    Industrial architecture is the design and construction of buildings facilitating the needs of the industrial sector. The architecture revolving around the industrial world uses a variety of building designs and styles to consider the safe flow, distribution and production of goods and labor. [ 1 ]

  3. Electrical grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_grid

    A wide area synchronous grid (also called an "interconnection" in North America) is an electrical grid at a regional scale or greater that operates at a synchronized frequency and is electrically tied together during normal system conditions. For example, there are four major interconnections in North America (the Western Interconnection, the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_engineering

    There is a general consensus among historians that the roots of the industrial engineering profession date back to the Industrial Revolution.The technologies that helped mechanize traditional manual operations in the textile industry including the flying shuttle, the spinning jenny, and perhaps most importantly the steam engine generated economies of scale that made mass production in ...

  5. Fieldbus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fieldbus

    A fieldbus is a member of a family of industrial digital communication networks [1] used for real-time distributed control. Fieldbus profiles are standardized by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) as IEC 61784/61158. A complex automated industrial system is typically structured in hierarchical levels as a distributed control ...

  6. Industrial process control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_process_control

    The fundamental building block of any industrial control system is the control loop, which controls just one process variable. An example is shown in the accompanying diagram, where the flow rate in a pipe is controlled by a PID controller , assisted by what is effectively a cascaded loop in the form of a valve servo-controller to ensure ...

    An example of a socket for a staggered pin grid array package View of the socket 7 321-pin connectors of a CPU. It consists of two square arrays of pins, offset in both directions by half the minimum distance between pins in one of the arrays. Put differently: within a square boundary the pins form a diagonal square lattice. There is generally ...

  9. Industrial ecology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_ecology

    Industrial ecology (IE) is the study of material and energy flows through industrial systems. The global industrial economy can be modelled as a network of industrial processes that extract resources from the Earth and transform those resources into by-products , products and services which can be bought and sold to meet the needs of humanity.
