Dewesoft has expanded its IOLITE data acquisition platform with new IOLITE DAQ modules for high-density voltage and current acquisition, isolated low-voltage measurement, and advanced temperature and resistance testing. The expanded module range gives engineers more flexibility when configuring IOLITE systems for …
An autonomous mobile robot may know exactly where it is—but does it know whether its payload is safe to carry? Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) increasingly move materials through warehouses, factories, hospitals, laboratories and other industrial environments. …
Testing a launch vehicle involves much more than measuring vibration during lift-off. Engineers must validate structures, propulsion systems, avionics, electrical power, ground equipment and recovery procedures—often while collecting thousands of synchronised measurements under extreme conditions. NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) and …
When Running Ethernet Cable Becomes the Problem: Wireless vs Wired Remote I/O Connecting a sensor, instrument or actuator to a control system sounds straightforward—until the required Ethernet cable must cross a roadway, production line, hazardous area or existing facility. At that …
Small torque fluctuations inside a gearbox, electric motor or driveline can create noticeable noise and vibration. Yet engineers often struggle to measure these events because the component may simultaneously transmit thousands of newton metres of torque. A conventional torque sensor may …
Chemical tank level monitoring gives operators remote visibility of stored liquids across industrial, agricultural and processing facilities. As a result, businesses can improve inventory planning, schedule deliveries and respond sooner when tank levels move outside nominated limits. LevelCon combines compatible industrial …
FUTEK has upgraded its IAA100 and IAA200 strain gauge analog amplifiers to deliver lower noise, improved stability and greater configuration flexibility for force, load, torque and pressure measurement applications. The IAA100 provides a voltage output for connection to data acquisition systems, …
Excessive vibration in industrial plants can lead to equipment failures, reduced product quality, and structural damage. As well as, increased maintenance costs and even complaints from nearby communities. While vibration is a normal characteristic of many industrial processes. Identifying the specific …
A Practical Guide for Maintenance and Repair Teams When a printed circuit board fails, the first question many technicians ask is, “Where are the schematics?” Unfortunately, in many industrial environments, the answer is often the same: unavailable. Whether maintaining legacy manufacturing …
As electric vehicles become more sophisticated, engineers increasingly rely on simulation models to predict battery performance, motor efficiency and thermal behaviour. However, even the most advanced models must be validated using real-world measurements. This is to ensure they accurately reflect how …
