In most factories, power supplies are the last thing anyone thinks about—until they fail. But in 2025 and heading into 2026, aging 24VDC and 48VDC power supplies are quietly becoming one of the most common root causes of line stoppages, PLC communication errors, sensor dropouts, and unexplained equipment resets. The...
