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.
How to Prevent MCC Corrosion with Insulated Bus Technology
Many industries around the world face challenges with corrosive environments, whether it is inside their facilities with air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, or outdoors with corrosive factors such as water and salt fog. Corrosion is the single largest cause of the breakdown of machinery, structures, supports, and motor control equipment in a plant.

The ‘Next Normal’ for Manufacturing: Embracing Operational Transformation
In the past few months, IDC has spent a great deal of time talking with manufacturers in our community to understand how they are looking at the time ahead of us.
Understanding the Differences Between Machine Guard and Perimeter Guard Light Curtains
Safety light curtains are a relatively hassle-free, cost-effective way to protect your team from hazardous machine motion.
Industrial Transformation
The current corona pandemic shows clearly the importance of digital transformation and Industrie 4.0. Just like Festo, thousands of companies have sent their employees to the home office. In this way, many areas of the economy have been able to stay afloat because digitalisation has advanced extensively in the private sphere.
Cyber Threats: Is Your Current Industrial Security Strategy Enough?
It’s a constant battle and the stakes are high. The fight against cyber threats is unending and the landscape is constantly changing. It can be hard to know if your industrial security strategy is enough, but one thing is certain. Failure to be ready comes at a high price and the threats continue to grow.
