Couch Potato Power! Not Just For Sleeping Anymore
Got a call the other night about 1:00 o'clock in the morning. I had to
go into the plant to troubleshoot an electrical problem. When I finally
made it back home, I crashed on the couch, worn out, too tired to even
take off my boots.
I lay there for a little bit, and finally fell
asleep. Needing to get up at 6 the next day, I put my phone on the arm
of the couch with the alarm clock set.

No More Dials: Timing Controls Are Getting Smart
If you live in or near popular seasonal resort and vacation areas,
you’ve likely noticed an uptick in the local residential real estate
market – both for buyers and longer-term renters. Nationally, the
second-home market is enjoying a boom, as higher-end homeowners are
seeking escapes from more urban areas that have experienced higher rates
of COVID-19 transmission.

When the Table Are Turned … You Still Have Power
About 15 years ago, a friend of mine and I remodeled a vending room
area. It used to be full of snack machines and microwaves lined up
around 3 walls. We turned that area into a nifty conference room. Ronnie
did the carpentry work, building a very nice U shaped workspace around
an open area where the speaker would stand.

Access Floor Cable Management Could Make COVID-Related Office Changes Easier
U.S. companies have spent the last decade or so following the lead of
tech firms in opening up office space and bringing workers closer
together. Now, the COVID-19 pandemic is forcing that approach into
question. When employees start coming back to offices in large numbers,
those workplaces may need to be rethought, to both improve safety and
boost worker confidence. These changes could underscore the importance
of taking a flexible approach to electrical and data cable management.

Integrated Panel Solutions – Power and Pneumatics
I've designed and built control boxes on several occasions. The
resulting component did the job, and I did my best to make it look
professional. After all, that's kind of a trademark of mine. You don't
just stuff things in a box and call it good. You need to take pride in
your work!
Most of the time, it was just a box of electric and
electronic controls. Cube relays, VFDs, and sometimes a PLC, placed in a
stainless steel enclosure, often with the front window panel.

Utility-Scale Solar: Why Cable Management Matters
Despite hurdles posed by the ongoing pandemic, solar projects have
continued to come online over the course of this year, according to the
Solar Energy Industries Association. Utility-scale installations totaled
2.5 gigawatts (GW) in 2020’s second quarter, a Q2 record, and an
additional 62.5 GW worth of projects is now under contract, with 13.5 GW
of that currently under construction.
