Len McGanity, Product Manager for ABB, explains the importance of Automatic Transfer Switches (ATSs) and how the latest generation of switches can save time and effort when installing critical power and fire safety systems.

The signals are clear: wireless communication in industrial applications will pave the way regardless of how this new era is labelled. Read on and see how Werma’s intelligent monitoring systems can help revolutionise the workplace.

Simple signals can be used to count parts, schedule production runs and maintenance, provide historical data and apply logic to existing machine statuses – and much more.

Connected vehicles are a manifestation of the Internet of Things (IoT) and securing the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is rapidly growing in importance. There are several areas of concern when it comes to securing a vehicle and the requirements are being heightened with the advent of autonomous cars.
