Why Should you Implement IIoT Sensors in your Facility? Discussing Condition Monitoring with ABB’s Artur Rdzanek
By Blake Marchand
Artur Rdzanek, ABB’s Mechanical Power Transmission Global Product Manager for Sensored Products, notes there are three core tenants to ABB AbilityTM sensors and remote monitoring systems: safety, extending system life, and significantly, or even completely, eliminating downtime.
From a safety perspective, the advantage is being able to gauge component health without having to be continuously around rotating equipment. The ability to monitor equipment remotely is particularly important when it comes to equipment that is difficult or dangerous to access. Usability is at the core of sensors.

Smart Pneumatics for Today’s Industrial Automation
At the pioneering water treatment plant of the Landeswasserversorgung (state water supply company) in Langenau, Germany, one of the most modern in Europe, designers had several automation and control system options when planning to build a new ground water filtration system.
After careful consideration, they ultimately chose a pneumatic automation solution from Festo for use in multimedia and activated carbon filtering basins. Such applications demonstrate in real-life how pneumatics continue to be a popular choice for automation in many critical operations, across numerous industries.
