IDW Populated Data or More Excuses?
By Bill Floyd

At the recent NAED Eastern Meeting, in one session a manufacturer said they really hadn't gotten to populating IDW (Industry Data Warehouse) yet because it's expensive and his products change too quickly. This drew a frustrated response from a participant on the IDEA side. Paraphrasing, he said everything is expensive but if a manufacturer expects to be relevant in the internet world in which we live participation is a must.

With the popularity of the Internet, the world has changed. SMART eCAT is now one new important way.  Each month we will feature a new manufacturer’s electronic SMART eCAT that will show how looking up products and using manufacturer’s catalogs have never been easier. This “eCatalog Collection” now also appears on our distributor partner and manufacturer rep’s websites as well. We encourage you to look for these there and deal with the companies with which you already have close relationships and work hard to serve your everyday needs.

Bridging the Gap in Plant-Wide Communications
Chuck Ross

While today’s manufacturing facilities still feature conveyor lines and pick-and-place equipment, the controls that make all that machinery operate as required have changed drastically in the last decade or so. Hardwired control systems are giving way to wireless connectivity, which can provide more data on how machines are operating (and where problems might be occurring) and ease both installation and maintenance when space might be lacking to access hardwired connection points.





Emergency Alarms
James R. Dukart

For use either within or outside industrial, commercial, residential and institutional facilities, Edwards Signaling provides a comprehensive range of emergency alarms and emergency alarm systems.

Starting with community-wide emergency alarms, Edwards Signaling offers its V6 and V9 Series, which are dual-tone sirens of eight horns arranged for omni-directional, 360-degree siren coverage without rotating the horns. The system can be battery charged or hard-wired, and is rated at 125 dB at 100 ft.





Machine Data Now Just a Tap Away
Chuck Ross

In the not-so-distant past, manufacturing shows were led by advances in equipment – higher torque, say, or yet another axis in CNC cutting. Increasingly, though, software is becoming a leading selling point, especially the ability for greater networking – the Internet of things is moving onto the assembly line. And, even more importantly, that networking capability is now required across a much broader range of devices. In short, the move toward mobile-device dominance has moved to the manufacturing floor – and executive boardroom.





Simple Strategies to Reduce Energy
Andy Wakefield, M.SAME

In new construction, sustainable building practices are becoming the norm. But even in existing buildings, simple strategies can be implemented quickly and easily to address inefficiencies, reduce energy use, improve comfort, and enhance productivity in the space.
