The basic principle of PoE Power over Ethernet is a technology which enables electrical power to pass over Ethernet cabling at distances up to 100m. It is designed to provide end devices with sufficient power to operate with no need for a local power source.
This technology complements standard Ethernet communication; it does not affect the transmission of data throughout a network.

To say that the global manufacturing industry is undergoing an era of profound upheaval (or disruption) would be an understatement.
However, this disruption is not just symptomatic of the tectonic changes in the world of manufacturing, in many ways it will also prove to be its saviour. This whitepaper shows how disruption can come in many forms such as pressure from cheaper Chinese imports or even currency fluctuations, all of which have impacted on global manufacturing over the past two decades.

This whitepaper explains the concept of Engineered Service. Engineered Service comprises consultative elements such as a truly customized service plan that satisfies the intent of both OEM requirement and the Australian Standards without relying on “cookie-cutter” templates that artificially inflate the cost of service of customers’ equipment.
Engineered Service is specifically tailored for customers’ specific equipment, its specific use, its specific environment, and it will improve the safety, productivity and durability of the equipment maintained.

This whitepaper discusses the problems caused by uneven crane rails, non-tracking related crane runway issues and physical signs of crane rail and wheel wear. It then shows how MHE-Demag’s 3D crane runway survey is convenient, reduces downtime and saves the user time and money. The survey is remote control operated to avoid dangerous work near the runway tracks. It reduces downtime by identifying problems upfront and is only required as problems arise, which in turn saves more time.

Like most human endeavours, manufacturing evolves or changes over time. Occasionally these changes are more dramatic in nature, and within the context of the present, the change seems almost revolutionary in nature. Some would argue that manufacturing is in one of these seminal change phases today.
This whitepaper shows how manufacturing remains essential to our economic well-being. That aspect of manufacturing will not change. In many industrialised countries, the domestic manufacturing economic sector is thriving while the employment story for that sector is less certain.

This whitepaper shows how a majority of energy utility organisations across Australia and New Zealand are now using demand charges calculated in kVA (kilovolt ampere) as opposed to kW (kilowatt) based demand charges which were previously applied.
Demand charges based on kVA (or Apparent power) are a more accurate measure of the impact a customer’s peak demand has on the respective network, relative to a tariff based on kW (or real power). This pricing change provides an opportunity for the customer to take steps in improving the efficiency of electricity used on site and therefore reduce their bill. This can be done by improving the overall Power Quality. One such area is looking firstly at Power Factor.
