Industrial Robots come in all shapes & sizes. From part handling to welding, painting, packaging & quality control - there’s a Robot for that! Here’s an application we carried out for an #aerospace parts manufacturing project, w/t Toshiba robotics. #ControlSystems #Automation

Commissioning is where the magic happens! It's often the culmination of the overall mechanical & electrical design elements and the first time the 'concept' is proven. Documentation inc. P&IDs, electrical schematics/wiring diagrams can save hours here. #ControlSystems #Automation

That’s Moore’s Law right there ⬇️ A modern smartphone also has over 100,000 times the processing power and millions of times more memory than the computer used for the first moon landing in 1969.

Learning PLC Programming under pressure from customers, on live projects, isn't fun! So if you're looking to learn or improve your Mitsubishi PLC Programming & Software skills - this guy is worth a follow 👍 #plcprogramming #plcprogrammer #plcengineer #automation #controlsystems

The Hoover Dam is famous for its power generation - approx. 4 billion kilowatt-hours per year, equivalent to powering 1.3M homes. Although the Hydro Electric solution we supplied was considerably smaller, it still allowed accurate control and monitoring... 1/2 #ControlSystems

Getting production lines back up & running at an unearthly hour or PLC upgrades, in harsh environments, one single wire at a time… feels a million miles from ‘kinda chic’. But totally get the sentiment @Siemens Every solution should be ‘kinda chic’ to the end user. Love it.

“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life” Here’s Fred Dibnah, the legendary British steeplejack from Bolton, doing just that. In 1979 he took part in this iconic BBC documentary. #engineering #70s

The global industrial automation market is projected to grow significantly, expanding from USD 299.21 billion in 2026 to USD 632.12 billion by 2034 at a CAGR of 9.8%, driven by Industry 4.0 adoption, Industrial IoT, AI, and smart factory. #Automation #ControlSystems #UKmfg

Biometric switches safeguard #Automation by ensuring machinery access control to only those who are authorised. Here's a Schneider Harmony XB5S type we configured into a #ControlSystem for a #UKAutomotive manufacturer to ensure part quality was maintained during production.

Control Systems are everywhere! They keep the lights on, put food on the table and work tirelessly, un noticed everyday in millions of factories, production lines, warehouses & machinery. Many are completely bespoke, one offs, designed for a single application. #Automation

“There’s more than one way to skin a cat” There's also more than one way to track & sort items. Sortation systems are fast becoming ubiquitous. No longer the preserve of large Amazon warehouses - numerous small businesses are using this technology too. #ControlSystems #Automation

Pinch-in/Pinch-out (smartphone style) functionality now appears on @MEUSAutomation latest Mitsubishi GOT3000 HMIs. We’ve delivered many solutions using GOTs over the years & look forward to trying out this new functionality on projects ourselves 👀 #ControlSystems #Automation

RFID Systems are a great way for production processes to save costs, increase productivity and improve data accuracy. They also offer real time tracking - just as the Telemecanique RFID system does which we supplied and installed for a #UKmfg company. #ControlSystems #Automation

There are over 70 million Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) actively running across industries worldwide. Siemens 30% market share, followed by Allen Bradley 25% and Mitsubishi Electric 15%. The US has the lions share - nearly 23% of the world’s footprint 👊 #ControlSystems

Siemens OR Allen Bradley? Mitsubishi OR Schneider? All that EVER matters is what’s right for the end user ✅ Tailoring solutions to achieve this should ALWAYS be the goal, hence this setup for a machine builder using Schneider M221 PLC & Wecon HMI. #ControlSystems #Automation
