The role of communications in the automation and remote control of distribution networks
Electric distribution companies have tens of thousands of transformation centers that perform the function of distributing electric power, taking meter readings from supply points, and that are responsible for maintaining and ensuring all the elements involved operate correctly. In order to fulfill this function, transformation centers use specific technologies that require automation and remote...
The importance of maintaining high air quality
The advent of COVID-19 has made us all keenly aware of the critical role of high air quality, with good ventilation to mitigate the risk of infection. Yet the need to avoid this risk was recognized well before the pandemic arose, and will remain just as important even after it eventually recedes. Continuous ventilation control will always be one of any building’s Facilities Management tasks. In...
Global chip shortage
Chip supply is critically endangered at an international level. The COVID-19 pandemic has distorted supply chains in the highly globalized semiconductor industry and shattered the economic forecasts of companies.
This has caused a shortage of components that affect all sorts of product manufacturing processes (especially technological ones).
Predictive maintenance in elevators via IoT
During 2021, the growth of the IoT market has stimulated the creation of new formulas for the application of this technology. Moreover, according to some analysts’ projections, the market could grow to as much as 11 trillion USD by the year 2025. To give you an idea, this figure is roughly equivalent to the combined GDP of Germany, Japan and France. For manufacturers, the constantly-evolving IoT...
CAD / CAM / CAE technologies
The acronym CAD comes from the English expression Computer Aided Design. It involves the use of computer technology to aid in the design of a product. In the case that concerns us now, it would involve designing housings for communications devices. In short, CAD is the drawing or graphical tool that replaces the traditional drawing board in drafting the design object. CAD, CAM, CAE CAM is an...
