Start with the news release
Smart-Trak 2 wins Flow Control Magazine award from
Sierra Instruments, which we summarised at the time by saying "The readers of Flow Control Magazine have voted Sierra Instruments' Smart-Trak 2 with Compod as the winner of its Product Innovation Award.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Ingersoll Rand introduces desiccant dryers from
Ingersoll-Rand European Sales: "Ingersoll Rand has announced a range of desiccant dryers that includes two main configurations: heatless and with heated blowers. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Adept Electronic Solutions
- take a look at Boa camera suits harsh factory-floor environments
which says: "Adept Electronic Solutions is offering the Boa smart camera, an all-in-one vision system from Dalsa designed for harsh factory-floor environments.".
Take a look also at the news release from Parker Hannifin - Electromechanical and Drives Division, AC drives permit wider use of magnet motors,
as well as Trio adds interface to motion coordinator range from Trio Motion Technology,
and Drive module incorporates safe-torque-off feature from ABB Automation Tech (Drives and Motors).
