UL Verified Mark - You can promote the safety of light radiation.

Laser and LED technologies are applied in various fields such as information technology, healthcare, entertainment, and the automotive industry. With the increase in products, manufacturers are pressured to differentiate their products in the market. On the other hand, for consumers, the incorporation of lasers and LEDs into more familiar products has made safety assurance an important factor in product selection. In this era, UL's Verified Mark is the optimal program to appeal to buyers regarding the safety of laser/LED light emission levels in products. Why is verification necessary? The UL Verified Mark program for laser/LED products is a third-party verification service aimed at verifying the emission levels of lasers/LEDs at reliable testing laboratories and utilizing the results in your marketing activities. By using it alongside UL's well-recognized safety evaluation services in the United States, it alleviates concerns for users and retailers while promoting brand transparency in the market. Products that measure laser/LED emission levels are categorized into three groups under this unique UL program.

In recent years, the implementation of maintenance DX to achieve "non-stop factories" has become an urgent necessity in manufacturing sites. Amid the trend of factory IoT and data utilization, the use of remote I/O, which can remotely aggregate and collect sensor information and control signals from equipment and sensors dispersed inside and outside the factory, is gaining importance as a foundation for predictive maintenance and condition monitoring. On the other hand, the installation environment for remote I/O is not necessarily limited to control panels or well-conditioned factory interiors. There is an increasing need to collect data in harsh environments, such as outdoor equipment and conditions involving high temperatures, low temperatures, vibrations, and strong electrical noise. Conventional remote I/O systems have struggled to operate stably under such conditions, requiring measures like installation location constraints and additional protective enclosures. Environmentally robust remote I/O with wide temperature support and noise resistance can address these challenges, enabling the expansion of the scope of factory IoT and predictive maintenance to outdoor and remote equipment. In this seminar, we will introduce the lineup of Contec's environmentally robust remote I/O, the "CONPROSYS(R) Robust I/O Series," which includes a total of 23 products.
