Smart controllers can be adapted to the specific needs of users, and their high level of scalability means that industries may fulfill various applications with the same controller. 

Where will technology take consumers in the next 10 years? More importantly, how will technology advances shape industrial manufacturing and, more specifically, combustion controls and process heating? 

I’m probably dating myself here, but do you remember the scene from Crocodile Dundee, where Paul Hogan’s character, a croc hunter who travels to New York City following the lure of a lovely lady, and is mugged at knifepoint? 

Process plant personnel need perspective and insights into the key assets — boilers, heaters, burners, chillers, ovens, heat exchangers, furnaces, pumps and valves, etc. — used in their facilities. 

Wireless technologies that serve as the backbone of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are gaining wider use in the global food manufacturing industry. The goal of IIoT technologies is to automate the collection of data across operations and improve processes within a processing plant. An enterprise that uses more advanced analysis of its data will see operational improvements and cost savings.

As in the classic “chicken or the egg” causality dilemma, I often wonder whether I simply notice delicious irony, or if I create the situations that give rise to my bemused delight.

The world is going crazy for connected devices and the Internet of Things (IoT): Nearly 25 million smart speakers were sold last year, with about 11 million moved in the holiday season alone.

The CS line of chillers combines cool and smart technology in one unit. All the models are air-cooled and work with refrigerants R404A. They are equipped with bypass, manometer and sensor to monitor the flow.

The industrial furnace of tomorrow is a smarter machine: safer, better connected, more flexible and more efficient.

The CE-compliant UWBT Series combines the accuracy of an industrial sensor/transmitter with the convenience of smartphones and tablets.
