Myles Tool Company, Sanborn, NY, since 1977 has specialized in producing standard and special carbide cutting tools for the aerospace, automotive and medical sectors. A one-stop shop for standard tools, regrinds, and special tools made to customer requirements, Myles has grown by investing in new machines and high quality equipment.

Looking for a way to reduce grinding cycle times and improve cutting tool quality in order to satisfy customer requirements, Myles most recently invested in an ANCA MX7 Linear CNC tool grinder with linear motors. Over the years the company purchased a total of 13 ANCA CNC tool and cutter grinding machines. Seven of these machines are the MX7 model.

Industrial personal computers (IPCs) are widely used in automation, data acquisition and related applications due to their superior price-performance ratio, extensive data handling capabilities, numerous connectivity options and other features. They function much like a traditional PC, but with additional features and hardening specifically for tough environments. When an application requires both a box PC and a graphics display, which is usually the case, the most compact and cost-effective solution is to combine both of these components together in one housing.

Singapore-based power generation and electricity retailer, PacificLight, utilizes variable speed drive technology from Siemens to achieve significant energy savings and improve overall plant efficiency. PacificLight Power (PLP) is a Singapore-based power generator whose power plant stands as one of the most efficient operating units in the Singapore power market today. With an installed electrical generating capacity of 800 megawatts (MW), the state-of-the-art Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) power plant is the first in Singapore to be completely fuelled by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), and is capable of producing enough electricity to meet the demands of all households in Singapore. In 2015, the plant generated over 9% of Singapore's total electricity consumption. PacificLight Energy, a subsidiary of PLP supplies electricity to contestable retail customers

The concept of ?smart manufacturing? has flourished in recent years. Industry 4.0 will upgrade global industrial
capabilities by increasing communication among equipment, devices, and humans via Internet connectivity. A
cloud-based IIoT SCADA gateway is a system capable of supporting data storage and performing data
communication from data concentrators to data consumers. Its equipment uses sensors/devices that retrieve
hundreds to thousands pieces of data per second. A large amount of device data is generated in the
manufacturing system. Big data and has a massive influence on industry. A PR Newswire article reported that
?Companies that effectively analyze and act on the huge amount of information available today and in the near
future will improve decision making and enable the accurate delivery of advanced functionality like predictive
insights.?1?

Despite the challenges currently facing the global sugar industry, a sugar manufacturer has improved its mill efficiency by 30% following the replacement of its steam turbine with an integrated drive system.
?

In 2012, the global sugar market faced a second year of surplus ? reaching a record 10.3 million?ton surplus following a 9.2 million?ton surplus the pre?vious year. Since then, the global sugar industry has grappled with price declines, and sugar prices are expected to continue to fall until 2025. Nevertheless, industry experts do not expect sugar production to decrease because it takes time for cane farmers to switch to other crops, and the prices of other crops are falling as well. To address this challenge, forward-looking sugar manufacturers are seeking to improve asset use, reduce operating costs, enhance sustainability, and increase turnover.

Better cleaning with less manpower and space requirements

Cleaning is one of the crucial production steps in manufacturing hydrostatic and hydraulic components. Therefore
an Indian-based manufacturer demanded a high level of cleanliness when the company invested in a cleaning solution
for a new production line. Other requirements D?rr Ecoclean?s Universal 81W has fulfilled are a space-saving
design, short cycle times and a full automation of the cleaning process.

Korenix, the global market leader in industrial PoE, dedicates on offering the total solution of industrial networking and computing devices that is reliable, rugged, user-friendly, and cost-effective. Product lines include industrial Ethernet switches, communication computers, intelligent I/O servers, serial device servers, media converters, serial cards, and especially the global exclusive industrial PoE solutions. Korenix's core superiority is the know-how on industrial technologies and the openness toward innovation. Its strategy for establishing trustworthy and win-win partnership with business alliances creates you the greatest value and benefit.?

PoE is an evolving technology designed to simultaneously provide power and data connectivity over existing Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for running separate and expensive power cables, AC electrical outlets, etc. By removing the power cords and the power infrastructure, this technology greatly simplifies
the wiring and deployment matters and brings lots of convenience and benefits in home, office and industrial environments.

As network infrastructures become more complex in industrial applications, the risk of system failure and data loss also grows. A proactive network monitoring approach is necessary for system operators, as it will help them to be more responsive in tracking problems before they escalate into major crises. With its simplicity and usability, a management system becomes an indispensable tool when building large network systems. However, management is no longer limited to the routine maintenance of software and hardware, as users' expectations in terms of network service reliability and quality increase. Therefore, a reliable and highly effective NMS must be implemented in order to provide real-time and optimized remote network control.

Through close collaboration, LINAK and Sulky F&E have succeeded in automating all the control processes involved with the fertiliser spreaders. Using multiple integrated LINAK electric actuators and a connection technique developed by Sulky.

Opening and closing of the intake and the regulation for the quantity of administered fertiliser (corresponding to the driving speed and the number of partial widths) occurs by actuators adapted to the conditions of the work environment.
