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 ...

The brave, new world we live in is one built on the backs of innovation, technology, and the belief that we should work smarter rather than harder. This has brought us convenience in many different forms, but few greater than in the smartphones we carry with us every day. Thoroughly enmeshed in our lives, phones have practically become an extension of ourselves and one that has a solution for just about anything. They've become integral to how we work and learn, proving us quick references, educational r...
