Selection criteria for pressure sensors in hazardous environments

Selection criteria for pressure sensors in hazardous environments

Selecting pressure sensors for hazardous environments requires a comprehensive understanding of both the hazardous conditions and the technical specifications needed to ensure safety and reliable performance.

Extracting data from a legacy plant

Extracting data from a legacy plant

You want to bring your legacy plant into the 21st century by implementing comprehensive monitoring and data analysis. But there’s a problem. How do you access the data you need? Tim Dodd of ifm electronic tells all.

Emerging smart sensor applications in industrial IoT

Emerging smart sensor applications in industrial IoT

The old Internet of Things (IoT) adage, “you can’t improve what you can’t measure”, couldn’t be more relevant to the industrial sector. With technology adoption in mining, manufacturing, and logistics industries driven by the need to maximise productivity and minimise operating costs, IoT sensors play a critical role in collecting data and insight.

Turning data into action: How intelligent sensors and AR optimise operations

Turning data into action: How intelligent sensors and AR optimise operations

If the PLC is the brain of industrial operations, sensors are the nerve endings that collect information and send it to be interpreted. But can you optimise what you can’t see? David Hannaby, SICK UK’s Product Manager, explains how augmented reality enables us to see what was previously unseen and how sensors will play a central role in the factories of the future.

Flipping human motion detection on its head

Flipping human motion detection on its head

Automatic object detection is growing ever more sophisticated, yet the accurate detection of humans still poses unique challenges. Omron’s Gabriele Fulco explores what it is that makes humans so difficult to detect reliably and how successfully navigating these obstacles could usher in a new era of productivity.
