Yaskawa Whitepaper: Lumber Mill Solution Upgraded with Energy Efficient Matrix Drives

April 2, 2025 Automation system PSS 4000 acts as the centralized safety component to ensure smooth mail logistics at Austrian Post. Conversion on the go In Austrian Post’s largest mail logistics centre, an approximately eight-kilometre-long, fully automated conveyor line was to be equipped with modern control technology. The goal and also the challenge: significantly increased…
The benefits related to energy savings when using variable frequency drives (VFDs) in pipeline pump and compressor stations are well established. Drives provide the precise control needed for increasing or decreasing flow along a pipeline. The result is greater efficiency and energy savings than an across-the-line motor starter that requires the use of control valves to manage flow.
How can society meet its increasing demand for energy while reducing carbon emissions? Swedish utility Mälarenergi has achieved something significant as it faces this challenge head-on with its waste-to-energy plant Unit 6, one of the biggest in the world.
February 7, 2024 Noark dives into the world of digital storage centers and see how control and power distribution products keep these critical information hubs running smoothly. While they may not be the most glamorous gadgets in the tech industry, these essential components play a vital role in ensuring the reliability, efficiency, and safety of…
When the Swiss engineering company Peter Huber AG won the order to upgrade and convert the control and safety technology on manual-feed bending machines – to include an additional sheet metal feed via robot – alongside the requirements for economy, flexibility and efficiency there was also one key condition in the requirement specification: wherever possible, the envisaged solution should continue to use the existing controllers.

Weidmüller’s scalable engineering software, u-control 2000, adapts individually to your requirements. And, the u-control is powerful, compact and fully compatible with Weidmüller’s I/O system u-remote. This article looks at what makes u-control the heart of your automation.
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are one of the main components of any automated system. A typical control system has inputs, outputs, controllers (i.e., PLCs), and some type of human interaction with the system, a human machine interface (HMI), for example.
April 15, 2025 By Tiffany Moore Organizations are under more pressure than ever to improve sustainability metrics. How can you help them succeed — and win more business in the process? Building motor control systems with more sustainable parts is one piece of the puzzle. Control panel builders, system integrators, and design firms have an… Read More…
April 15, 2025 By Damien Herwegh Sophia, a dedicated electrical engineer in a large industrial complex, has been tasked with installing a drive system where the motor is located hundreds of meters away from the control room. Like many engineers before her, she considers the usual question: Should I place the drive in the electrical… Read More…
