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...

Unplanned downtime remains one of the fastest ways to exhaust a maintenance budget. But in 2026, more plants are finally shifting from “run it till it breaks” to smarter, data-driven...
In 2026, the fastest-growing cause of production downtime isn’t failed drives, blown power supplies, or aging motors—it’s the communication networks tying everything together. As factories evolve into interconnected ecosystems of...
If the last few years have taught manufacturers anything, it’s this: relying entirely on overseas lead times is a liability. Between global tariff swings, semiconductor shortages, shifting trade routes, and...
With global trade tensions escalating and tariff rates climbing across multiple categories of industrial equipment in 2025, manufacturers across the U.S. are feeling the impact where it hurts most: sourcing...
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....
