An automated control system or an automation control system is a system in which processes are automated. It involves technology that either entirely or partially removes human oversight and direction, enabling basic functions, processes and oversight to be performed independently - that is, automatically. There are many industries in which automation control systems can be implemented and they carry a wide range of benefits for the organizations that implement them. Examples of Automation Systems in Specific Industries This is not a complete listing of industries in which automation control systems can be implemented, but rather some of the more common ones in which they are used. Manufacturing: Industrial automation systems are often implemented in manufacturing in order to control material handling, machinery operation, and production processes. Automation can even extend to quality control, boosting productivity and ensuring an efficient allocation of human resources. Trans...

Typically, when you see “switch and save,” the object of what you can save is money. If you switch from HID lamps to compatible LED corn bulbs, you can save money - and then some. But we need to walk before we can run. Let’s take a step back and look at the facts. First, what is an LED corn bulb ? What Is an LED Corn Bulb ? An LED is a light-emitting diode, a type of semiconductor material that emits light when electrical energy flows across the p-n junction of its surface. As electrical energy flows across it, some of that energy is released as visible light. Many industrial facilities use certain types of lightbulbs known as HID lamps, or high-intensity discharge lamps, for wide-area illumination. Some of the most common types of HID lamps are low and high-pressure sodium bulbs (LPS and HPS, respectively) mercury vapor lamps (MV lamps), and metal halide lamps, also known as MH lamps. HID lamps are very bright and have relatively long lifespans, and so they are commonly used to i...

Electrical enclosures are rigid, protective structures that are installed in electrical circuits and contain switches, buttons, connections, knobs, or displays. These structures provide a layer of protection to the circuit as well as to the electrical components contained within them; they also allow operators to interact with the system via switches, buttons, or other controls while protecting them against the risk of electrical shock. Electrical enclosures are rated according to their ability to encourage the release of excessive heat, to insulate the circuit and its components from electromagnetic interference, or simply to protect against the elements. Just what electrical enclosure is most suitable for a given circumstance, however, is subject to its categorization according to certain systems, of which the two most widespread are the IP and NEMA standards. NEMA: Setting Standards for Electrical Enclosures In the United States, there is an organization known as the National E...

  There are all different sorts of LED lights on the market today. While they were once relatively expensive, the cost of the semiconductor materials used to create them dropped precipitously in the early 2000s, and the industry flourished. Now, there are all sorts of cost-effective LEDs and LED retrofits, such as LED tube lights, LED replacements for incandescent bulbs and halogen bulbs, and even corn cob LED lights . Let’s peel back the layers and take a slightly closer look at why LED corn cob lights are growing in popularity, and why they might be able to make a difference for your business. What Are HID Lamps? HID lamps, more formally known as high-intensity discharge lamps, constitute a class of lighting that has widely been used for large area indoor and outdoor lighting. Many stadiums, arenas, warehouses, high bays, parking lots, and industrial complexes are lit by HID lamps. Of the many different types of HID lamps are HPS and LPS lamps (high-pressure sodium and low-pre...

  Not very much can be said about the nature of different industries, since they all deal in different aspects of products, field their own quality control concerns, and are governed by diverse regulations. This, however, can be said. Regardless of the industry your organization operates in, it is in the best interest of your business to improve efficiency and diminish waste. If you can get a “job” done with two employees or two machines instead of three, it’s beneficial. If you can save time by adjusting a process, it’s beneficial. In other words, we’ve all heard it said that time is money, and since efficiency is a product of time, efficiency costs money. The more efficient an industrial process is, the more money it can save, or make. Industrial automation and monitoring systems, managed by an industrial automation system , may be able to help with the efficiency of your organization’s processes. Industrial automation systems help to streamline industrial processes, improvin...

  If your warehouse or production facility is still lit with traditional HID lamps like high-pressure sodium lamps or metal halide lamps, there’s a respite on the horizon that has an uncouth appearance: LED corn bulbs . LED corn bulbs, also called corn cob lamps and corn cob LEDs among several other names, are light bulbs that have numerous LED emitters arranged around a central cylindrical “cob,” giving them an appearance that is not entirely dissimilar to a corn cob; hence the name. But LED corn lights are purpose-driven and are not a flash in the pan. There are many significant reasons that LED corn lights are superior to HID lamps, the greatest of which we will cover here. LED Corn Cob Lights Deliver Equivalent Color Temperature, Luminous Intensity, Color Rendering Index, and Faster Startup Times First, LED corn bulbs are a great alternative to HID lamps because they offer a wide range of color temperatures, from warm red amber, warm white, and daylight white light to cool...
