All companies seek ways to make their businesses grow for the long-term. Ask any manufacturer today what he/she needs in an increasingly challenging economy. It's likely to include cutting costs, improving yield, increasing functionality and becoming more competitive in the global marketplace.

Manufacturing convergence helps companies meet these business drivers — globalization, innovation, productivity and sustainability — by more closely aligning manufacturing technologies and production system operations with the rest of the enterprise. This convergence is enabled throughout the manufacturing environment with the technologies of convergence — control, power, information and communication.]]> <![CDATA[IFS' Project-Based Solutions 3.0 gives users greater visibility and control of their business-critical projects]]> http://www.plantservices.com/vendors/products/2010/339.html?CMP=ILC-rss Tue, 27 Jul 2010 00:00:46 -0700 /vendors/products/2010/339.html <![CDATA[PCB Piezotronics' Model 352B70 accelerometers are designed for extreme vibration testing]]> http://www.plantservices.com/vendors/products/2010/337.html?CMP=ILC-rss Tue, 27 Jul 2010 00:00:45 -0700 /vendors/products/2010/337.html <![CDATA[Webcast: Operational excellence: Capitalizing on the economic recovery]]> http://www.plantservices.com/industrynews/2010/208.html?CMP=ILC-rss Tue, 27 Jul 2010 00:00:44 -0700 /industrynews/2010/208.html <![CDATA[Wood-burning power plants release more greenhouse gases than plant using coal ]]> http://www.plantservices.com/industrynews/2010/170.html?CMP=ILC-rss Tue, 27 Jul 2010 00:00:43 -0700 /industrynews/2010/170.html <![CDATA[Media roundtable discusses the Gulf oil spill and the future of American energy]]> http://www.plantservices.com/industrynews/2010/169.html?CMP=ILC-rss Tue, 27 Jul 2010 00:00:42 -0700 /industrynews/2010/169.html <![CDATA[Manufacturing technology consumption up 50.6% year-to-date]]> http://www.plantservices.com/industrynews/2010/172.html?CMP=ILC-rss Tue, 27 Jul 2010 00:00:41 -0700 /industrynews/2010/172.html <![CDATA[Maintenance and calibration of HART field instrumentation]]> http://www.plantservices.com/whitepapers/2010/023.html?CMP=ILC-rss Tue, 27 Jul 2010 00:00:40 -0700 /whitepapers/2010/023.html
To properly service these instruments, precision analog source/measure capability and digital communication are both required. Historically, this operation has required two separate tools, a calibrator and a communicator. Today, these capabilities are available in a single HART Documenting Process Calibrator that can help technicians quickly and effectively service a HART instrument workload.]]>
