Within industrial facilities, machinery, systems, and devices may all generally operate under demanding conditions that lead to potential challenges in maintaining electrical safety. For example, such environments are often characterized by high ambient and processing temperatures, the need to manage substantial power requirements, and the ever-present risk of fire hazards due to the operation of complex machinery and systems. To address these challenges, facilities must implement comprehensive electrical safety measures, including the use of circuit protection devices and adherence to stringent safety standards. This blog will explore these topics in more detail, ensuring you can invest in all the solutions necessary for upholding efficiency and safety in industrial facilities.

In the world of industrial automation, programmable logic controllers (PLCs) stand out as the backbone of modern manufacturing processes. Since their initial debut in the automation industry in the late 20th century, these versatile devices have revolutionized countless industrial operations with their unmatched flexibility, reliability, and efficiency in controlling and monitoring a wide range of manufacturing processes. From automotive assembly lines to food processing plants, PLCs have become indispensable tools in many settings, making it useful to have a general understanding of their makeup and functionality.

In the world of process control and sensor technology, strain gauges–or strain sensors–play a vital role. Mechanical forces, such as tension, compression, and shear, can be measured and monitored using these devices. This blog will explore the fundamental basics of strain gauges, their principles of operation, their applications in pressure transducers, and their relevance in various industries.
