In industrial automation, predictions about the future often assume a clean break from the past. New platforms replace old ones. Digital systems overtake analog. Legacy equipment fades out as smarter technology takes over. That narrative has never matched reality on the plant floor. And it will not match reality in...

“Rip and replace” sounds decisive. It suggests a clean break from old problems and a fast path to improvement. In industrial automation, that mindset is appealing, especially when legacy systems...
In industrial automation, few phrases trigger faster reactions than “end of life.” For many teams, it sounds like a countdown clock has started, and replacement is unavoidable. In reality, the...
When engineers or buyers evaluate an industrial drive, the first number everyone sees is the purchase price. It is easy to compare, easy to justify, and easy to plug into...
In industrial manufacturing, equipment decisions rarely happen in calm conditions. A controller faults during second shift. A drive trips intermittently and clears before anyone can trend it. An operator station...
In modern manufacturing, uptime is not just a performance metric — it’s a business requirement. Yet many control systems still contain hidden weaknesses that can take an entire line, cell,...

When a production-critical automation part fails, and the OEM quotes a 26-week lead time, you’re not dealing with routine maintenance—you’re dealing with a continuity event. The goal isn’t just to...
When a line goes down, the clock starts immediately. Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) is the average time it takes to diagnose a failure, restore function, verify operation, and get...

For plant managers, maintenance leaders, and controls engineers: In a world where lead times are long, tariffs are high, and factory downtime is more expensive than ever, choosing the right...
Industrial Automation
Automation is often treated as a one-way upgrade path: more connectivity, more intelligence, more layers, more software, more integration. And in many cases, that’s exactly what delivers better performance. But...
Indsutrial Automation
Most factories don’t suffer from a lack of automation. They suffer from too much of it — specifically, too many different platforms, vendors, generations, and architectures layered on top of...
Downtime is expensive, stressful, and usually predictable in hindsight. The hard truth: most emergency failures don’t become disasters because the part is rare—they become disasters because the right part isn’t...
Plenty of factories run on equipment that’s 10, 20, or even 30 years old — and they run just fine. So why is modernization such a big topic right now?...
Industrial automation failures rarely happen without warning. Long before a drive trips permanently, a PLC locks up, or an HMI goes dark, small signs usually appear—often dismissed as “quirks” or...
Few problems bring production to a halt faster than a communication failure. When PLCs lose I/O, drives drop offline, or HMIs stop updating, the system may still be powered—but it’s...
Industrial automation hardware is designed to be rugged—but it is not immune to poor electrical conditions. Voltage sags, spikes, harmonics, and transient noise can quietly cause drive faults, PLC resets,...
Unexpected downtime rarely starts with a dramatic failure. More often, it begins with a “small” issue: a drive that faults intermittently, an HMI that freezes during changeovers, a power supply...
In most factories, power supplies are the last thing anyone thinks about—until they fail. But in 2025 and heading into 2026, aging 24VDC and 48VDC power supplies are quietly becoming...
