Power quality issues are one of the most common—and most misunderstood—causes of equipment failure in industrial automation. Modern VFDs and PLCs are efficient but far more sensitive than their predecessors. Even small distortions in the electrical supply can cause nuisance trips, CPU resets, I/O instability, motor failures, and unpredictable downtime....

A comprehensive technical guide to diagnosing FR-A800 drive issues — including motor tuning, load-related trips, braking resistor sizing, and electrical noise mitigation. Table of Contents Introduction How the FR-A800 Detects...
Manufacturing is no longer simply competing on price or output—plants are now being reshaped by global tariffs, labor shortages, supply-chain disruptions, and rising modernization costs. And while automation has been...
Mitsubishi’s FX series has been the backbone of countless small and mid-sized machines. In 2025, most engineers are deciding whether to stay with the proven FX3U or move to the newer...
Unplanned downtime has always been expensive, but 2025 has created a new reality for manufacturers: reactive maintenance is now the costliest strategy you can have. Factories across the U.S. are shifting...
When an HMI stops responding, flickers, or boots into a blank screen, it’s tempting to immediately order a replacement. But many HMI “failures” are fixable for a fraction of the...

to (and why you should too) When you’re running a manufacturing plant, every minute, every square foot of storage, every dollar tied up in inventory — even if it “just...
In industrial automation, the need for a replacement part doesn’t respect borders. A failed ABB drive in Germany or a discontinued Omron sensor in Brazil can trigger an urgent international...
In industrial automation, legacy isn’t vintage—it’s mission-critical. That 1998 Allen-Bradley PLC/5, SIMODRIVE 611, or early-generation SINAMICS S120 isn’t “old”; it’s the pulsing core of a multimillion-dollar production line. When OEM...
Even as Industry 4.0 drives a wave of connected factories and smart analytics, many production lines still rely on proven legacy hardware. These systems—robust, familiar, and field-serviceable—remain the backbone of...
Supply chains aren’t predictable anymore — they’re volatile ecosystems where component shortages, extended lead times, and freight delays have become routine. For manufacturers, that means one reality: if you don’t...
In industrial automation, downtime costs thousands per hour — and replacing entire control systems can cost millions. That’s why many facilities turn to refurbished automation parts as a smart, budget-conscious...
When a variable frequency drive (VFD) or servo amplifier reaches end-of-life, finding a direct replacement isn’t as simple as matching horsepower. It’s a precise engineering decision that impacts control performance,...
Downtime is one of the most expensive words in manufacturing. Every minute a production line sits idle because of a failed or missing part means lost revenue, missed deadlines, and...
Maintenance is no longer just about fixing what breaks—it’s about predicting what will. In 2025, forward-thinking manufacturers are using data-driven insights to move from reactive maintenance to predictive strategies that...
Lead times are stretching, costs are rising, and production deadlines aren’t slowing down. When an OEM quotes 8–12 weeks for a replacement drive or PLC, that’s not just a delay—it’s...
A drive fault like F005 often points to DC bus overvoltage or braking issues—decode it before it becomes downtime. When a motor drive suddenly flashes a fault code, production stops...
A control system refresh can bring order, reliability, and performance — without a full reprogramming effort. Modernizing an aging control system doesn’t have to mean starting from scratch. Across U.S....
