A valve actuator can be explained as any device that utilises a source of power to control the functioning of a valve. This source of power can be anything – a human operating a manual gearbox, or it can be a smart electronic device with smooth control and measuring features. With the growth of micro-circuitry, the function of an actuator has become more sophisticated. Traditional valve actuators were essentially a geared motor with position sensing switches. Modern-day valve actuators have more advanced capabilities. They not only perform functions of opening and closing valves but can also check on the functional status and well being of a valve as well as offer predictive maintenance data Some physical locations are hazardous or precarious to human beings. In these circumstances, an automated controlling device can mitigate the risk to the individuals involved. In some situations, critical valves need to be controlled in situations of emergency circumstances. The valve actuator c...

IoT (Internet of Things), IIoT ( Industrial Internet of Things ) , and Industry 4.0 – all of these are essential terms in the current industrial ecosystem. So, it’s important to eradicate the misunderstandings surrounding each of these terms and outline the advantages organisations can avail by critically understanding them. IIoT – or Industry 4.0 – refers to linking and connecting machines on centralised data management platforms, which in turn boosts the productivity and efficiency of these devices. IIoT and Industry 4.0 have enabled the possibility of developing ‘smart factories.’ Understanding these terms in a few sentences is close to impossible, which makes it important to understand the various subcategories of these technologies. The Cloud   Cloud computing refers to making computer system data – especially storage and other forms of data – readily available on demand without direct active management by the user. Shifting from conventional methods of storage to cloud ...
