Arc flash studies are critical for ensuring workplace safety and compliance with NFPA 70E and OSHA standards. They identify potential hazards, calculate incident energy, and help facilities choose the right personal protective equipment (PPE) for employees. But performing a thorough arc flash study requires the right tools — and many
When you’re running a critical power study, commissioning a new system, or performing scheduled maintenance, the quality of your test and measurement equipment can make or break the job. In high-stakes situations, engineers can’t afford uncertainty. That’s why many choose to rent test equipment instead of relying solely on in-house
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) can sound complicated, cloud connections, edge computing, predictive maintenance, and more. But with the right hardware, even small steps can unlock big wins in uptime and efficiency. That’s where Pepperl+Fuchs IO-Link sensors and masters come in. They provide a simple, cost-effective way to bring
When it comes to irrigation, “set it and forget it” often leads to wasted water, high energy bills, and damaged pumps. Efficient irrigation requires real-time feedback — knowing how much water is flowing and at what pressure. That’s exactly what flow and pressure sensors for irrigation systems deliver. These devices
In today’s fast-paced industrial world, production lines are only as strong as their weakest component. While big machines often get the spotlight, it’s the small, often-overlooked parts that can make or break an operation. A failed sensor, relay, or drive may seem minor in cost, but the downtime it creates
For facilities across the Midwest, efficiency and reliability aren’t optional—they’re essential. Whether in manufacturing, water and wastewater, HVAC, or food processing, industrial operations depend on motor control solutions that deliver consistent performance while reducing costs. That’s why so many facilities turn to Lakeland Engineering Equipment Company for Yaskawa Drives. As
In today’s fast-paced industrial environment, efficiency and quick decision-making are more critical than ever. One way manufacturers and facilities can achieve both is through human-machine interfaces (HMIs). Red Lion HMIs, available through Lakeland Engineering Equipment Company, provide operators with intuitive, real-time control over machines and processes, right at their fingertips.
Control systems are the brains of water and wastewater operations. They monitor pumps, manage motors, and keep treatment processes running smoothly. But these systems are only as reliable as the enclosures that protect them. If moisture seeps into an enclosure, it can corrode components, cause short circuits, or lead
When it comes to industrial automation, precision and reliability are non-negotiable. Motion feedback devices like encoders ensure your equipment runs smoothly, accurately, and efficiently. But with so many encoder technologies available, how do you choose the right one for your application? At Lakeland Engineering, we partner with Dynapar, a
In today’s fast-paced industrial environment, accuracy and efficiency aren’t just goals—they’re essential to staying competitive. From reducing downtime to enhancing quality control, the right automation technology can transform the way facilities operate. That’s where Turck sensors come in. Known for reliability and innovation, Turck offers a wide range of
