Intelligent Automation

The blend of artificial intelligence with automation has produced a new approach to smart manufacturing and technology. It’s also introduced a lot of fear and contentious thought about machines and software replacing people in the workplace. While Hollywood and our authors of science fiction have painted a negative picture of how robots and machines will rule humanity in the future, that outcome couldn’t be farther from the truth. Siemens, an industrial leader in the world of intelligent automation, ...

Evolution

Industry 4.0's Place in Human History For now, let’s call Industry 4.0 a phenomenon. It’s still an initiative in the early formation of purpose and objective. We can look around the world and observe in various countries the spawn of many attempts at implementation under different names that are being swept under the umbrella of Industry 4.0. In the United States, it’s called the Second Machine Age. In China, it’s called “Made in China 2025” to signify an effort that has a timestamp on...

Hydraulics

The Motion of Fluid in the Automation of Today When people think of automation they tend towards the electrical side of things, the controllers and the brains behind the machine. Those brains need something to make the machine do its job, and there are different methods to make those electronic commands form in the physical world. The primary methods that create motion in automation are electric, hydraulic, and pneumatic actuators (motors, cylinders, etc. – anything that converts something into m...

Mach

Looking Through the Lens of Automation I remember my first interaction with machine vision. It was exciting, because I had this image of all the things you’ve seen in the movies. I always remember the scenes in “Terminator” where you were looking through the eyes of the machine, and seeing what it saw. Little did I realize that while that was possible, it was not something easily accomplished. Machine vision is an exciting tool in automation; it takes machine sensing to the next l...

phoo

Chances are (unless you’ve been living off-grid for the last few years) you’ve heard the terms Internet of Things (IoT), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and Industry 4.0, but like many people you may not be able to pinpoint what exactly each one means and how they relate to each other. To start learning what the implications of these new concepts really are, we need to start with the root of it all: the Internet of Things. In the broadest terms, the Internet of Things (IoT) encompasses all physic...

kollmorgen frameless motors

Kollmorgen has made big improvements to their motor lineups for 2019. They have spent a lot of time and effort into building cutting edge motors which cannot be matched by competing manufactures. One of their newest additions to their motor product lines are their ‘frameless motors’. Kollmorgen designed these motors around servo motor kits which open a vast number of opportunities for end users to design their motor dependant machines in a variety of configurations. Kollmorgen engineers describe a fram...
