The explosion of industrial automation in the latter half of the 20th Century has brought untold benefit to today’s business processes, delivering convenience and cost savings from higher efficiency production and output.

But as with any ‘efficiency dividend’, what you gain on swings, you inevitably lose on roundabouts.

Falling oil prices and collapsing profit margins are driving the industry to lower costs any way possible.

Regardless of the industry; achieving productivity targets depends heavily on automation and control technology.

This paper discusses the challenges in relation to imported spare parts/ encoders, the effect of delays on an organisations bottom line, and how you can efficiently find and replace even the most hard-to-source encoders, with minimum or no impact on productivity.

Encoders are an important part of production in many industries, acting as feedback transducers for; motorspeed control, sensors for measuring, cutting and positioning, and as input for speed and rate controls.

The following white paper (complete with an application example drawn from a live installation) will focus on DNP3 architectures used for reliable and secure control of remote infrastructure such as water pumps.

As consumers, wireless technology is a part of our everyday lives. From the home to the street, chances
are you will be able to get a signal from somewhere – either cellular or a variant of the IEEE 802.11
standard. This ready adoption by consumers has not been matched by a commensurate eagerness in
industry, especially in the process industry. However, with new standards and more robust hardware
being developed all the time, the uptake is steadily growing.

This white paper discusses Industrie 4.0, taking the digitalisation of industry to a new level, and the opportunities and challenges the changes will present.

Achieving greater efficiency in your plant operations results in greater productivity and savings.

This paper examines what must be taken into when working out the total cost of ownership of equipment and other considerations when deciding whether to rent or buy.

This paper examines the role of sensors in industrial automation, the different types of sensors for industrial applications, and the role of sensors as we move towards Industry 4.0.

This guide examines the challenges faced in improving water management processes and reducing water consumption, and the available solutions help provide greater control of water monitoring and control.

Lowering overall operating costs, reducing downtime and lowering maintenance costs are just a handful of the benefits upgrading to a modern automation system will provide. All these and more are detailed in this exclusive white paper – Automation System Optimisation.

The Australian environment presents some of the harshest working conditions for industries across the board; from extreme temperatures to dust, wind, rain, floods and exposure to sunlight.
