Euro 2000 cable protections for the industrial automation sector

The industrial automation sector evolved over the industrial innovation years thanks to the strong growth and boost of the automobile industry. Its purpose was to prevent people from doing excessively repetitive, tiring, and habitual tasks in the production line by exploiting technology to manage machine and process control systems and consequently reduce human intervention.

A portion of the industrial automation sector is also represented by the Internet of Things (IoT), a sector where it is crucial to protect vulnerable industrial cables in applications at risk of damage, such as in the case of sensor connections, for which the use of industrial protection sheathing represents one of the best solutions.

Euro 2000’s cable protection systems in the industrial automation sector

Industrial automation encompasses all those technologies and systems that can control and manage the flow of materials, information and energy resources in one or more industrial production processes. In fact, automation means a system capable of self-adjustment, self-learning, control and predictivity.

Since they replace the manual execution of repetitive or complex operations, these processes require safety and certainty of action. Therefore, our cable protection systems for the industrial automation sector play a key role in ensuring efficiency and reliability.

Industrial automation applications

Our cable protection solutions find their application in any automated industrial production system where there are flows of material and machining processes ..
Usually, industrial automation systems are split into four categories:

Fixed automated systems
Programmable automated systems
Flexible automated systems
Integrated automated systems

Various technologies can be used in them, including:

Control and calculation systems
PLC
CNC
MES (Manufacturing Execution System)
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)
PLM (Product Lifecycle Management)
ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)
