ISA and the FabLab share a common vision. ISA wants to create a better world through automation. The vision of the FabLab located on Delgado Community College’s City Park campus, is to change the world through science, technology, engineering and math.
ISA New Orleans Section, On Tuesday, August 13th, ISA New Orleans will tour the NOLA Fab Lab at Delgado. The Fab Lab concept emerged from MIT’s Center for Bits & Atoms and its mission is to provide access to the tools, knowledge and the financial means to educate, innovate […]
Beamex is hosting their Annual Calibration Exchange (ACE 2019), on Wednesday and Thursday, September 18th & 19th at the University of New Orleans in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. This event is designed to equip managers, engineers and technicians in the field with strategies for improving daily maintenance processes and tasks.
ISA New Orleans Section, Thank you to Frank Ruiz and Tim LaFranca with Parker Hannifin for a wonderful lunch and technical presentation this past Tuesday. Frank presented several real world examples of pressure control techniques used in sample-handling systems for gas analyzers. His command of the subject matter […]
The International Society of Automation (ISA), developer of ANSI/ISA 62443 series of automation and control systems cybersecurity standards (adopted by the International Electrotechnical Commission and endorsed by the United Nations), has created an open, collaborative forum to advance cybersecurity awareness, readiness, and knowledge sharing. The ISA Global Cybersecurity […]

The webinar, which will be held from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, will feature two calibration experts: Ned Espy, Technical Director at Beamex; and Roy […]
With their advanced, microprocessor-based technologies, today’s industrial automation and control systems (IACS) deliver much-improved performance and features compared to their analog counterparts. Unfortunately, these newer, networked systems-with their ability to be configured remotely-are more vulnerable to cyberattack. Security PHA Review for Consequence-Based Cybersecurity, a new book published by […]
This presentation will discuss sample-handling systems primarily for continuous analyzers; however Gas Chromatographs also use this system. These continuous analyzers are used in applications such as, stack monitors to measure Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide and NOx. They are also used in other industrial applications as process control, ambient air monitors and environmental monitors.
ISA New Orleans Section hosted a successful Symposium and Expo on Friday, May 31. I would like to thank all the Expo vendors and sponsors – Accutrol, aeSolutions, Appleton, ArtZat Consulting, Denison Technologies, EMR Associates, HMS Networks, Michelli Weighing and Measurement, Red Trident, The Reynolds Company, TriNova, and Weidmuller. I would also like to thank our Symposium speakers, Arthur Zatarain, PE and Paul Gruhn, PE, CFSE.
