System-wide standards provide
worker safety and product reliability, adherence to policies and
legislation,
interoperability among devices, and business benefits such as
efficiency,
profitability, and sustainability. In other words, system-wide
standards are
means to ensure quality among workers, processes, and products. In this
issue,
we focus on solutions that improve quality:
-
in products by standardizing
formulas
-
in safety by standardizing safety
relays across applications
-
in data by standardizing network
connectivity
-
in environment by standardizing
cable construction in harsh conditions
What do you do to improve
quality through system-wide
standards? We would like to hear from you. Email

Formula Management
Wonderware Recipe
Manager Plus
is designed for standardization of operational recipe management across
your
business; it reduces the number of recipe systems and formats,
increases
operational efficiency and establishes governance to secure consistent
quality
of your products.
A single safety relay for all of your safety applications
Safety goes
hand-in-hand with achieving system-wide standards. If safety
standards are properly executed production can increase due to
an environment
that values workers, the machinery, and the product. Safety relays
monitor a
safety system and can switch off quickly and reliable in an emergency.
ABB
Jokab Safety offers many safety solutions to keep you up with
requirements.
The RT6 universal
relay offers the most versatile input option available on the
market, so you can select the safety level required for each
installation.
These universal relays are ideal for use with typical safety devices
such as
emergency stops, gates/hatches and light curtains.
Gain greater control of your network using rugged, industrial managed switches with GB ports
The unique features
of Moxa's
industrial Ethernet switches enable nonstop network connectivity and
include
proven industrial design, seamless integrated security, and optimized
price-to-performance ratio. Built-in fast recovery Ethernet redundancy
also
ensures excellent availability for business continuity and
productivity.
Managed switches provide control of the traffic traveling over the switch. These features include:
Managed switches provide control of the traffic traveling over the switch. These features include:
- Quality of service - can ensure consistent network performance by assigning a higher priority to critical traffic
- Virtual LANs - allows a switch to group devices together to segment and isolate network traffic
- Redundancy - safeguards a network if a connection fails by providing an alternative data path
- Port Mirroring - to diagnosis problems without taking down the network
Cable Construction for Ethernet
Ethernet
cables have the
communication capability to connect devices, switches, and routers and
transmit
and receive data. To achieve system-wide standards of durability and
performance, especially from harsh plant floor conditions, use Turck
solutions
to find appropriate cable categories and type of twists that are
critical in
construction. Watch this Turck video explain how industrial Ethernet
cables are
better for the plant floor than commercial Ethernet cables.
