You’ll read about intelligent UPS systems that can think ahead when it comes to power reliability, along with solar-powered VFDs that are changing the way industrial pumping systems approach sustainability. We also explore how compact PLCs are making a big impact—from powering connected smart manufacturing at the edge and in the cloud, to deliver impressive results in green energy, building automation, and industrial applications.

This edition also dives into motion and control solutions that boost efficiency, precision pneumatic pressure monitoring for robotics and automation, and modular pushbutton systems that make control panel design more flexible and easier to manage. Rounding things out, we look at contactless power and data transmission technologies that reduce wear and maintenance while improving reliability.

Together, these articles highlight a common theme: smarter design, lower energy use, and systems built to last. We hope this issue gives you fresh ideas, practical insights, and a clearer view of where industrial technology is headed.
