[ + ]Computer scientists enhance robotic manufacturing
Some industrial robots are hulking, highly specialised pieces of machinery that are cordoned off by cages from human factory workers, but manufacturers have also begun experimenting with a new generation of 'cobots' designed to work side by side with humans. [ + ]
Position sensing: direct load position sensing with secondary feedback encoder
In closed-loop motion control systems, direct load monitoring using secondary feedback encoders eliminates common sources of position error - mechanical backlash, non-linearity and hysteresis - and saves money along the way. [ + ]
Transforming Australian manufacturing: it's all about the customer
A discussion with John McGuire, global industry director manufacturing at Aurecon, about our changing connected world and the opportunities it presents for Australian manufacturers. [ + ]
Extracting HART data from smart instruments
A simple and cost-effective solution for gathering HART information is to use a HART interface device. These devices make acquiring HART data a fairly simple proposition.

Emission monitoring benefits for power plants
Monitoring and measuring the emissions of all process plants can give an indication of the levels of pollution being exhausted into the atmosphere and, as importantly, the degree of efficiency of the plant. In many cases, if the plant efficiency is improved, the emission of pollution is significantly reduced; win-win for everyone. [ + ]
