Dynamic fork light barriers – Detect standstill immediately
13 May 2013
Powelectrics now offers the most extensive range of fork sensors and fork light barriers that covers a wide variety of different fork widths and fork depths. The product's sensitivity can be adjusted using a potentiometer or teach key. Some models deliberately dispense with any unnecessary adjustment elements. The collimated transmitter light is available as infrared light, red light or red laser light. This makes it possible to satisfy a wide range of application requirements with great operating safety.

Energy Management
08 April 2013

The European Union has decreed that 20 percent of the overall domestic energy consumption must come from renewable energy sources by the year 2020. The EU guideline to this effect is also known as the RES Directive.

Intelligent Energy Management

The biggest challenge facing network operators is to guarantee stable network operation. One problem is to avoid a regional overload of the power grid during high power feed-in. This can only be accomplished by intelligent  energy management that enables remote control of load shut-down or load reduction to prevent damage to the power grids.

Remote Fuel Management
25 March 2013

Remote Fuel Management Systems verify deliveries, catches thieves, places orders automatically and much more.

With the cost of fuel continually increasing the need to manage fuel stocks has never been greater, and when the business is reliant on delivery vehicles then the volume of fuel used and fuel availability is critical to ensure you continue to hit service levels and create value for your customers.

Leading Mail Distributor 

A leading mail distributor has over 250 depots scattered across the UK and with fuel being purchased and managed centrally, there was a daily requirement for the depots to provide manual stock levels so they could order in time. When deliveries did occur there was no way of making sure the volume matched up with the invoice, or that it happened at the right time. The depots are busy places and it was no good if tankers arrived to fill the tanks when the vans were all filling up ready to go out on their rounds.

New Metal Detector System provides optimal Protection for Machines and Plants
05 March 2013

Industrial Metal Detectors can reliably detect metal pieces and prevent damage to machines in industrial production processes. It is possible to tune out permanently installed metal components, such as metal frames or sheet metal panels close to the detector so that they do not interfere with the sensing, but this can reduce the sensitivity.

Communication between controllers and intelligent sensors made easy
18 October 2012

Due to the large variety of bus systems in factory automation, many system integrators are faced with the dilemma of choosing the "right" system, a decision that can have far-reaching consequences.

For this reason, Panasonic developed a solution for transferring data between controllers and the sensors required. Up until now, communication between intelligent sensors and controllers has been realized via serial or parallel interfaces built into the sensors. At the same time, simple sensors capable of displaying the digital status of 1 or 0 only were developed for one specific fieldbus type. That is all part of the past now!
