Farnell has released the second episode in Series 2 of the global podcast series, The Innovation Experts, featuring Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital automation and energy management.

Mouser Electronics and STMicroelectronics (ST) have partnered to create a new resource site highlighting the products, insights and strategies required for smart industry designs.

A new eBook has been produced by Mouser Electronics in collaboration with Amphenol, highlighting Industrial Internet of Things applications as well as the technical challenges in developing IIoT solutions.

Mouser Electronics has worked with Texas Instruments (TI) and Phoenix Contact to present a new solutions page dedicated to single-pair Ethernet (SPE) technology.

A new eBook has been published by Mouser Electronics in collaboration with Analog Devices, exploring the technological innovations and wide-reaching applications of Industry 4.0.

Soon to be released by Impulse Embedded is the ICO300-83M: ATEX/C1D2 IIoT Gateway System for Hazardous Environments from Axiomtek.

In manufacturing, even the smallest errors can cause high costs. To reliably prevent this, Sandvik Coromant offers digital machining solutions that provide workshops with 'eyes and ears'. With the help of the CoroPlus range, consisting of innovative software and connected tools, it’s possible to optimise and prevent damage to the machine, tools and components - while also putting an end to unwanted production stops.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has set up the Global Lighthouse Network - a group of 69 factories that form a shining example of superior technology integration and optimised processes. With the fourth industrial revolution well underway, facilities other than Lighthouse factories must also invest in equipment that can bring them up to speed. Here, Stewart Goulding, Managing Director at Electro Mechanical Systems Ltd, explores how powerful and high precision micromotors can advance automated equipment.

The manufacturing sector has faced huge logistical and operational challenges caused by the pandemic and the associated restrictions of operating in lockdowns. One thing, perhaps above all others, has become apparent: those companies further along in their digital transformation journey have been much better placed to meet the challenge.

With broadcast’s geographically spread assets and multiple process that all generate massive amounts of data, key to ensuring these improvements is being able to capture and interpret it in real time. In this article, Philippe Aretz, Channel Sales Director at Ovarro, previously Servelec Technologies, explains why the deployment of remote telemetry unit (RTU) and SCADA systems has been essential to support the roll out of mobile communications and broadcasting mediums, especially those in remote locations.
