See how Schulman Engineering addressed their energy usage, analyzed costs, and established preventive maintenance with the groov RIO energy monitoring unit.
Are you working on machine health initiatives and predictive maintenance? Do you want to track (and reduce) operating costs? Energy management can be the key to achieving these goals.
Schulman Engineering, an industrial automation and system integration company located in Southern California, recently shared a client success story using Opto 22's groov RIO EMU (GRV-R7-I1VAPM-3).
Is it possible to find a secure solution that translates energy data into usable information for cost management, process improvement, and equipment reliability?

Hear first hand how smoothly and powerfully a groov EPIC controller lends itself to the commissioning process.
Now and then, I get signed up to do something different. Most of us have that clause in our job descriptions: "or any other duties as directed." 😁
In this case, I assembled a cabinet with a groov EPIC on a chassis four rack. The four I/O modules were a mix with a total of 30 channels.
Of course, after the wiring was done, a sanity check was in order—or, said another way, a point-by-point check that everything was working as it should have been. Sounds tedious, right? Follow along...

Listen in on a conversation from this year's ProveIt! conference as Benson Hougland discusses the why and how of securely moving data from OT to IT systems with the Manufacturing Hub podcast.
Have you tuned in to the Manufacturing Hub podcast yet? It's an educational show hosted by two longtime industrial practitioners—Dave Griffith and Vladimir Romanov. They asked Opto 22's Benson Hougland for a sit down discussion at this year's ProveIt! conference in Dallas, where several topics were covered.
What types of solutions are readily available for manufacturers to start their digital transformation? What are the most common challenges and roadblocks? What does the future look like in terms of product features?
And most importantly, was Opto 22 able to prove a viable solution on stage at the ProveIt conference?
