EDC recently headed into New York City for a day of hands-on learning! Our own Scott Sullivan led a seven-hour seminar for chief engineers, assistant chief engineers, and lead engineers. Learn more about our team: hubs.li/Q04C_zCx0

90% → 16%. When a cable strander’s CANopen network became overloaded, EDC optimized the existing drive parameters to dramatically reduce network utilization—without replacing more hardware. hubs.li/Q04xSkqd0

EDC generally allows about one hour of capacitor reforming for every year a drive has been sitting unpowered. See why voltage AND time matter when bringing a stored VFD back into service: hubs.li/Q04zwCGk0

Another summer of hands-on engineering at EDC! Meet 2026 interns Noah Collins-Siegel and Douglas Tran, and catch up with former intern Aidan Conway to see where his career has taken him. hubs.li/Q04BVfMt0

Getting closer to #AutomationFair 2026! Anthony Fasolo, Ben Ferrara & Bob Pusateri are heading to Boston for four days of learning, new technology and plenty of automation. See you there!

That spare VFD on the shelf might not be as ready as it looks. After extended periods without power, capacitors may need to be reformed before full voltage is applied. Learn why this preventive step matters: hubs.li/Q04zwB8M0

EDC is heading to #AutomationFair 2026 in Boston! 🦞 Anthony Fasolo, Ben Ferrara & Bob Pusateri will be there Nov. 16–19 checking out the latest in industrial automation. Planning to be there? Let us know—we’d love to catch up at the show.

How do you communicate with drives that are constantly rotating? EDC replaced an unreliable slip ring communication path with wireless CANopen—eliminating a recurring source of downtime on this cable strander. hubs.li/Q04xSjdR0

Old controls + modern hardware don’t always play nicely. See how EDC bridged Siemens controls, Lenze drives, PROFIBUS, CANopen & wireless communication to eliminate recurring faults on a cable stranding line. hubs.li/Q04xSgNn0

CV lines are designed to run continuously—but that doesn’t mean the controls should stay the same forever. If your line is running on aging PLCs, legacy drives, or unsupported hardware, this guide is for you. Read the full guide: hubs.li/Q04p_zV10

This summer, Noah, a Mechanical Engineering student at Virginia Tech, joined a visit to MarinoWare, where he toured the facility and got a firsthand look at a slitter line EDC is upgrading. Stay tuned for a full internship wrap-up on the EDC blog!

In case you missed it… 👋 Scott Pospishil is back at EDC! Scott brings a unique mix of controls engineering and IT expertise to our Systems Team. Catch up on Scott’s Employee Spotlight: hubs.li/Q04sPSbw0

Scott’s career has taken him from EDC to manufacturers, distributors and OEMs—and now, back to EDC. Now he’s bringing that experience back to our Systems Team. Read Scott’s story: hubs.li/Q04sPZ6p0

We shared this article a few months ago, but it feels even more relevant now. If you’ve been putting off a controls upgrade or modernization project, this could help support the conversation. Read more: hubs.li/Q04q04MM0

👋 Welcome back, Scott! We’re excited to have him back—and to share his story. Meet Scott: hubs.li/Q04sPDWz0

Not every production line needs to be replaced; sometimes the biggest gains come from upgrading the controls. If you’re exploring ways to modernize your metals converting equipment, check this out! hubs.li/Q04p_psN0

Bringing this one back to the top of the feed. If you work with continuous vulcanization (CV) lines this guide is a great resource. It covers the basics of CV lines, challenges, and where modernization can make the biggest impact. Take a look: hubs.li/Q04p_y9j0

Bringing this one back because it’s a great example of how custom automation solves some pretty unique manufacturing challenges. When you’re winding delicate materials, “good enough” torque control isn’t always good enough. Read the piece: hubs.li/Q04q06l-0

We first published this earlier in the year, but as hard as it is to believe, many manufacturers are already starting to think about 2027 budgets. Take another look: hubs.li/Q04p__tP0

If you’re thinking about updating your metals converting equipment, this page is a good place to start. hubs.li/Q04p_xN-0 It walks through some of the common automation upgrades—from PLCs and drives to HMIs, motion control, and complete control system retrofits.
