What is a Torque Sensor and How is it Used in Industrial Automation? Industrial automation has revolutionized the way the world works. However, it’s impossible to set up a fully-functioning system without an array of different sensors. In general, these sensors create a measurable output for a specific physical force—whether that is electricity, temperature, or torque. The latter is an extremely important measurement for systems that include rotary motion and/or frequent tightening of com...

What is a Loop Checking Procedure and Why is it Important? Industrial automation is a driving force in today’s business world. From companies that seek to increase their efficiency to those that use automation to increase worker safety, there is no shortage of applications for the technology. But how do engineers figure out if their automation techniques are working appropriately? That’s where a loop checking procedure comes in. It helps to find and identify any deficiencies that might be...

What is a DCS system and what are its advantages? It’s almost unheard of to walk into a modern plant or production facility and not find an automated control system of some sort. These interconnected networks of computers and sensors help keep things running when there are too many simultaneous tasks for human supervisors to observe. A distributed control system (DCS), sometimes called a decentralized control system, is one of the most popular types of controllers. Closely related but uniqu...

Programmable logic controllers are computers outfitted with the latest AI technology that allows them to analyze data and adjust a machine or process independently. When PLCs were first introduced to the industry, it was a revolutionary technology that irrevocably changed how the industry worked. Today, PLCs are integral to industrial automation, and, as technology advances, the AI becomes smarter and faster. PLCs are used to monitor inputs and outputs of a machine and then use artificial intelligence (AI...

How Artificial Intelligence Shapes Decision-Making in Automation Systems The world of manufacturing is a lot smarter than it was ten years ago. Thanks to the emergence of automation, factories are running with less manual labor and more robotic applications. Currently, this approach still relies heavily on humans to control how automated solutions operate and make decisions. However, a new wave of innovative tech is poised to change everything once again. Artificial intelligence (AI) has huge impli...

What is 3D printing? 3D printing allows users to build an object by printing material layer by layer until a three-dimensional object is formed. A computer-aided design (CAD) drawing or 3D model is used for the plans, and the objects are created from various materials including polymers, plastics, and metals using special printers. This technology isn’t new, the concept for it was ideated in the 1970s! But today, 3D printing is scaling up in a big way, and the 3D printing industry is estimated to reach ...
