Robotic automation has been a hot topic for the Sycor team in the past because of its popularity and the overall effectiveness of the installations. With 2020 being one of the most unpredictable years to date and having the economy balancing on what feels like a terrifying high rope, robotic automation had seen a serious decline in demand compared to 2018 when The World Robotics recorded the highest number of new installations ever. In this breakdown, we'll be going over the automation industry's changes over the last few years, the "new" industry's normal and how the pandemic has drastically changed the future of automation.

Hook-up wire, also known as appliance wire or lead wire, are single conductor insulated wires that are typically used in the internal wiring of electrical equipment. These applications can range from motors, control and power circuits, switchboards, panels, transformers and rectifiers.

There are many different factors to consider when designing an electrical cables construction. The type of conductor metal, the colour, size, number of conductors, and even materials used. Often when deciding on a specific wiring configuration, there's a number of different application considerations to go over. Today we'll be breaking down two popular insulating materials and why they were created. These insulating materials are known as Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and Low-Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH).
