Rockwell Automation - 2nd Qtr 2011 - 3rd Qtr 2011
Over the years (since 1997, in fact) we have published the Power Line in tabloid format; providing important information on trends in the electrical industry, announcing new product and service offerings and delivering valuable technical advice from our talented in-house professionals. From time to time, we have even shared some success stories that made us proud as well as anecdotes that made us laugh.
In its new digital format, the Power Line will help us communicate more efficiently with our customers, co-workers and other key stakeholders.
We hope you enjoy it. Feel free to let me know what you think.

In cooperation with Lutron, we have embarked on a twelve month TV & web campaign on WBRE (NBC), WYOU (CBS) and pahomepage.com (look under the PA Professionals tab). Their coverage area includes much of northeastern PA, out towards the Bloomsburg area, north & western Berks County (extending into Dauphin), Schuylkill County and parts of the Lehigh Valley.
So, don't be surprised if the next time you turn on the TV, you see the Fromm logo!
This video, created by the Polak family of Philadelphia, surfaced on hgtv.com, in an attempt to get their kitchen remodeled for free. If you have a moment, why not help them out and leave a comment on their submission?
If you've seen the Fromm logo somewhere unexpected, tell us about it.
We'd love to hear from you!
Rare earth metals are vital to the manufacturing of energy-efficient fluorescent lamps, as they are a crucial component of the light-producing tri-phosphors inside the lamps.
The rare earth phosphor crisis is an issue facing every fluorescent lamp manufacturer and will have an impact on pricing throughout the world.

There are several load controller options that all work with Pico® wireless controls and Radio Powr Savr™ sensors to enhance energy savings and the usability of a space. The wireless technology of these devices allows for simple installation in new construction or retrofit applications.
It helps reduce installation time with its plug-and-play setup and can help minimize facility downtime by quickly providing intelligent diagnostic and predictive failure information.
With system-wide communications, you get diagnostic information for predictive maintenance, process monitoring and can see warnings before potential faults occur.

After completion of the project we noticed a significant decrease in our electric bill. We are extremely happy with the improvement in light levels, in some cases doubling the levels while using less energy. The occupancy sensors were also extremely helpful in reducing our energy usage. The increased light levels are definitely helpful in maintaining a safe workplace. Also, employees can pick and ship material faster with increased lighting.
Dan and Marianne did a great job in presenting us with this solution and we could not be more pleased with the end result."

Our entrance chandelier is very large and reaches over 45 feet above the floor. It requires disassembly before re-lamping can be accomplished. Scaffolding to reach the top is very time consuming and expensive. By re-lamping with the Sylvania CF5ELA15DIMBL a 20,000 hour lamp will increase the time between lamp changes to at least 10 years.
Fromm and Cyndi Philips from Sylvania were very helpful in finding a solution which accomplished our goals."
