Cameras, sensors, audio recording devices. They’re put in place at a company to provide safety, and when dealing with the well-being of your employees, this tech is expected to function properly. When it isn’t, there are no excuses. “There’s a certain amount of risk to the end user associated with security equipment not being in operation,” Jonathan Pine, CEO of Renova Technology, said.

How should companies stay on top of their security equipment and ensure safe operations? The answer lies in the data; in 2019, data is going to be one of the most valuable keys to success that a business can take advantage of. Companies like Renova Technology, who specialize in collecting and analyzing after-market service operations, are stepping up to the mantle to bring those services to the Commercial Security Industry.

Pine joins us on this Industrial IoT podcast show to discuss how businesses use this kind of data, the challenges in analyzing data, and what it takes for a business to be Best-In-Class. “The collecting of the data, not so difficult; using a faction which is actionable, that is always a challenge,” Pine said.

Toyota estimates up to 1 trillion yen a year for factory automation from 2028

Toyota estimates up to 1 trillion yen a year for factory automation from 2028

Toyota told investors factory automation could cost about 1 trillion yen ($6.4 billion) a year from 2028 across Toyota, group companies and major suppliers, CNBC reported. Toyota also said it could take roughly 400,000 robots. The company has not committed to the spending or said how long it would run, CNBC reported.

  • 011 trillion yen ($6.4 billion) per year estimated spending on factory automation starting 2028
  • 02About 400,000 robots needed across Toyota, group companies and major suppliers including replacements and new installations
  • 03Automation scope covers industrial robots, automated material handling, and future human-robot collaboration on factory floors

Flexxbotics claims 125% capacity gains by turning factory data into governed actions

Flexxbotics claims 125% capacity gains by turning factory data into governed actions

Flexxbotics says its platform turns production signals into authorized actions. It cited a 125% capacity increase at PMI and an 89% downtime reduction at EIS. For multi-site operators, the question is which actions can run autonomously and which require human approval.

  • 01The most concrete benchmark in Flexxbotics’ IMTS release is outcome-based: PMI’s reported 125% capacity increase and EIS’s 89% downtime reduction set a high bar for any closed-loop automation business case (Design News).
  • 02Flexxbotics is selling governance as much as analytics: teams predefine where the platform may act, which responses are authorized, and when human-in-the-loop approval is required (WhatTheyThink).
  • 03Protocol-level connectivity is central to deployment scope, with “Transformers” described as supporting bi-directional communication across more than 1,000 makes and models, a practical proxy for how much brownfield equipment can be brought into a closed loop without rip-and-replace (WhatTheyThink).

In-machine CNC fire suppression: Stat-X vs Firetrace

In-machine CNC fire suppression: Stat-X vs Firetrace

Modern Machine Shop describes Fireaway’s Stat-X as an electrically actuated, potassium-based aerosol generator mounted inside a CNC enclosure and triggered by a separate electronic sensor. A 2025 trade article describes the same two detection approaches—electronic point detection and heat-sensitive tubing—while widening the spec to include mist extraction, fire dampers and pressure relief. For shops running oil coolant, Schwarzenbach writes that many corporate insurance policies mandate installed and regularly maintained suppression.

  • 01A system designed to extinguish a fire inside the machine costs a small percentage of a CNC’s price, per Modern Machine Shop, so the comparison is against major fire damage or rebuilding—not the option’s sticker price.
  • 02Detection inside a machine tool comes down to two methods, heat-rupturing pressurized tubing or electronic heat and flame sensors, and Modern Machine Shop described a version of each in its 2009 and 2011 articles; what 2025 guidance adds is mist extraction, fire dampers and pressure-relief flaps in the same specification.
  • 03For shops running CNC machines on oil coolant, many corporate insurers require suppression to be installed and maintained, which turns a purchasing option into a policy condition and a maintenance audit item.
