Remote service for suppor t in real time SIKORA seeks to support its customers all over the world in a fast, efficient and reliable manner, so has developed the Smart Assistance Manager (SAM). For customers this means more efficient support and optimised service processes. on the best possible positioning of the equipment in the factory. Due to diverse connection possibilities – such as USB 3.0, RJ 45 Ethernet, Bluetooth 4.0 and the LTE/UMTS module – as well as the various application possibilities, the SAM is an important tool for modern production lines, for example to support maintenance and diagnosis tasks as well as every Smart Factory in the era of Industry 4.0. The individually Sikora AG – Germany Email: sales@sikora.net Website: www.sikora.net

designed licence module guarantees the most current version of the Sikora diagnosis software for a live session for fault detection or as an offline diagnosis system for all Sikora measuring, control, inspection, analysis and sorting systems.

Sikora’s Smart Assistance Manager is a 13.3" tablet, optimised for the rough industrial environment. The SAM allows for a direct connection with a Sikora support engineer to receive instructions for all maintenance, support and diagnosis tasks via the integrated video chat feature (5MP camera). In real time the Sikora support engineer gets direct access to the Sikora device for immediate diagnosis. In the same way software updates are installed. The work of the SAM starts with the installation of the measuring device. The customer transmits via video-stream the environmental conditions as well as the line layout toSikora. This support assists, for example, with detailed information

Dual product launch HYDRA-ZORB Co, a manufacturer of products for clamping pipe or tube in the hydraulic, pneumatic and HVAC/R industries, has launched the Bronco tube and pipe saddle, and the Titan riser clamp. The products were unveiled at the AHR Show (Air- Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating) in Las Vegas, USA. The Bronco tube and pipe saddle uses high-strength plastic that can snap into channels of any depth, offering stability and preventing damage to the insulation from pipe movement. The product is available in several sizes, in either black or white to match the insulation colour. The Klo-Shure Titan insulated riser clamp series is made to fit vertical pipe runs and create a clean vapour barrier after insulation is installed. Titan risers are moulded with high-strength plastic with a crush-resistant design and a vertical load rating range of 1,000 to 2,000 lb. The clamps are claimed to offer three times faster installation with an improved finished appearance. Both products are made in the USA at Hydra-Zorb’s new 52,000 ft 2 plant in Auburn Hills, Michigan, which was built specifically with these products in mind. The company’s two primary products – Hydra-Zorb cushion clamps and Klo-Shure insulation couplings – are simple but important components in projects ranging from small power units for hydraulics to couplings used for HVAC/R lines in construction.
