Distance measurement and positioning solutions in industrial environments
In modern industrial environments, as automation technology rapidly advances, precise distance measurement and positioning technology have become key factors for improving production efficiency, ensuring worker safety, and optimizing resource allocation. With the further advancement of Industry 4.0, technologies such as Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS), laser distance measurement, and Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology have emerged as core technologies for achieving refined management and intelligent operations. This article will explore the current applications, challenges, and future development trends of these technologies in industrial environments, as well as related solutions introduced by Murata.
Types and design considerations for terminal blocks
In modern electronic and electrical systems, terminal blocks are key components that ensure stable, secure, and efficient electrical connections. With the advancement of technology and the diversification of application fields, the design and selection of terminal blocks have become increasingly important. Choosing the right terminal block not only helps improve the overall system performance but also reduces the risk of failure, simplifies maintenance processes, and extends the lifetime of equipment. Therefore, understanding the various types of terminal blocks and the considerations in design and application is a necessary step in achieving efficient and reliable electrical connections. This article will introduce the types of terminal blocks, the considerations when choosing them, and the features of terminal blocks offered by Same Sky.
Sensor fusion enhances the navigation and safety of Autonomous Mobile Robots
The philosophy behind Industry 5.0 is humans working alongside artificial intelligence (AI)-powered robots, with the vision that these robots are used to support humans, not replace them. Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) can improve productivity, enhance safety, and save manufacturers significant costs. For these reasons, the adoption of AMRs will expand to almost every industry. However, before that happens, AMRs must overcome several challenges, and one of the keys to overcoming these challenges is the integration of various sensors and the emerging field of sensor fusion. This article will introduce the development of sensor fusion technology and related solutions launched by onsemi.
Industrial-grade connectivity solutions for advanced automation robots
Modern manufacturers are focused on streamlining production line operations and minimizing costly downtime. Engineers are seeking ways to improve product quality and performance, address safety and communication protocol challenges, and optimize space usage in assembly lines with limited design space. This article will introduce Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) technology, which addresses industrial automation connectivity issues, along with the related solutions and product features offered by Molex.
Complete industrial automation PLC solutions
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are one of the core devices in industrial automation and are key applications that enable factories to operate in an automated manner. PLCs are typically modular systems composed of multiple modules, specifically designed to perform logic control, sequential control, timing control, counting control, and other operations. This article will introduce the application of PLCs in industrial automation, as well as related solutions specifically launched by STMicroelectronics (ST) for PLC applications.
High-channel density digital IO modules for industrial automation controllers
In Industrial 4.0 applications, smart sensors are becoming increasingly prevalent in factory environments. In newly constructed automation systems in some factories, the use of sensors has significantly increased. However, the widespread use of sensors has also brought about an important change: the need to handle a large amount of IOs in these legacy controllers, which requires the development of high-density IO modules with size and heat constraints. In this article, I will focus on the design considerations for digital IOs modules, as well as the features and functions of the solutions offered by Maxim Integrated (now part of ADI).
