Webinar: Introducing groov
Wednesday, August 14th, 11:00 - 11:45 am
Would you like to easily create operator interfaces for your automation systems and use then on ANY computer, tablet, or smartphone?
Then join us for a short webinar on groov - described as a "game changer", "addicting", and "fun" by those who've used it.
In this short webinar, ACS and Opto 22 will present:
- What is groov and why yo uneed it now
- How to create and view operator interfaces with groov
- How groov works on virtually any browser-based computer, tablet, smartphone - even HDTV
- Security: choices for securely adding groov to your facility or machine archetecture
- Live demo of groov in action
Attend and Win! All attendees will be entered into a drawing for a 16-GB iPod touch. The winner will be announced at the end of the webinar and must be present to win.

 Industrial RFID Becomes Just Another I/O Point
Balluff's IO-Link based RFID simplify network topology and reduces cost per ID point 
Imagine you could connect your RFID system to your network just as easily as connecting your discrete I/O -- without adding any additional cost. Balluff's IO-Link based RFID systems do just that. The IO-Link protocol allows the user to connect a complex device such as an RFID processor to an industrial network via a gateway using standard discrete sensor wiring -- it's a simple plug and play operation.
Simplify your network topology and PLC setup by using the IO-Link block which treats the RFID data like standard I/O points.
Reduce your costs by running multiple RFID readers off one I/O block using standard, 3-conductor sensor cables.

 At-a-glance Wireless Monitoring of your Factory Floor
Go beyond visual alerts to increase productivity and reduce costs 
Werma's Wireless Information Network (WIN) gives you complete view of the performance of all your machines on the factory floor remotely on your PC. WERMA wireless solutions can be installed with minimum effort, are easy to operate and can be flexibly used. A single, easy-to-understand graphic interface shows you exactly what's happening at all times. You can even have WIN send emails with status updates.
WIN incorporates many features that you'd expect to find only in a costly SCADA system. WIN tracks and charts your machine performance over time, so you can identify error patterns to increase efficiency, or analyze run-time in order to identify bottlenecks and optimize your production flow.
 Win is easy to use and inexpensive. Simply install a WIN transmitter into your existing WERMA stack light, or retrofit your equipment with one of their convenient kits. No additional wiring is needed.
- React quickly to malfunctions
- Improve machines productivity and efficiency
- Use your existing WERMA Signal Towers
