  • Cover story: Energy management
    -
    Ever since manufacturers started migrating far beyond North American borders, those remaining at home have had no choice but to be more effective, more efficient, leaner and greener. Energy management has two parts: measuring how much energy is consumed, where and at what times; and then doing something about it. You can't have one without the other, though some have tried.
    Michelle Mora explores the processes and players involved in successful energy management strategies – and highlights companies who are getting it right.

  • Feature: Wireless technology & security
    Manufacturing AUTOMATION columnist, Ian Verhappen, discusses the security side of the ISA 100 as well as WirelessHART standards.
