- A recent report highlights that electricians have a low automation risk (14%) and are in high demand, partly due to the growth of AI data centers that they are needed to build and maintain. This makes the profession "future-proof."
- Electrical contractors can reduce overhead costs by using construction accounting software to automate administrative tasks, resource and inventory management, financial reporting, and payroll processing.
- Electrical Technology students from Chariho Career and Technical Center visited ProSystems Integration, an automation company, to learn about careers in industrial automation. A former student, now an engineer at the company, organized the visit to expose students to this side of the electrical industry.
- Level Automation, a company specializing in electrical and automation cabinets, successfully migrated from the Simatic S7-1200 to the new Simatic S7-1200 G2 control system in just two minutes using a new migration tool. The new system is certified according to the cybersecurity standard IEC 62443, making it ready for the increased requirements of the NIS2 Directive.
- Post Electric, an electrical contractor in Southwest Missouri, is expanding its services to include home automation and smart technology integration. This move is in response to the growing demand from homeowners to modernize their electrical systems.
