Why reliability is built long before a PLC leaves the factory
TodayA product that works is one thing. A product the customer trusts enough to buy again - that is true reliability. It sounds simple, but it shapes everything ABB does at its PLC production facility in Hornberg, Germany, as Florian Backfisch, Senior Project Lead Industrial Engineering at ABB, explains.
How machine builders can cut wiring time and complexity
TodayMachine builders face significant challenges every time they wire a new machine. As machines pack in more sensors than ever before, that job only gets bigger. Here Mark Richards, sales manager at automation and control specialist, Beckhoff Automation UK & Ireland, explains how machine builders can take the time and the risk out of wiring.
