Flexibly adaptable components ensure reliable operation in environmental technology applications
Ultra-thin barrier layers on packaging effectively protect food and medicine from oxygen, moisture, and contaminants. The Film-Inspect sensor, developed at Fraunhofer IPM, measures the quality of these barriers during the coating process, enabling process control for the first time.
AMA Association honors innovative developments in sensor and measurement technology
Ethernet-APL enables fast, standardized Ethernet communication down to field level, even in hazardous areas. While the technology simplifies engineering, commissioning, and diagnostics, the real value lies in integrated solutions. With engineered, certified systems tailored to customer needs, operators benefit from reduced complexity, faster deployment, and higher system availability.
Capazative Sensors for use in high-temperature areas up to 180 °C
Accurate energy consumption data is essential for companies aiming to achieve climate-neutral production. To support this goal, a consortium of organizations has recently published a groundbreaking specification for interoperable and efficient energy management in industrial and process automation.
Minimising downtimes with predictive maintenance
Jens Torkel and Linbin Zeng appointed new Managing Directors of the Romaco Group
Established in 1973, today the ABB factory in Quebec, Canada manufactures market leading products for industrial analytical measurement.
Mechanical bearings and gearboxes — like those used in electric vehicles and wind farms — are often treated with lubricants to avoid friction and wear. The voltage the components might be under impairs the effectiveness of the lubricants to such a degree that the tribological contacts are damaged. As part of the Lube.Life joint research project, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials IWM have developed a virtual lubricant lab, which can be used to predict the effects of electrical fields on lubricant stability.
Ideal for applications that require tight pressure tolerance and centralized control and monitoring
With a modern office building, the company is preparing for the future of its Liquid Analysis branch.
German Fraunhofer researchers have developed an extremely heat-resistant ceramic-based ink. For the first time, this enables metal components processed in the automotive industry at temperatures over 1,000 °C to be marked with a code. This opens up wide-ranging possibilities for designing process chains in the industry more efficiently and reducing their carbon footprint significantly.
Pilot project aims to demonstrate the scalability of PCF (Product Carbon Footprint) data exchange across an entire industry
For improved energy efficiency and minimum Total Cost of Ownership
Upgraded configuration environment features backwards compatibility and adds support for FDT3 web-based DTMs and FDI Device Packages
Secondary packaging for pharmaceutical products is subject to stringent product protection and labelling requirements. A consistently high-quality, reliable, safe and controlled packaging is therefore absolutely essential in the pharmaceutical sector.
PCN Europe talked with Matthias Garbsch, Product Manager Safety at JUMO about the company’s JSP portfolio and the advantages for users.
Monitoring Structural Integrity of LNG Storage Tanks
Visor-Ex® 01: the unique smart glasses – smartphone solution
For smart devices, use in the oil industry, for example on an offshore oil platform, represents a real endurance test. The Pepperl+Fuchs brand ECOM Instruments subjected the Visor-Ex® 01, the first system consisting of smart glasses and smartphone certified for use in hazardous areas, to this endurance test during its development phase. The practical test reveals great potential for rollout in future applications.
