Automation

Modern industrial manufacturing is dependent on intelligent automation and seamless data flow, from the factory floor to the control room. That’s why Triad is excited to introduce SICK’s groundbreaking SIG300 Universal IO-Link Master, a powerful solution designed to revolutionize how you connect, control, and optimize production.

In today's rapidly changing industrial landscape, many technologies are evolving to become faster and more reliable. EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) is no exception. This revolutionary fieldbus system is transforming how machines and processes interact, improving industrial automation and driving down costs.

Earlier this week, Triad attended the 10th Annual Ohio Craft Brewers Conference in Columbus, Ohio. Throughout the day visitors had the chance to visit a wide variety of vendors and distributors showcasing innovative technologies for the brewery industry. Triad was excited to be among these vendors, showcasing our top-of-the-line automation and industrial hose solutions for brewing.

In the world of manufacturing, precision is paramount. Every tiny movement of a machine needs to be carefully controlled and monitored to ensure consistent, high-quality performance and production. This is where encoders come in! Encoders are essentially sensors that convert physical motion into digital pulses or electrical signals. These signals can then be read by a control device, which is used to determine an object’s position, angle, and rotation counts – data that is crucial for machines moving exactly as they should.

Photoelectric sensors are a cornerstone of modern industrial automation, providing reliable detection solutions for a wide range of applications. However, sensor setup can be complicated and time-consuming, especially if you have traditional sensors that require manual configuration.

At Triad Technologies, we specialize in providing a wide range of high-quality sensors to meet your industrial automation needs. Whether you are selecting a proximity switch, light curtain, or limit switch, it's important to understand the fundamental differences between NPN and PNP types to ensure correct wiring and compatibility with the other components in your application.

IO-Link is a standardized communication protocol that connects and manages multiple devices used in industrial automation systems, providing real-time data to sensors and actuators. Recently, IO-Link Wireless has emerged as a popular choice for industrial automation applications due to its wireless design, reliable performance, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. However, as with any new technology, security is a critical concern. So how can you tell if IO-Link Wireless is a secure solution for you?

Triad Technologies is excited to announce that we are now an authorized Mech-Mind distributor. Founded in 2016, Mech-Mind is a leading innovator in high-speed, high-precision 3D cameras for industrial automation applications. They specialize in developing intelligent vision systems that combine powerful AI software with high-performance cameras. These solutions give your industrial robots and cobots the visual information they need to tackle complex tasks in real time.

For years, industrial automation has relied on a complex web of sensors, each requiring specific configurations and functionalities. But what if there was a single solution that could handle a vast array of detection tasks? Enter the SICK W10 sensor, a game-changer from SICK, the world leader in sensor solutions.

May is International Building Safety Month, a time to raise awareness about the importance of creating and maintaining safe facilities for everyone who uses them. At Triad Technologies, we understand the critical role building safety plays in industrial manufacturing. Safe buildings and equipment protect your employees, visitors, and assets, fostering a productive and secure environment and helping to keep your business moving (safely) for years to come.
