ADVERTORIALS
distributor for METER Group, is introducing the cost-effective HYDROS 21 Conductivity, Temperature and Depth Sensor for applications such as monitoring groundwater contamination and wastewater, desalination programmes, measuring saltwater intrusion, and monitoring surface water. This compact, robust yet accurate sensor self-corrects for atmospheric pressure, so there is no need for a separate barometric pressure sensor. Measuring just 34 mm diameter by 90 mm long, the head incorporates sensors for EC

(electrical conductivity), temperature and depth. Measurement ranges are: conductivities of 0 to 120 dS/m; depths from 0 to 10 m; and temperatures from 0 to 50°C. When the HYDROS 21 Conductivity, Temperature and Depth Sensor is connected to a
METER ZL6 Data-logger, users can access data remotely in near-real-time via the ZENTRA Cloud and any web browser. Thanks to the plug-and-play compatibility with the ZL6 Data- logger, the HYDROS 21 is extremely quick and simple to set up.

NEW 19” RACK MOUNT ENCLOSURES WITH SMOOTH TOP
M
ETCASE has launched a new version of its COMBIMET 19” rack cases. It has a wraparound top
that offers superior aesthetics and easier access to components. COMBIMET is METCASE’s bestselling 19” aluminium
enclosure. Applications include networking, communications, industrial computers, sound and studio, laboratory instruments and industrial control. The new version’s U-shaped top reduces the
number of case parts and removes the need for visible top screws. This new design combines the versatility of COMBIMET with the aesthetics of
METCASE’s VERSAMET 19” rack cases. Features also include ergonomic front handles and earth connection points on all panels. New solid top COMBIMET 19” is supplied unvented as standard, fully assembled and in
a choice of two colours: light grey (RAL 7035) and black (RAL 9005). It is currently available in one standard height (1U) and two depths: 265 mm and 365 mm. Custom sizes can also be specified. Accessories include a PCB mounting kit, PCB/panel fixing screws (M3), 19” mounting kits and mounting plates

SMC SUPPORTS A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO INDUSTRY 4.0
W
ith advances in technology, industrial
manufacturing is moving ahead at breakneck speed. Machines are becoming more efficient due to cutting edge developments in automation that bring improved performance and versatility. This - combined with the development of intelligent robots - means that smart machines are no longer a distant vision in the future. Today, these advances
have been grouped together and are now commonly referred to as Industry 4.0 – which some people consider as being the next industrial revolution. According to Bob Hitner,
Marketing Manager for SMC Pneumatics (UK) Ltd, this focus on Industry 4.0 is often confusing for many customers. “Most people can recognise the benefits of adopting an Industry 4.0 approach but “where do I start” is often their first question”. Some people are also getting increasingly frustrated with all the jargon and Industry
4.0 terminology – which seems to growing at an alarming rate. For example, are the “Internet of Things” (IoT) and “Connected Enterprise” the same as Industry 4.0? What’s considered big data and what’s not? What’s “Digital Production” and the “Individualisation of Products”? This is where SMC can help you. “We see Industry 4.0 as being a natural progression towards smarter manufacturing,
with smart machines incorporating smart components operating in smart factories. By taking this approach we help our customers in practical ways, to take a few small steps, to start them on their Industry 4.0 journey”. “In many cases the starting point is by adopting advanced sensors to measure and
monitor pressure or flow. By logging this performance data you can quickly detect any irregularities in your production process. This data can help you introduce preventative maintenance to minimise unplanned stoppages” concluded Hitner.
SMC advanced sensors with easy to read dual colour displays, with analogue and digital outputs back to your control system, give your production teams advance notice of issues that could affect your production processes.
SMC is committed to meeting the needs of its customers. With a standard product range exceeding 12,000 items SMC launches around 40 new products each year.
