The role of industrial wearables in ensuring occupational safety

A safe and secure work environment is essential for employees and employers. All industrial units, big or small, must incorporate safety in their work premises. Wearable technology allows industries to monitor and maintain the safety of employees on the shop floor. Sensors driven by the widespread use of IIoT and wireless technology allows increasing number of industrial devices or equipment incorporating features such as ultra-compact, high-accuracy, harsh media resistant, and power efficient solution. They are vital to the Industry 4.0 as they increase operational efficiency, optimise business processes, and reduce downtime. We will discuss in this article the relevance of industrial wearables, key communication and localisation techniques, and the role of wearables in ensuring occupational safety.

Benefits of a dedicated flux remover vs IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol)

IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) and solvent based Flux Removers are two different types of cleaning agents used in electronics industry, but they serve different purposes.

Flux is a material used in soldering to help facilitate the flow of solder and improve the quality of the solder joint. However, flux residue can be conductive and corrosive, and if not removed, it can cause electrical shorts, corrosion, and other issues.

Top 10 sensors used in smart manufacturing Top 10 sensors used in smart manufacturing

Sensors are essential to smart manufacturing. A smart sensor collects data on the physical environment and transmits it to centralised cloud computing platforms. This collected data is then processed and analysed. They allow seamless connectivity inside any automated manufacturing plant. Sensors in Industry 4.0 detect many transitions, such as changes in position, displacement, temperature, and pressure in industrial production

Temperature & pressure monitoring for industrial boilers

Industrial boilers are used for many different applications in numerous sectors, including paper and pulp, food and beverage, and so on, with the main product being processed steam. Industrial boiler operation can vary significantly between seasons, daily, and even hourly, depending upon the demand for steam. Because the operational period of these industrial boilers increases over time, the temperature and pressure rises continuously. As a result, using industrial temperature and pressure sensors to precisely monitor the temperature and pressure of the equipment in real-time can detect issues early and prevent safety accidents. This article will review how temperature and pressure monitoring works in industrial boilers.
