    7. It depends on the hardware

      It depends on the hardware

      With Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), companies can identify potential savings and increase their efficiency. Food manufacturers use ROSE Panel PCs for their MES, as do companies in the automotive, cosmetics and metalworking industries. The Panel PCs are characterized by high quality and modularity. They are thoroughly manufactured, have powerful processors (up to Intel Core i7) and can be configured customer-specifically. Due to their modularity, Panel PCs from ROSE offer the best prerequisites for the effective use of an MES. The reason is simple: the programs work best when the hardware is precisely matched to the application. The panel PCs enable exactly that, because they are manufactured according to the modular system. Users can choose from a wide range of display sizes, CPU versions and interfaces. The equipment options also include RFID readers, barcode scanners, individually assignable conventional buttons, individually assignable membrane buttons and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). A central component of every Panel PC is the screen. For this purpose, ROSE uses a chemically hardened multi-touch glass equipped with PCAP technology. In contrast to resistive touch displays, screens with PCAP technology can recognize multiple finger movements at the same time. The hardened multi-touch glass is also insensitive to scratches or liquids and can also be cleaned during operation. Since the displays are anti-reflective and have a high level of light transmission, they can also be read well from a distance. For the optimal connection of the panel PCs to the application, ROSE offers support arm systems in different configurations as well as ergonomic height adjustment systems and stand systems. If required, the operating units can be installed directly at the customer's premises. On request, ROSE will also install the software provided, adapt the default BIOS or the PCAP touch controller and update the firmware.

    8. J1-Inverter

      J1-Inverter

      With the growing demand for tailored automation solutions, the J1 provides essential motor control capabilities with a focus on affordability and performance. It is particularly suited for applications such as conveyors, mixers, small fans, pumps and basic material handling systems in sectors including food & beverage, general manufacturing, agriculture and HVAC. Despite its compact size and accessible price point, the J1 delivers functionality typically expected in higher-tier models. The J1 inverter offers dependable motor control in a wide power range, from 0.4 to 2.2 kW in single-phase 200V and from 0.4 to 3.7 kW in three-phase 400V. Its robust design includes features such as V/f control, Dynamic Torque Vector Control, built-in PID control, and overload protection, delivering reliable operation in demanding conditions. The unit also supports automatic deceleration, a sleep mode for pump and fan applications, and slip compensation to ensure stable torque even at low speeds. Installation is simplified thanks to the inverter’s compact IP20 housing, which allows side-by-side mounting to reduce cabinet space. Connectivity is handled via standard Modbus RS-485, and the J1 includes both digital and analog I/O options to suit a wide range of basic machine control needs. To support both existing and new customers, the J1 can be programmed using OMRON’s Sysmac Studio as well as a newly developed, free-of-charge configuration tool called J1 Editor. This intuitive software offers quick parameter editing and an easy setup process. The J1 is certified for CE, UKCA, UL/cUL, EAC and RoHS compliance and is suitable for a variety of installations across indoor industrial settings.
