Grace Engineered Products displayed its Safe-Test PointTM Permanent Electrical Safety Device (PESD) at the 2019 Rockwell Automation Fair. The Safe-Test Point high impedance protected device is designed with metered test points to allow for safe voltage measurement from outside the panel by inserting properly rated instrument probes into the device measuring phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground.

nVent Electric has launched a program that helps ensure customers in the United States quckly get the solutions they need when their business demands. Customers can expect faster access to high-demand products like Concept, Watershed, Proline G2 packages, Syspend 281-Max HMI system, NEMA-12 Lay-In wireway, SpectraCool air conditioners and more.
Schneider Electric has announced the creation of the industry’s first commercially-available integrated rack with chassis-based, immersive liquid cooling. Optimized for compute-intensive applications, the solution combines a high-powered GPU server with Iceotope’s liquid cooling technology to increase energy efficiency. Avnet integrates the liquid-cooled server with Schneider Electric’s NetShelter liquid-cooled enclosure system for simple deployment into data centers or edge computing environments.
Power management company Eaton has launched its MTL SUM5 smart universal marshalling solution for process applications capable of reducing distributed control system (DCS) marshalling cabinet requirements by up to 50%. With six patents pending, MTL SUM5 combines five functions in one modular design enabling one standard cabinet to deliver the lowest lifetime costs and lowest installed cost while saving valuable space in a control room.
When control cabinets are being designed in 3D, wire lengths automatically calculated, or mounting panels processed by machines, standardised component data is required. These data are also the foundation for the digital twin, which is becoming increasingly indispensable in the product life cycle. The EPLAN Data Standard defines the type of component data required to automate and simplify processes in (pre)planning, engineering, manufacturing and maintenance.
Rittal introduced the new AX / KX wall mount enclosures. These new enclosure offerings feature a simpler and faster assembly and component installation, greater flexibility and enhanced safety. The latest additions to the Rittal enclosure portfolio offer improved features and new opportunities for value creation. The time savings begin with delivery to the customer: Panels can be removed individually and there is no need for the usual disassembly work. It is also easier to install doors and cam locks, and typically without the need for tools.
In EPLAN Platform, Version 2.9, QR codes can be easily generated. Users can store hyperlinks in their documentation that can later be scanned and opened with apps on mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets. It can be used for both internal and external links, making tedious typing a thing of the past. The QR code also works on printed documentation, making it faster and easier to use. Exchanging symbols in placeholder objects has also been simplified and they can now be replaced by selecting the appropriate value sets. Users benefit from greater transparency with fewer macro variants.

B&R Automation: Operator terminal for high-end applications
B&R has added the powerful T80 operator terminal to its Power Panel T-Series. A high-performance Intel Atom processor enables versatile, dynamic web-based HMI solutions. The elegant glass screen makes the Power Panels the perfect accent for a high-end machine design.
The glass screen has integrated edge protection to endure harsh everyday operation. The shallow installation depth makes the devices easy to mount in either a control cabinet or swing arm system.

Rethinking innovation for the Fourth Industrial Revolution
With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the increasing speed at which products and entire markets are changing, operational excellence has become more business critical for all organizations than ever before. In a world in which development and deployment are a continuous process, development models and practices based on update-and-maintenance cycles of months or even years have become inadequate. Hence, the Fourth Industrial Revolution demands a paradigm shift in terms of bringing new products, technologies and solutions to market in such a way as to enable them to keep pace with expectations.
In this context, an important buzzword is solution development.
