Modern factories: Electromagnetic noise is replacing audible noise
by Rudy Ramos, Mouser Electronics In the past, factories were noisy places; in fact, noise-induced hearing loss was one of the most common occupational ailments in the USA. As the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) – sometimes termed Factory 4.0 – led to more electronics in factories, electromagnetic noise replaced audible noise. As the need for process […]
