Here is some news about PLUS Automation and Contrinex sensors (aka my day job)
Contrinex RFID?? Process Control & Tracking of Wash-station?? – www.Auto.PLUSAx.co.uk
Contrinex's Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is trusted by a manufacturer of industrial workpiece-carrier systems trusts to identify component baskets and initiate automated in-process washing. A read-write module, mounted at the washing station, interrogates the nylon-encased RFID tag on the approaching carrier. The customer’s control system identifies the carrier and initiates the correct washing cycle.
PRODUCT ADVANTAGES
??Passive transponders require no power source and minimal maintenance, ??Transponder performance guaranteed for up to 100,000 write cycles, ??Long sensing ranges, ??Rugged transponders with nylon or all-metal housings sealed to IP67 or IP69K, ???Read/write units interface directly with customer control systems.

3 年Interesting news about the push for more manufacturing awareness in the national curriculum and school leaver’s advice. I was allowed to go through my final years of school on the assumption that “engineering” was just standing at a lathe all day, and I feel that lack of encouragement and enthusiasm for engineering was a direct contributor to the skills gap in my generation. It was only through a subsequent careers evening that I saw the light and embarked on vocational qualifications for fabrication and welding - even then it was a bit of a rocky start and it was down to me to realise the full potential.
