EMKA – Taking Security to the Server Rack

A

ccess security experts at EMKA point out that current data centre security practices rely on three things to ensure the protection of data. First, keeping a thief out of the building; second, monitoring the system to detect the removal of a hard drive; finally, encrypting the data on that hard drive so that if the first two fail, the hardware is still useless to the thief. Despite these efforts, data theft still occurs with some frequency, which is why companies need to consider a change in their strategy, such as biometric security.

EMKA believe that by implementing biometric technology at a different level of operations, such as the server rack

itself, companies can optimize their security and establish a new line of defence that doesn’t interrupt workflow.

Installing a fingerprint scanner on the server rack door handle won’t affect building access or other factors, but ensures that only authorized personnel can actually open the rack and remove hardware.

This ensures security regardless of whether a thief manages to bypass the other security measures. Furthermore, it protects a company from theft by its own employees – one of the leading causes of data breaches seen worldwide.

Of course, as firms deploy server rack security solutions they may see other ways to improve their building access control with

biometrics. By starting at a basic point of entry and deploying a high-quality biometric solution, a company can see the results and build from there, implementing biometrics where needed and avoiding a single large-scale investment that may not be cost effective immediately.

EMKA/Digitus Biometric solutions offer top of the line security for any company, but in the data centre it is particularly beneficial, providing front line protection for valuable or critical with information which is quickly becoming the currency of this digital age.

Modular linear axes from igus for custom linear drives Configure toothed belt axes from a wide range of lengths and widths With the new drylin ZLW modular system igus offers even more versatility and designing freedom for engineers - widths, rail distances and materials of the ready-to-install axes can be assembled according to your requirement.

“Ready to install linear robots are becoming very popular in machine and plant manufacturing,” says Robert Dumayne, director, igus “Off-the-shelf solutions that fit exactly to the applications requirements are not always available and, if they are, come with a high price tag. The drylin ZLW system allows engineers to configure their own solution - width, rail distances and length of the axes can be adapted quickly and easily.”

Due to the low profile of the toothed belt axes, even tight installation spaces are accommodated. In addition, users can order the support blocks, rails and carriages made of aluminium or stainless steel.

The stainless steel system is of particular interest for applications in the food industry, which is unique when considering standard ‘off-the-shelf’ items. A maximum service life is possible when used in combination with liners made of iglidur E7. The linear guides can also be supplied with the igus motor as standard Due to the new installation size ZLW-20, loads up to 75 kg can be lifted, with maximum stroke lengths of up to 3 metres. The wide drive belt also permits high speeds of more than 5 m/s depending on the load.

The polyurethane toothed belt with steel cable reinforcement is set centrally on the carriage at the required belt tension. Underwater applications are also possible with a special belt.

Grooved ball bearings ensure a robust support and greater energy efficiency. Quiet and a long service life even in continuous operation make the ready to install solutions interesting for numerous applications, such as the most varied handling tasks in the food or laboratory technology. Due to the open design, the linear axes are easy to clean and also insensitive to dirt.

Atlas Copco introduces new compact, low maintenance F range refrigerant dryers Atlas Copco has introduced its new F range of professional refrigerant dryers that combine reliable, energy-efficient performance and a low maintenance requirement. This range has been designed with a simple space-saving vertical concept for easy plugand-play installation. The new F range of refrigerant dryers has been developed for compressor applications where air quality is less critical, therefore requiring a lower initial investment than for more advanced dryer solutions. The simple, vertical design provides ready access for servicing and contributes to lower maintenance costs. The compact 0.21 m2 footprint allows for easy installation into an existing air system, with the dryers suitable for a wide variety of dry air applications; such as pneumatic tools and controls, painting, packaging and injection moulding, together with vehicle maintenance including tyre inflation. In addition, thanks to their stable pressure dewpoint, as low as 7°C/45°F, the dryers are ideally suited for applications requiring ISO 8573 Class 5 air qualit.

The F range dryers remove residual moisture from compressed air by cooling it down close to freezing point, condensing the water, which is then automatically drained. The dry air is warmed before leaving the unit via an air-to-air heat exchanger with an integrated water separator thus ensuring a constant flow of air without moisture content to prevent corrosion damage to pipework, tools and equipment, increasing their lifetime while minimising the risk of costly leaks in compressed air pipework.

The full range comprises twelve models in total: seven, the F5, F10, F15, F20, F30, F40, F50 and F60, have a maximum working pressure of 16 bar and an air treatment capacity ranging from 5 to 60 l/s respectively. The other five models are the F70, F90, F110 and F130, with a working pressure of 13 bar and throughputs from 70 to 130 l/s. The F5 up to F50 units operate with R134a refrigerant, while the remainder of the range utilises R404A refrigerant.

A major component of the F-range dryers is the hot gas bypass valve, which safeguards capacity and maintains constant pressure in the evaporator to prevent freezing, even in extreme production environments.

Other important features include the timer drain that ensures complete removal of the condensate, and the refrigerant filter that is designed to protect the capillary tube from dirt particle blockage and contamination.

The F-range fits well within the existing portfolio of refrigerant dryers. This added new range contributes to the comprehensive offering of compressed air dryers

by Atlas Copco Compressors.

Enhancing Performance Through Accredited Training There is a distinct focus at present on industry’s proactive approach to apprentice training, to provide the skills that our manufacturing companies will need in the future.

However, ongoing training in the wide range of disciplines engineers find themselves working within is essential.

This serves not only to hone existing skills and provide individuals with the tools for personal development, but helps to maximise productivity and efficiency through increased knowledge and additional skills.

The challenging economic conditions within which manufacturers currently operate mean that the highest levels of efficiency are essential to maintain what are often tight margins. Unexpected breakdowns and the resultant downtimes will quickly eat into efficiency levels, therefore it is essential that stoppages are dealt with rapidly. This can only be achieved if those responsible for maintenance and repair have the appropriate diagnostics and remedial training. Conscious of the negative effects that lack of training can have, Altec Engineering Group company Quick Hydraulics now offers City & Guilds accredited hydraulic training courses from its North Shields base. Managing Director Andrew Esson reiterated the importance of quality training.

“The power of training cannot be underestimated. As the industry adapts to tricky conditions, companies armed with the best people are more likely to weather the storm with minimal disruption. While cuts are being made in other functions, learning and development cannot suffer.

An investment in employees now will pay dividends.”

The company runs a series of three day Hydraulic Engineering Courses, with increasing technical complexity, designed to take engineers from novice to expert.

A City & Guilds Accredited Programme Certificate is awarded for each course level, to delegates who successfully complete the training. The Hydraulic Engineering Fundamentals course offers a basic grounding in the principles of hydraulics at entry level for technicians and engineers with no prior knowledge of hydraulic engineering and for apprentices, graduates and design engineers.

year, the BPFA officially approved the courses, positioning Quick Hydraulics as the sector leader in hydraulic training.

The driving force behind the development of the comprehensive training courses offered by Quick, and the industry accreditations achieved by the company, is Engineering Director Alan Egglestone.

A highly experienced hydraulic practitioner, Alan is supported by two colleagues with the same hands on hydraulics expertise.

This approach ensures that students have the opportunity to gain the highest levels of knowledge at each stage of their training.

The resultant benefits of structured accredited training are not just limited to the increased skill levels of the individual.

Their employers benefit from an improved safety record through better awareness and knowledge, reduced maintenance times and Increased productivity through a more professional approach to maintenance.

Quick Hydraulics has worked on a number of major hydraulic projects in the North East and across the world for over 35 years.

The company supports its customers from design, through to delivery supplying full hydraulic system installations and hydraulic components providing a 24-hour a day service. Quick Hydraulics has also been providing training to industry professionals in house for over 20 years.

Maintec 2017 launches with the publication of ‘Future of Maintenance’ Whitepaper Internet of Things-enabled technologies to change the face of maintenance engineering Maintec 2017, taking place at Birmingham’s NEC March 21st to 23rd, will be underpinned by a wide-ranging educational programme, and is being supported by the publication of new research that addresses how The Internet of Things (IoT) is set to change the way that maintenance engineers go about their roles.

The research is presented in the form of a whitepaper - The Future of Maintenance Engineering: How the Industrial Internet of Things Will Deliver Smarter Factories with Reduced Downtime and Lower Repair Costs.

The whitepaper and its central themes will be the main reference point for the Maintec 2017 conference programme which will feature major contributors to the paper such as Vodafone. The Future of Maintenance Engineering whitepaper, written by industry analyst Lee Hibbert, forms part of a wide range of enhanced insight and educational activities that will support Maintec 2017.

“The IoT is set to revolutionise the way that modern maintenance engineers go about their daily tasks and we intend to reflect this in our educational programme,” said Tim Else, Event Director. “Already we are seeing manufacturing companies using sensors to collect and analyse data at every point of production, meaning they can predict failures before they occur.

IoT is an enabler of condition based modelling, and will unleash the true potential of predictive maintenance regimes. Furthermore, by fitting sensors to equipment out in the field, manufacturers also have a better idea of how their products AMP Magazine | 16 November 2016

perform in real-world operating environments.”

The whitepaper – currently in its first draft, with updates to follow – gives many examples of forward-thinking companies that are employing IoT technologies to improve the way they service products. Rolls-Royce embeds its aircraft engines with sensors so that performance data can be collected in flight, enabling maintenance engineers to mobilise to make repairs as soon as the plane has landed. Industrial group ThyssenKrupp installs its lifts with a suite of sensors that send real-time data to the cloud, enabling engineers to calculate the remaining life of key components.

Even pest control firm Rentokil is using IoT-based technology to connect rodent traps so that its technicians can plan their service checks in a more efficient and timesaving manner.

The whitepaper also looks at how maintenance engineers are starting to use advanced IoT-enabled technologies such as augmented reality to improve the way they

repair faulty equipment. Companies such as Vuforia are supplying software that can transform tablets into augmented reality devices, displaying data such as flow rates or vibration levels over physical assets. Such technology could also be applied to wearable devices such as augmented reality glasses, where maintenance engineers are presented with key graphics and data in their line of sight.

“These sorts of technologies mean maintenance engineers will be able to work in smarter ways,” said Tim Else. “They will have immediate access to information, delivered in visual ways, rather than having to spend valuable time hunting around for text-based repair manuals. It means maintenance engineers will work more efficiently.”

Two content streams, amounting to more than 15 hours of free conferences and seminars with more than 30 industry figures, will take place across three days.

Maintec 2017 is expected to attract more than 5000 delegates and 100 exhibitors.

THE FUTURE OF MAINTENANCE ENGINEERING:

How the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) will deliver smarter factories with reduced downtime and lower repair costs

Published by

Improving asset availability to reduce coal handling costs Coal is an important global resource and likely to remain so for many years to come. It is a crucial element in the energy mix and vital in the manufacture of a great many other products. But now more than ever, the pressure is on to reduce transportation costs by improving the efficiency of coal handling operations.

C

oal represents a significant proportion of all dry bulk, and handling and transportation of this challenging material is a major consideration.

It is particularly important to make sure that handling equipment is reliable in the long term because breakdowns can lead to considerable downtime, reductions in efficiency and unforeseen costs.

Coal conveyors are heavy-duty electromechanical systems that start and stop under heavy load. Unsurprisingly, they are prone to ingress from harsh coal dust and related debris, and their working conditions can be far from ideal as well with dramatic swings in temperature plus driving rain, sleet and snow, ice build-up etc.

In an industry where downtime due to mechanical failure is often viewed as an unavoidable fact of life, British company Sensor Technology of Banbury is developing technologies that can help operators to boost long-term reliability, increase availability, and reduce unscheduled maintenance. This can be vital for the coal handling sector as it looks to drive down costs, boost uptime and optimise efficiency.

Sensor Technology’s offering to the coal handling and transportation industry is built around its non-contact digital torque monitoring technology. Applied to the control systems for conveyors, it can transform these processes into accurately monitored and optimally managed systems.

Accurate monitoring of torque is a key indicator of impending mechanical problems.

The data can also be used to ensure conveyors are being run at optimum speeds, and that mechanical shocks are being minimised. This is because torque data is directly related to the power from the drive shaft. As coal is added and the conveyor load increases, so more power is needed. Similarly, if the conveyor is run at a higher speed, more power is needed.

Controlling conveyor speed accurately helps to minimise shock loads, and so leads to both increased reliability and increased efficiency.

AMP Magazine | 18 November 2016

Traditionally torque data has been hard to collect, with wired technologies vulnerable to the challenging environmental conditions inherent in coal handling operations, while also being expensive and difficult to set up. Wireless technology presents an important alternative that is being recognised as a real enabler for monitoring torque in even the most demanding applications.

With over 20 years of research and development into digital torque monitoring, Sensor Technology is at the forefront of this technology and is an acknowledged leader in the manufacture of wireless load sensors.

It has a global network of distributors assisting sales, and a network of worldrenowned technical experts assisting in the development of technology.

The company’s TorqSense transducer is based on the patented technology of measuring the resonant frequency change of surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices. TorqSense torque sensors use two tiny SAW devices or SAWs made of ceramic piezoelectric material containing frequency resonating combs. These are glued onto the drive shaft at 90 degrees to one another. As the torque increases the combs expand or contract proportionally to the torque being applied. In effect the combs act similarly to strain gauges but measure changes in resonant frequency.

coal from the mine, or transporting it for processing, or as part of subsequent shipping operations. A process that was once regarded as very difficult to monitor can now reap the same benefits as many other industrial processes.

TorqSense technology can also improve on the torque limiters that are traditionally relied on to prevent mechanical damage in the event of a coal conveyor jam. Continually monitoring the torque, the transducer can identify the gradual increases that are indicative of an impending jam condition, so enabling preventive maintenance. This key technology can deliver significantly reduced downtime that might have been caused by blockages or breakages to conveyor chain, paddle attachments or the drive gearbox.

TorqSense has seen widespread adoption in torque monitoring applications across a host of industries, where it is recognised as providing a reliable, accurate and easyto-implement monitoring solution.

Increasingly, these applications are including conveyors, where operators are finding that accurate, non-contact, digital torque monitoring technology has an important role to play in optimising operations and reducing costs.

The adjacent RF (radio frequency) device transmits radio waves towards the SAWs, which are then reflected back and picked up by the device. The change in frequency of the reflected waves identifies the current torque.

This arrangement means there is no need to supply power to the SAWs, so the sensor is non-contact and wireless.

Sensor Technology can point to a number of applications within coal handling and transportation as well, from the conveyors at the coal face to the bulk unloading conveyors at docksides. Operators around the world are seeing its benefits of reducing running costs and improving asset availability by facilitating proactive rather than reactive maintenance.

This innovative method of measuring torque can bring distinct advantages to coal conveying, whether in extracting
