Wouldn’t it be great to have a bubble of protection (or a force field if you will) around your Machine?
Stopping all outside influences from damaging all your hard work…

For the last two weeks, we have been busy. The old technical wall has been demolished and a new wall has been constructed in its place. Why? You might ask. Not only do we update the demonstration wall every so often to show new products, we also thought this time it would be more suited to be more than just a showroom. So we decided to create the Smart Networks wall (cue unveiling music). This allows us to give more of a service towards yourself and the needs of an application.
As we find all too often, not everybody is aware of how vast the Phoenix Contact range of products is. This was a great opportunity for everyone involved in all aspects of engineering to see what we can do and discuss applications and possible solutions. It was a great success and a huge thank you to anyone that had any kind of engagement with the show, you could not beat the buzz of the open days a t the NEC.

Quick question? Do you know who is looking at your data on-site or remotely?
With the recent events in the Ukraine can you afford to take that risk? The December 23rd outage at the Prykarpattaoblenergo Power plant in the western region of Ukraine suffered a scenario that few organisations would want to experience.

Supporting your customers and their production can be a costly, complicated and time consuming task. Sending engineers on site is expensive and inefficient.
The mGuard Secure Cloud solves these problems with an easy, cost effective and reliable solution for OEMs and Machine builders, allowing them to communicate directly with machines anywhere in the world, in a secure way.

More and more people are managing machines and plants remotely due to time and the costs involved of being on site every time there is a potential problem. This is particularly crucial during the commissioning phase of a new installation where time is money!
I discuss this subject on a regular basis with customers who want a simple and easy to manage way of implementing remote access. They have enough to think about without adding to the workload or cost of a project. Remote access is not a new thing, but up to now it has been either limited in functionality or complex to configure.
