This podcast is the audio from a recent webinar on UrbanIO.
Check out the webinar here.
In this webinar Nick Fiorini showcases UrbanIO and their wireless remote condition monitoring sensor technology and demonstrates how this easy to deploy cost effective solution is revolutionizing how facilities monitor the second and third tier assets.If you have any questions about anything you saw in the video please reach out to us at support@adamscorp.com or 800-282-4165Webinar Description:Monitoring critical equipment in a manufacturing facility can be a difficult task due to the hard-to-reach nature of some of these assets. While certain assets can be monitored via hardwired devices like IO-Link sensors, many of them are too remote to be connected to a centralized network. While these assets are still critical, they’re often neglected and can still cause unplanned downtime. Are you interested in a low-cost solution that will send you an email or text alert when these “fringe assets” begin to experience failures?Adams will give you an overview on the Urban IO product offering, common assets we monitor that are often neglected, and showcase the platform for trending data and setting alerts when issues arise.
Machine vision, 2D and 3D, can be intimidating to implement, but the technology has gotten much easier to use. And when you are having quality issues, these technologies will help prevent another bad part from getting to a customer. Interested in 100% inspection on your parts for defects, dimensions, etc? Need vision to guide a robot?Adams will walk you through the process of working with our experts to address any 2D or 3D vision need - and how to implement this technology successfully.If you have any questions about anything you heard during this webinar please reach out to Jeff Fiorini at jfiorini@adamscorp.com

Just because you can do it doesn't mean you should do it.Â
In this episode, Jonathan Moon describes how he helped provide an innovative and timely End of Arm Tool, from Piab, for a customer. This customer had in-house engineers that would typically do this sort of work themselves. However, this customer was able to deploy their internal resources on other initiatives after trusting Jonathan and Piab to deliver an EOAT solution.
The story Jonathan tells speaks to how he goes about building relationships with his customers and is always looking to provide innovative and cost-effective automation and reliability solutions.Â

In this episode, Travis Dorman discusses the importance of filtration and explains ISO codes. He talks about Adams' approach to testing fluid cleanliness and educating customers on how cleaner fluid will extend component life. Listen to hear an example from the Panhandle where he and the team at HyPro did an extended 3-month testing period to show one customer just how much better the HyPro filters were. The results are impressive.Â
