If your variable frequency drive keeps tripping on overload even though the motor and drive are properly sized, you're not alone. This is one of the most common and frustrating...
Many manufacturers believe redundancy is built into their automation systems. They have spare machines. Backup programs. Extra capacity on paper. A second shift can make up for lost production. Then...
Most production downtime does not begin with a dramatic failure. It starts with a single automation issue that escalates because there is no clear recovery path. A drive fault will...
Plant engineers and reliability managers know the reality: many facilities still rely on PLCs, DCS components, and field devices installed 15–25 years ago. These systems often run reliably day-to-day, but...
Modern industrial robots in action on a U.S. production line – the front line of reshoring competitiveness in a tariff-impacted world. Plant engineers, reliability managers, and procurement teams in U.S....

On this solemn anniversary of September 11, 2001, Industrial Automation Co. takes a moment to reflect on the profound impact of that tragic day. We pause to honor the extraordinary...
When your machine slows down, that energy doesn’t have to turn into heat. With regenerative drives, you can push it back to the line—or share it with other axes—and...
In the world of industrial automation, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are the backbone of control systems, executing logic to keep processes running smoothly. One critical metric often discussed is scan...
In the fast-paced world of industrial automation, communication protocols are the unsung heroes that keep drives, controllers, and machines humming in harmony. Whether you're an engineer designing complex systems, a...
A practical, step-by-step guide for maintenance leads, controls engineers, and buyers. What you’ll learn: How to size to current (FLA) first, not horsepower When to choose VT vs CT...
