This article provides a comprehensive overview of the importance and practical approach to using the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) for predictive maintenance operations in factories. Moreover, how this approach can reduce the time taken to investigate equipment issues by up to 93% For factories, it can also be difficult to secure capital investment budgets […]
Manufacturers increasingly recognise automation as a way of supporting, rather than replacing their manual workforce. Accelerating this approach is vital given the growing concern over labour shortages in the industry. The challenge is not just about filling jobs, it is about evolving the workforce in the face of changing demands. These can stem from customer […]
An important product for users of high-performance variable speed inverter drives is the Mitsubishi Electric’s FR-E800 Series. Designed as machine drives, they offer superior diagnostic performance, reliability, and functionality. Yet, despite their advanced performance, they remain simple to use. Superior diagnostic performance Their advanced auto-tune function works with both IM and high efficiency PM motors […]
As machines become more complex, efficient motor control solutions are more important than ever. Motor control covers a range of functions, including switching, short-circuit protection, overload protection, and motor management. Moreover, by optimising motor control functions, machine builders can create more dependable, sustainable, and cost-effective machines that perform better. One of the leading trends in […]
Electric motors consume about 60% of the electricity used by manufacturing industries. Moreover, for heavy industries this proportion can ramp up to 90%. Adopting advanced motor management principles reduces both energy use and motor related downtimes. Yet, ofttimes users do not apply modern energy management principles to help reduce consumption. Industrial electric motors drive […]
