Working in some industries such as supply chain, logistics, transportation, or the agricultural sector will require managing weight data on a regular basis. This data can be used for future process improvement or cost-effective analysis; however, it is often left unused in spreadsheets.If you are looking for a simple and efficient way to store weighing data to the cloud, LAUMAS has recently partnered with Infor, and now offers this service for measurements taken by their weight transmitters and indicators – LAUMAS TLB4, TLM8, W100 and DESK/ WINOX/WTAB L-R and G-2G. What are the Benefits of

In many industrial settings where a diverse range of machineries perform specialised jobs, manual inspections can be impractical and inefficient, thus, maintenance checks are done on pre-set schedules. While this works in most cases, some hard-working machine components exposed to harsh environments may break before their routine check is up. Industries prone to this plight include manufacturing, railways, mining, pharmaceuticals, construction, and chemical industries. You may be looking for a remote automated monitoring system that can detect problems early to reduce costs associated with

Here in Australia, land transportation accounts for over 80% of shipment – with railways transporting most of the bulk goods. Along with infrastructure limitations and strict regulations, you also need to assess the carrier’s height and width, and most importantly, the maximum weight capacity to ensure the truck’s/container’s clearance and safety.Simplifying this endeavor requires a reliable and accurate truck scale, such as the Curiotec NDSB series. What is a Truck Scale? Load cells are significant components behind all truck scales, and enable truck scales to do their job reliably and

Every time we invest in a product, we're buying more than just a physical object - we're purchasing a promise. A promise that when we need it most, the device will perform exactly as we expect. Whether it's a new car, a smartphone that connects instantly, or an industrial machine that keeps production running smoothly, reliability is the silent expectation behind every purchase. The same goes for variable frequency drives (VFDs), a critical piece of industrial equipment that can affect an entire production cycle. Reliability isn't just a nice-to-have feature - it's a fundamental requirement

Retrofitting with Invertek’s Optidrive P2 drive allows for flexible and efficient operation of Permanent Magnet (PM) and Brushless DC (BLDC) motors. These motor types provide higher efficiency and lower operating costs than induction motors, especially in high-torque, low-speed applications.

An ESI pressure transducer is a device that converts energy from one form to another, and sends signals in volts (V) or millivolts (mV). These signals are directed to any device that would interpret them in a way you can read and understand them for reporting, recording, and monitoring purposes.Pressure transducers are suitable for use if you have short electrical connections, such as in laboratories or inside an electronics enclosure. What makes ESI pressure transducers unique is ESI’s proprietary Silicon-on-Sapphire (SOS) technology. SOS involves growing silicon onto the surface of sapphire

An ESI pressure transmitter is a measuring device that is very similar to a pressure transducer. They both convert one form of energy to another, and then provide an output signal electronically or visually. These signals are communicated to a connected device, which translates them into useful data for your monitoring and record-keeping purposes. The difference is that ESI pressure transmitters send signals in currents, or milliamps (mA). It is important to note that transmitters and transducers do not change or control pressure. How do you decide which one to use? For long distance

If you are in agriculture or horticulture industry, your land is probably your most important asset.Here in Australia, planning around the seasons and weather changes can be challenging when you need to ensure that your soil is conducive enough to sustain your crops and/or plants year-round. Soil management then becomes crucial so your crops not only survive, but also reach their maximum yield potential. This is where Lutron PMS-714 Soil Moisture Meter can help you. This device is designed to help you easily and accurately measure the moisture content of your soil, so you know if it is ready

POSITAL is an industry leader in industrial sensors that are built for motion control and safety measurement systems. From the most economical and compact devices to robust sensors, POSITAL specialises in two types of encoders: absolute and incremental. Absolute Encoders Absolute encoders provide unique digital codes for each shaft position, allowing them to report the exact position immediately upon power-up, even after a power loss. They do not require any calibration or homing sequences, maintaining position data even when the shaft is moved while powered off. Known for their accuracy and

Draw wire sensors, also called cable extension transducers are devices that accurately measure displacement and position. POSTIAL’s LINARIX linear sensors are available in a variety of configurations including robust extruded metal housings, plastic housings and machine metal housings.
