Happy #International #Women in #Engineering Day! This occasion is the perfect time to reaffirm our commitment to fostering an inclusive culture and achieving gender equality in our workplace. It’s also a great opportunity to acknowledge the courage and curiosity of women in #technology and #engineering related positions and beyond who have contributed to our success through their hard work, dedication, and drive for progress and #innovation.   We’ve seen a significant shift over the decades, with more women stepping into roles traditionally dominated by men. In recent years, ABB have welcomed an increasing number of women into the Process #Automation workforce as #engineers, #technologists, #scientists, and leaders. However, the journey needs to continue, with #women today representing 21.2% of ABB's business area employees, after 20.3% a year earlier.

The gap to the door frame post and the cabin door edges are a critical aspect of routine maintenance. The lower edge of the car door is lightly secured on the sill via the guide shoe, while the upper portion is suspended from the door mechanism. Due to the inherent off-center gravity of the car sling, the door tends to lean to one side. Over time, as the door repeatedly opens and closes, the gap between the door panel and the car door post—particularly in the lower two-fifths—becomes increasingly difficult to adjust. If the gap is minimized excessively, there is a risk that the uppermost fifth of the door might begin to rub against the frame. Consequently, in an effort to expedite the maintenance process, many technicians opt for a cursory adjustment, followed by affixing a warning label to indicate the potential issue.

The automation agenda: Unlocking potential and building resilience May 21, 2024 By David Morgenstern, Accenture Canada Canada is on the cusp of seismic change in manufacturing. Innovative technologies, advancements in sustainability and a new generation of talent are reshaping the industry. They’re also creating new opportunities for Canadian companies to scale and build resiliency through technology. This change is desperately needed after several years of historic disruption. Geopolitical unrest, high energy prices, rising materials costs and demand fluctuations during the pandemic – each of these and more have challenged businesses like never before. Globally, businesses missed out on more than $2 trillion CAD in revenue growth, according to a recent Accenture report. These disruptions have also exposed dangerously low levels of resiliency within engineering, supply chains, manufacturing and operations.  As a result, businesses are taking action to rebalance operations closer to home, localizing sourcing and production, to reduce risk and cost. By 2026, 73 percent of Canadian companies plan to buy key items from regional supplies, while 91 percent plan to produce and sell most products in the same region. For years, Canada has had a reputation for producing high-quality, precision-engineered goods, while developing cutting-edge technologies and processes such as automation, but as global demand calls for even faster innovation, Canadian manufacturers will need to take action not just to gain competitive advantages

Manufacturing Automation – Gee whiz Lacking a childlike amazement for new technology in automation, doesn't make you a Luddite! -- “Depending on the organization, the in-house team is unlikely to have the breadth of cross industry – cross applications experience that a 3rd party systems integrator will have accumulated over many projects, in many industries, along with the rigorous project management procedures which all work to make a properly specified, custom automation project less risky and ultimately profitable. In short, an integrator often makes it look easy because they have done it before!” -- How do you filter out the "amazing" from your automation?

We are now on the post-IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) phase, where most companies have made investments to build the connected infrastructure and are now building the applications and solutions that will deliver the benefits of IIoT. It is always inspiring to see what our customers are building with our products. The article below published by Control Global highlights how Inter Pipeline expanded their system to deal with their growing demand at minimum cost. https://lnkd.in/gxaK6cUb

Where most organizations neglect and put aside Metering Especially in Canada The quality and the reliability of the suppliers they use Spending hundreds of millions of dollars, either tax payers or corporate, on legacy companies just because "they've been around for a while" won't solve the issue Quality and reliability are not only key but can alleviate and prevent issues such as these Also, the cheapest Meters are not necessarily the best or most quality or reliable ones Get good quality and reliable Meters, whether you're in the Institutional, MURB, Industrial, Agricultural, Government, Retail, Hospitality or any other market or space Because if you don't, you and your clients and perhaps tax payers (in this case) will pay for it
