weight machines
Standalone machine development National Instruments c-DAQ 9181 and C series modules when paired together could be used to achieve complete measurement system. In such architecture, it is possible to transfer data between measurement system (composed of c-Daq chassis carrying c-series module) and labview app using wifi network, bluetooth or ethernet cable. I was once involved with designing weight machines using...
Engineering Hydraulic Machine for fluid control
Verification and validation testing of aerospace components, notably pumps, valves, engines, is essential to ensure safe flight. Adequate testing requires exact replication of actual geometrical representation of component position within an aircraft. Further, it is quintessential to simulate environmental conditions surrounding aircraft during the flight. If the component is not subjected under real application conditions during testing...

Safety On Board Need for integrated safety on board controllers Today, production managers require more productivity through machines. Manufacturing industry suffers from stopping production line to perform day-to-day maintenance activities. Once multi axis motion controller based manufacturing line running hundred's of delta robots is stopped, engineers are required to re-synchronize axis if integrated safety is not implemented in the production line...

Machine Safety Integrity Level SIL A quick google search tells us that Sil level is about probability of failure but what does it mean in terms of process engineering? I have written this brief article focusing on how expression SIL and IEC 61508 applies to our field of work. What is SIS If an instrument is SIS rated i.e. Safety Instrumented System,...
DAQ system
Data Acquisition Systems Applications of data acquisition system Data acquisition systems are required to test products prior being used in service or by public. Many products are required to be subjected to extreme conditions to ensure the product would still be operational and not detrimental to environment. For instance, air craft motor drive must be tested under same atmospheric condition that...
rotary encoder
Servo Motion Control In servo motion, a feedback sensor - usually encoder - is used to continuously measure position and speed of motor to correct motor speed. By using feedback sensor, we can get very accurate results. Most servo motors now have on-board 'Motor Encoder'. However, additional encoders could be placed on the actual mechanical axis to compare against actual line...
Integrating Machine Vision
Today, vision monitoring is playing a vital role in stopping the spread of Covid-19 disease. Both inside and outside offices, vision inspection is ensuring people are keeping social distances. For decades, visual inspection has been an important aspect for industrial processes. Whether it is used for assisting in sorting bulk materials in pharmaceutical processing, inspecting the quality...
5G-mimo
When 4G technology was adopted in 2008, smartphone apps, streaming services and high speed internet access on-the-go became the norm. Regardless, there was little wireless advancement within production line factories and this is where a lot of 'Big Data' is produced. Sensor data and controls engineering is such a critical operation that it is never deemed safe...
filling machine
Synchronised multi-axis motion control Filling Machines and Production Line Advanced production line in most industries involve many different processes. For instance, yogurt filling machines involves feeding pot material from a coil into a press machine mounted with die. Finished part out of the press and die is empty pots ready for the next stage. Next stage might involve wrapping pots with...
