The Internet of Things (IoT) is providing a major boost to the automation sector. Industrial automation firms that employ IoT solutions can benefit in several ways as it allows engineers to develop new technologies to tackle issues, improve processes (like in healthcare), and increase output.

The Internet of Things is the connection of inextricably identifiable electronic devices via data plumbing on the Internet, such as IP, cloud computing, and web services and healthcare services. It is fair to mention that the Internet of Things (IoT) has a significant impact on industrial automation, and it motivates us to utilize tablet computers, smartphones, virtualized systems, and cloud storage for data.

On the other hand, Industry 4.0 is the intersection of cyber-physical systems and the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT includes smart sensors that give managers more accurate information on which they can base their decisions for growth in today's competitive environment.

The industrial automation sector has started to adopt IoT technologies at a much slower pace as compared to other sectors such as healthcare and retail. However, this is changing now, and industrial automation companies are realizing the benefits of IoT technologies.

Let us examine the different ways in how the Internet of Things (IoT) is affecting industrial automation:

When you think about the manufacturing industry, it's easy to imagine a huge warehouse full of machines and equipment that all work together with precision.

But how do these automated plants know what they're doing? The answer: programmable logic controllers (PLC). These specialized computers can be found running through production lines across industries like automakers or even food processors; ensuring each product gets made correctly according to plan.

Practical Engineering Solutions is very excited to announce the addition of Mary Malhiet to our newest service offering in the inspection arena.  Mary has been tapped as our new senior inspection coordinator to manage our inspection efforts in the field.

Industry 4.0 is upon us, and with it comes new opportunities for the manufacturing sector. If you're not sure what Industry 4.0 is or how it can benefit your business, read on for everything you need to know.

We'll explain the basics of this transformative technology, and show you how to get started today.

Bellard & Associates has merged with PES and has moved their offices to 124 Heymann Blvd and the new company will operate under the PES’ infrastructure. 

As simple as the media portrays the oil and gas industry sometimes, in reality, it is quite a sophisticated and elaborate process. With the many stages involved at a macro level, including drilling, production, and refining, the oil and gas process can be broken down to many more micro levels as well.

Keep reading to discover everything you need to know about the upstream oil and gas separation process.

Even if you think your operation couldn't get better, there's always room for improvement. Thanks to rapidly developing technology, you have new options to implement quality control on your industrial manufacturing shop floor.

With a few tweaks to your process, you can see distinct improvements in quality while maintaining a lean manufacturing process when producing intricate, precise and reliable components.

Traditional vehicles are tailored to specific uses and cannot generally cross exposed ground surfaces. On the other hand, amphibious vehicles, such as the Fat Truck, are designed to have many uses which include transportation across exposed ground surfaces.  

Due to their increased popularity, the demand for amphibious vehicles has skyrocketed over the last several years and is expected to continue growing in the coming decades.

Here are a few details on how amphibious vehicles benefit both the mining and engineering industries.
