\"\"<\/a>Globally, the market for industrial automation is seeing double digit annual growth rates. With business operations increasing its reliance on robotics, EMI<\/a><\/strong> (electromagnetic interference) is a growing problem<\/strong><\/a> on today\u2019s factory floors. Arc welders, live wires, generators, and just about any device or machine generating radio frequency (RF) signals emit this electronic noise. This noise (also known as crosstalk) interferes with the communications that factories rely on.<\/p>\n

Sensors for Internet of Things (IoT), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and augmented reality (AR) headsets are just a few automation-related technologies that are at risk for EMI. Proper plant design can limit the effects of EMI, however, EMI shielding provides an additional layer of protection to ensure automation products can operate uninterrupted.<\/p>\n
