Editor’s note: Smart Industry New Product Roundups are digests of manufacturing technology offerings recently brought to market.  

RS announced an integrated control panel portfolio; moviTHERM launched its self-contained thermal camera; and Antaira Technologies announced its network enclosures designed for outdoor industrial networking demands. 

RS announced its RS PRO Total Panel Integration portfolio that aims to help industrial customers achieve operational alignment and savings in automated environments demand without compromising on quality or performance. 

The integration involves harmonizing all elements of the panel from design to logistics components, as well as the structural and connectivity components outside of the panel, and the tools required for installation and maintenance.

The portfolio features products designed for use in, on, and outside of industrial control panels. 

According to RS, control panel integration:  

• Streamlines supply chains by consolidating component sourcing and reducing the time, expense and risk of delays. 
• Eliminates component compatibility concerns. 
• Maximizes spatial and thermal efficiency to prevent overheating and facilitate scalability. 
• Accelerates design cycles while ensuring standards compliance. 
• Simplifies maintenance with layouts. 
• Drastically reduces the risk of unexpected failures and downtime.

Thermal imaging and monitoring company moviTHERM launched its self-contained IoT thermal camera that aims to allow industrial to add continuous, connected thermal monitoring to their equipment and processes.  

The Irley camera processes on-device and pushes an instant alert when it detects a thermal anomaly, filtering out false alarms so teams aren't chasing nuisance triggers. It connects over ethernet where infrastructure exists, or over cellular (LTE) where it doesn't, according to moviTHERM.

Irley combines detection, analysis, and alerting into a single connected device. Teams can view thermal data remotely, according to the company. 

Antaira Technologies, a manufacturer of industrial networking infrastructure, announced its Lanobox Series of pre-built, IP68-rated NEMA 4X network enclosures designed for outdoor industrial networking demands. 

Each Lanobox unit is a combined solution of a cabinet enclosure, an Antaira PoE switch, an industrial power supply and a 20kA surge protector.

The series was engineered to serve applications such as outdoor perimeter security and video surveillance; construction site communications; pipeline monitoring; environmental and weather sensing stations; smart irrigation and precision agriculture; and intelligent transportation systems, according to Antaira.

The series contains two models: 

• The Lanobox-105-T is designed for straightforward PoE connectivity and contains an unmanaged five-port Gigabit flat switch with four PoE+ outputs at up to 30W per port and a 120W total budget, backed by a 200W power supply. The system is ready to support IP cameras, access points, and sensors at the network edge.  
• The Lanobox-212-T is built for installs involving high-power devices such as PTZ cameras, smart LED lighting, and wireless radios. It combines Antaira’s managed LMP-1204G-SFP-bt-T 12-port PoE++ switch with 240W PoE budget and a 350W power supply.
