An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
SKF units improve continuous-cast milling from
SKF UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Two SKF solutions have been developed to deliver benefits to continuous casting mills. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Dawn Mini Logger enables in-vehicle diagnostics from
HEM Data Corp: "HEM Data has introduced the Dawn Mini Logger, which fits within the mating OBD (J1962) connector under the dashboard for in-vehicle diagnostics. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Amplicon
- take a look at Web videos teach how to use Amplicon products
which says: "Amplicon has announced a new online video initiative to help customers configure and commission the company's products and technologies. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Watlow, Watlow's Profibus DP simplifies plant design,
as well as Savi provides wireless monitoring for shipment from Savi Technology,
and Rotork provides valve actuators for Severn Trent from Rotork Controls.
