Thanks to Industrial Automation, manufacturing has come a long way since it’s beginning. Automation started with Eli Whitney, well-known for his creation of the innovative cotton gin. What many don’t know is he also perfected interchangeable parts for manufacturing, which proved useful when he had to build 10,000 muskets for the U.S. Army in 1799. In 1910, Henry Ford took the manufacturing process to the next level.

Reductions in maintenance staff and spare parts inventory often lead to longer downtime and lost revenue when your assets malfunction or fail. To minimize downtime and keep production lines running, you need a reliable service partner that you can trust to provide quality repairs when you need them. CBT and partner Rockwell Automation offer high-quality repair services dedicated to fixing your industrial equipment problems with a seven-step remanufacturing process.
When it comes to safety in the modern automation environment, there are two big reasons that leaders should strive to be the best they can be. First, and most obviously, the safety of your most important assets; your staff, your customers and your brand are at stake. That’s true whether you are in charge of an oil platform or a consumer product manufacturing plant.

In today’s age of high-efficiency production and processing, thousands of dollars’ worth of automation and monitoring devices and equipment rely on robust cabling solutions to work properly. To ensure reliable signal transmission, you need cabling designed, tested, and proven to meet your application’s high-performance standards.
Today you are leaving for vacation – a little spot you found just a few hours away. It is early in the day, the roads are open, and the weather is great. You turn on the cruise control: there is no need to keep your foot on the pedal to keep the car moving. You let the electronics and mechanics of the vehicle do all the work. Now you can relax and enjoy the drive! Using a bypass contactor with your soft starter is very similar.
