Today, Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) operations are a significant sub-industry within manufacturing, valued at $656 billion and projected to exceed $800 billion by 2032. MRO involves maintaining machinery, equipment, and systems in optimal condition through repairs and overhauls to extend their operational life.

Coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) play a crucial role in verifying the dimensions of manufactured parts with precision control. CMM controllers are central to coordinating movements and processing data, driving technological advancements in the metrology industry.

The push for smaller, more complex device components has spiked the need for precise, non-damaging metrology, with 3D X-ray microscopy (XRM) leading the way. This technology offers high-resolution measurements critical for quality control in the electronics and manufacturing industries.

These advancements made our factories smarter by enabling systems to communicate with each other, share live data, and make decisions without human intervention.

Discover five key pillars that can help an HVAC business thrive.

While exterior pollutants, such as smog and CO, may receive more attention, IAQ within a home can have serious effects on our physical and mental health, as well.

The National Air Duct Cleaners Association recently drew more than 500 people to a resort near Denver for its annual meeting and exposition.

Building operators want people back, and they’re investing in IAQ upgrades to help ease occupant concerns.

The pandemic has caused IAQ to become a big concern, which has led industry experts to recommend increasing ventilation and upgrading filtration for commercial buildings.

IAQ has become a very important topic as the COVID-19 global pandemic has continued to evolve.

Parker Hannifin Corp. addressed two of today’s most pressing HVACR issues ― a labor shortage and pandemic-fueled concerns about indoor air quality (IAQ) ― during the recent AHR Expo.

The survey explored homeowners’ attitudes toward the Inflation Reduction Act and home upgrades, specifically heat pumps, that increase sustainability.

Among the various HVAC insulation options available, elastomeric closed-cell foam duct insulation (closed-cell foam) solutions stand out for providing safe, sustainable, high-performance thermal and acoustic insulation while resisting moisture and improving overall indoor air quality (IAQ).

HVACR innovations present and past characterized the MARS booth at the recent AHR Expo in Las Vegas.

It has now been two years since the pandemic brought IAQ to the forefront of everyone’s minds. Manufacturers are stepping up with an array of products to clean and monitor the air people breathe.

Homeowners are increasingly paying attention to improving their indoor air quality, and dehumidification is a big part of the IAQ equation.

A big part of the growth cycle of the cannabis plant is deeply rooted in the ability of the plant to absorb and rid itself of water vapor, so we now add a D to HVAC for dehumidification.
