufacturing and industrial production processes. From simple electronic or electrical devices to sophisticated computer networks, electrical control systems are everywhere. They continually regulate electrical, electronic or mechanical devices, systems or processes to ensure they behave in a repeatable, predicted way and perform to a consistent high
How to get the most out of your electrical control system Read More »
Electrical controls play a vital role in automation. They are built to make automated systems operate the way you need them to. However, the way an electrical control system is designed and the hardware, software, and technology it uses can significantly influence how efficient and effective the system will perform. It’s not unusual for a
Five things to consider when investing in an electrical control system Read More »
One of the most significant advantages of using electrical control systems in your production facilities is the safety enhancements it can bring. When everything works as it should, automation can help you streamline and optimise your production processes, improve product quality, minimise downtime and keep health and safety incidents to a minimum. However, if automation
To illustrate how important Industry 4.0 is to the future of manufacturing and engineering, it’s essential to understand how the sectors have changed over the past two decades. Here are some of the significant shifts and trends we’ve seen.
Manufacturing technology has come a long way in the space of a few short years. Here, we take a closer look at robotics and automation, the benefits they bring and the role they are set to play in the factories of the future.
Automation, robotics, and the factories of the future Read More »
Over the past few years, the manufacturing and engineering sectors have undergone a significant transformation in how they operate. Here, we take a closer look at how Industry 4.0 has developed and ask the question, does it live up to the hype?
The manufacturing and engineering fields are always in a constant state of flux, as new innovations, advances in technology and better ways of working come to the fore. Here, we take a closer look at how Industry 4.0 is affecting engineering and what the future might hold.
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and direct digital controls (DDCs) are integral in many automated plant and process control systems, making them function the way you want them to. PLCs and DDCs are similar in that they both make decisions based on data gathered from sensors to write outputs. However, PLCs often hold the edge over DDCs
Control systems engineers are responsible for designing, developing and managing electrical control systems in industrial applications. Here, we look at the role they play in helping manufacturing and engineering operators achieve improvement through technology?
