Automation Equipment

In today’s industrial environment, the quest for greater efficiency, productivity, quality control and inventory management is practically universal. As a result, the need for more efficient control of equipment such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), robots, process control equipment, temperature monitoring systems, barcode scanners, scales and mixing stations is increasing dramatically.

With high speeds and the ability to simultaneously support multiple fieldbus protocols Ethernet is rapidly gaining momentum in industrial automation. Lantronix products enable manufacturers to take advantage of Ethernet to remotely monitor, manage and control equipment over the network or Internet. This improves efficiency by providing real-time access and control of all types of industrial automation equipment from virtually anywhere.

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing power, distribution, and specialty transformers; electric motors, generators, and motor generator sets; switchgear and switchboard apparatus; relays; and industrial controls. Electrical equipment manufactures distribute their products to other manufacturing industries as well as wholesalers and the construction industry. Other manufacturing industries use the products as inputs for their finished goods. Materials used in the production of industry goods include metal, plastic and rubber.

The major products and services in this industry are:

• Relays and Industrial Controls
• Motors and generators
• Switchgear and switchboard apparatus
• Power Distribution and Specialty Transformers
