The latest addition to DIRAK's line of mechatronic security systems for racks, enclosures, and cabinets includes three types that are said to better protect materials, electronics, and data, while reducing security costs.
With E-LINE, a user can control who has access to individual racks and enclosures, monitor when individuals are allowed access, and be able to audit access when necessary. "Protecting materials, electronics, and data is a critical component of a company's security and loss prevention strategy," the company said in a press release.
The new system includes MLR (Mechatronic Locks for Racks), MLE (Mechatronic Locks for Enclosures), and MLU (Mechatronic Locks for Universal Applications).
MLR, which is available in three models -- MLR1000, MLR3000, and MLR5000 -- features a new design that combines ergonomics, aesthetics, and function, according to the company. Integrated LEDs on the face of the handle display alarm and authorization status of the handle -- the top LED indicates locking status while the bottom LED monitors temperature deviations.
MLE products address the security of enclosures that are located in public areas. They are available in two models -- single- or duel-lock cylinder.
MLU is designed for applications that require security in addition to mechanical handles. The MLU lock is mounted inside the cabinet and can be integrated into existing security systems. MLUs "address security of cabinets that contain sensitive material as well as other applications where the existing handle is not being replaced," the company said.
I agree your comment & its applications not only for IT/Ites also for out door enclosures where we need an extensive remote access control locks Eg..,, for telecom towers
naperlou, I completely agree. I've seen similar things happen. With the trend towards co-branding, there's more opportunity for theft or sabotage.
For some, competition brings out the best in them. They are driven to achieve more. For others, it's easier to tear down the competition than to meet it.
naperloul, I'm intrigued by your comment. How did competitors' employees sabotage the equipment? Do you mean that employees of one company snuck into the facility of a competitor and sabotaged their equipment in the dead of night?
As more and more data migrates to co-location centers it is important that there be more robust security in these systems. I have seen situations where competitors employees intentionally sabatoged equipment. This type of lock should help avoid such problems.
For 3D printing to make the jump from rapid prototyping to manufacturing, engineers will need to find easier ways to move products from their CAD screens to their printers.
Gigabit and PoE are two networking technologies moving ahead in tandem as industrial users power remote Ethernet devices such as IP security cameras at 1,000 Mbps over existing CAT5 cable.
New versions of BASF's Ecovio line are both compostable and designed for either injection molding or thermoforming. These combinations are becoming more common for the single-use bioplastics used in food service and food packaging applications, but are still not widely available.

For industrial control applications, or even a simple assembly line, that machine can go almost 24/7 without a break. But what happens when the task is a little more complex? That’s where the “smart” machine would come in. The smart machine is one that has some simple (or complex in some cases) processing capability to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Such machines are suited for a host of applications, including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, computers and electronics, telecommunications, consumer goods, and so on. This radio show will show what’s possible with smart machines, and what tradeoffs need to be made to implement such a solution.
