We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Remote Access",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Weighing system handles 500 tonne silo from
AV Technology Silo-Weigh, which we summarised at the time by saying "Conventional content measurement methods struggle to provide acceptable data for silos as large as the one at Pilkington's Greengate flat glass manufacturing site".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Control system automates sauna facilities from
Mitsubishi Electric Automation Systems: "Mitsubishi Electric control systems work unobtrusively in the background to keep all the spa equipment and facilities operating perfectly".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Moog Controls
concerning its Moog digital interface valve
- take a look at Hydraulic valve allows easy customisation
which says: "Even with advanced electronics on board, the Moog digital interface valve is designed to withstand the temperature and vibration requirements of demanding applications".
Take a look also at the news release from Sixnet, Switch and modem combo manages remote network,
as well as Automation products co-operate to boost speeds from Echelon,
and Blender controller enters distributed control mix from Jiskoot.
