In the world of laser cutting, where precision is paramount, engineers rely on direct acting proportional regulators to achieve rapid system changes and maintain the quality of cuts. One area where proportional control is crucial is the gas assist system.
Asset health monitoring technologies are vital in the process industries because they help to identify any developing issues in equipment before they lead to a failure requiring costly repair or replacement and possibly impacting production. However, when a problem arises with a critical asset, organisations may have to comb through vast amounts of data from these monitoring technologies to diagnose the fault.
Many industries can benefit from an easy, seamless integration of PLC-based technology with DCS, but not all companies know how to approach such an integration. This case study is an interesting example of such an integration that saved a thermal power station...
It is amazing to see the shapes and assemblies that can be made from various types of plastics. An important technology for manufacturing many of these components is an ultrasonic plastic welder. But how do they work?

In today’s world, it’s unusual to get to work on an urban development project that’s entirely greenfield, but Emerson is currently involved in just such a development with several product families including, quite notably, the discrete control and software solutions....
An Appleton whitepaper, The Next Step in Digital Transformation: Connected LED Lighting in Hazardous Industrial Locations, highlights how this network connectivity helps improve energy performance while maintaining sufficient lighting for safe operations.
Hydrogen fuel technology has reached a stage where it is past the prototype phase, and the industry is now looking to scale up. The fuel cell market, for instance, is forecast to grow at a robust 45.3% compound annual growth rate between 2022 and 2029, with projections of a market value reaching $17.88 billion. However, the potential growth of the industry is not guaranteed. There is still much work to be done, including increasing fueling stations and reducing the cost of producing green hydrogen. To mitigate risks and help hydrogen technology mature, strong partnerships between innovators and automation experts are needed. Automation experts can help hydrogen OEMs and end-users scale up capacity to meet market demands, keep projects on time and in budget, monitor hydrogen application performance, and ensure safety in volatile environments. With the help of automation experts, the hydrogen market can scale up and make a significant contribution towards achieving ambitious climate goals.
No matter the industry, sustainability is a priority for nearly every industrial company with the goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045 as a corporate goal for many enterprises. More than one-third (702) of the world’s largest publicly traded companies...

Proportional regulators, also known as I to P or E to P valves, provide an easy and reliable way to convert a control signal to a pressure. They are essential in applications where precise pneumatic control is critical. While some proportional regulators are used straight out of the box with no configuration, others require tuning to perform in specific ways. This tuning process can seem daunting, leading to the reputation that these regulators are “more art than science.” However, for customers looking to customize the response of a product, field-tunable regulators are necessary. In this blog post, we’ll explore the benefits of tuning proportional regulators and how DAS software streamlines the tuning process for the Sentronic series of regulators.
