In developing their new Q2V space saving VSD, Omron Automation paid special attention to the needs of OEMS. Features like integrated filter, side by side mounting, screwless terminals and coated PCBs reduce installation time and extend operating life. The close mounting offered by the Q2V space saving VSD reduces enclosure sizes without suffering from derating […]
For organisations seeking ways to reduce energy consumption it is important to evaluate the performance of both their existing systems and products. Evaluating new products also forms an important part of this activity. If you’re not going forwards, you’re going backwards, and using VSDs that offer triple duty ratings is a good starting point […]
Industrial Automation equipment manufacturers know it is critical that their products are easily integrated into IIoT manufacturing operations. They enable producers to become more agile in responding quickly to changing consumer demands. But is the goal of a batch size of one realistic? Making a larger number of products more efficiently is only a benefit […]
Machines with AI can perceive their environment and use the information to change the way they respond. Omron Industrial Automation has developed an AI controller for predictive maintenance and extend equipment life. There is growing interest in using artificial intelligence (AI) in automation controllers to enhance their intelligence and improve decision making. AI becomes […]
Omron Automation has released its new NX-series Safety Network Controller, the world’s first to support dual safety protocols. It supports CIP Safety adopted by industrial robot manufacturers and Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE) providing high-speed response. Safety systems stop production lines and facilities when people approach hazards such as robots. Many factories produce a wide variety […]
