How has sensing changed in industrial automation? (Part 1)

January 19, 2022 By Randy Frank

The Industrial Revolution or what we might call Industry 1.0 started over 250 years ago. In 1771 Richard Arkwright, today known as Father of the Factory System, used water to power the first fully automated spinning mill. One hundred years later, the automotive assembly line initiated the Second Industrial Revolution or Industry 2.0 with significantly […]

Smart sensors advancements bring new possibilities to industrial automation

August 28, 2020 By Aimee Kalnoskas

By Cliff Ortmeyer, Global Head of Technical Marketing at Newark Sensors are one of the most critical elements of electronic design for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications as, without them, devices have no input (beyond manual human intervention). The good news is that design engineers can now access state-of-the-art sensors that can radically transform […]

Vibration sensors monitor machine health for the IIoT

March 22, 2019 By Aimee Kalnoskas

VocalZoom vibration sensors

VocalZoon announced the launch of its next-generation predictive maintenance sensors for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). VocalZoom’s sensors measure the vibrations emitted by industrial machinery to predict and prevent mechanical failures before they occur. Because they can monitor machine health without touching the equipment, VocalZoom sensors cover a greater array of equipment and use […]
