Smart Manufacturing

If you’re looking for a motion control system for embedding in factory production applications, we’d suggest taking a look at the MAI602-M4D80 from iBASE. This has been designed for use in a number of manufacturing processes such as automated optical inspection, semiconductor wafer handling, packaging and material handling systems. But don’t just take our word for it – check out the specifications below.

The Internet of Things is here and nowhere more so than in smart factories, where embedded computers are now automating the production line to an extent hitherto only imagined. If you’re looking for an intelligent IoT gateway system for industrial control, we would suggest you take a look at iBase’s Intel Apollo Lake-based AGS series – the AGS100 and the AGS102

Forklift trucks are the driving force behind effective warehouse logistics – and if you operate a forklift fleet, rugged onboard computers are an absolute necessity

There’s nothing worse than production grinding to halt because of a problem with your computer system. Finding a fix takes time and money – but the real cost is the resulting business disruption. Your operation might be held up for an hour or for a day. It will hit your bottom line and you could also lose customers as a result of the failure. In this post, we’ll take a look at the types of cost you are likely to incur and how you can avoid them.

The Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) is real and it’s here to stay. So how is this affecting the way manufacturers design and run their new smart factories? Digital transformation is driving changes in the way we all work and for many manufacturers this is like stepping into a brave new world. So how do they face up to these new challenges?

Ever since people started to use technology onsite or on the move, there has been a need for rugged versions – but in the early days these were clunky and heavy, and didn’t keep up with state-of-the-art consumer technology. Now that’s all changed and you can find fully rugged pieces of equipment that are every bit as stylish and futuristic as their consumer equivalents.
