Mitsubishi and Raima create secure data-handling process
Controlling and managing a complex system is difficult at any time. However, users in the process (for example, water, petro-chemical) and infrastructure industries such as surface rail, airports or underground metro systems have the added complexities of having to do the same over extreme distances with the possibility of thousands of I/O points.

IM Series speeds up and simplifies inspections for Timex
Keyence´s IM Series image dimension measurement system puts much faster in-process inspection within everyone´s reach. Timex is America´s leading watchmaker and is present in more than 80 countries. Fralsen, its French entity, makes watch movements using three technologies – plastic injection moulding of small parts with very fine details; turning and cutting of parts such as wheels, pinions, arbors and rivets; and cutting and coiling of complex springs. These precision parts must be inspected with contact sensors (comparators, Cary equipment, feeler-spindles) and optical systems.

Flexibility and reliability for airflow control unit enclosures
When designing and manufacturing airflow controls and temperature-monitoring equipment for laboratories, there is very little margin for error. A flux in temperature can cause thousands of pounds worth of damage to materials and a faulty fume cupboard can pose very serious health risks. To ensure its products do not fail, Temperature Electronics Ltd. has found that when specifying enclosures it is best to stick with a single company which offers a flexible and reliable range.
