In today’s changing industrial landscape, industrial automation emerges as a key pillar to drive operational efficiency and process optimization. As the year 2024 draws to a close, trends in industrial automation are set to define the future of automation, promising not only improved production, but also a sustainable impact and a reduction in the carbon footprint of industries.
Technical shutdowns (also known as maintenance shutdowns) occur in industrial companies, usually during the summer or winter season. This is due to the fact that, during these dates, there are usually holiday periods, which leads companies to stop or substantially slow down production.
A bearing is a machine part, usually made of metal, consisting of two rings (outer and inner), rolling elements and a cage that holds them in the correct position. They are used to guide and support rotating components. They are a fundamental part of any machine.
The uses of lubricants in the metal parts of each machine are diverse and cover a wide range of functions. Their presence is key in the operation of these and can make the difference in achieving maximum performance.
