Mihails Kusnezoff, Stefan Megel and Sindy Mosch from the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS in Dresden have developed a high-temperature electrolysis stack that is setting new standards worldwide: It generates hydrogen with unprecedented efficiency, can also operate as a fuel cell and is designed for industrial-scale serial production. The technology has earned the three researchers the Joseph von Fraunhofer Prize for 2026.
Durable, abrasion-resistant performance for flow meters without PFAS-related compliance issues
The companies have signed an agreement to jointly develop the next generation of corrosion management solutions for Saudi Arabian Oil Company, with the aim of preventing unplanned downtime and boosting production efficiency.
As digital transformation increases demand for data from automation systems – driven by new digital innovations such as advanced analytics, AI and expanded connectivity – maintaining system integrity has become a challenge. ABB’s Luis Duran explores how the concept of “separation of concerns” protect the core of the automation system in a cyber-secure way, while enabling new digital value without compromising operational performance.
Certification to ATEX and IECEx requirements enables IE6 technology to be deployed in hazardous areas
Nijhuis Saur Industries (NSI), part of Saur Group, introduced PFAS Resolve at IFAT 2026 in Munich. It is a Saur Group solution: a modular concept combining advanced technologies to address the full spectrum of PFAS contamination directly on site.
Ensuring quality and consistency in plastic manufacturing and recycling processes
Making aluminium drives resistant to cleaning chemicals
Low weight, high power density and innovative sealing concept for easier maintenance
In high-pressure fluid systems, inaccuracy is more than a measurement problem - it’s a performance, safety, and cost risk. From hydraulic power units to oilfield chemical injection skids, reliable flow data under extreme pressure is essential to keeping critical systems running efficiently and safely.
Hydrostatic level measurement in hazardous areas
Intelligent pump features for flow, pressure , vacuum control and dosing
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.
ATEX and IECEx certified series with high power density and a wide range of mounting and encoder options
SOPAT and Parsum optical inline systems will further strengthen the process analysis portfolio. The Germany-based specialist in inline process measurement technology, retaining the company’s staff in Berlin and Chemnitz.
Cost-effective alternative for applications without need for IP68 approval
Robust and precise flowmeters for dispensing of aggressive media
Hanna Lundin, product engineer at Emerson, explains in this article how simplified tank monitoring system architectures make it more feasible for companies to implement an automated solution to improve their inventory management, increase safety and efficiency.
Diaphragm pump manufacturer KNF begins a new chapter in its leadership as Martin Becker focuses on his role as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Alexander Heizler takes over as CEO.
Maximum safety and availability for demanding industrial applications
For more resistant and durable aluminium drives in harsh environments
APC enables capacity increases without new hardware, energy savings and cost reduction through continuous optimization, and more stable product quality under fluctuating conditions.
When it comes to beverage dispensing and flow measurement, Titan Enterprises offers two distinct solutions that each has unique strengths and trade-offs, making the choice application-dependent.
Intrinsically safe copper-based Ethernet to ATEX Zone 1
Valuable energy is lost in pressure reduction stations, exhaust steam pipes and condensation systems. With Energify system, the company CFT GmbH offers a simple and robust solution for the cost-effective conversion of even slight pressure differences into energy. This saves electricity costs and lowers CO₂ emissions. The system performance is controlled precisely with sliding gate valves from Schubert & Salzer.
For accurate and stable measurements of process temperatures above 100 °C
Axel Schwerdtfeger has been appointed as Executive Vice President of the Process Solutions company division, effective 1 October. As a member of the Management Board, he will also contribute significantly to shaping and executing the global business strategy of the measurement technology manufacturer.
Optimised fixed-focus and zoom lenses, designed to operate in the ultraviolet spectral region (200-400 nanometres)
Looks matter, but they aren’t everything: long before croissants, biscuits or waffles are placed in protective packaging, manufacturers need to ensure that their contents are exactly as they should be. In upstream steps, producers pave the way for the highest quality, safety and shelf life of ready-to-eat products. Ingenious technologies that work towards this goal are always part of the packaging process.
Carl Ramsden has taken over the newly created position effective October 1, 2025. This newly created position represents an important milestone in the further integration of the British company into the HIMA Group.
As the world urgently seeks ways to decarbonise, James Clements from Signal Group explains how gas analysis will perform a vital role – particularly in carbon capture, and not just for CO2 but for all of the important greenhouse gases.
Upgrading pneumatic control valves with digital capabilities can enhance process quality and efficiency. Though a full digital control system redesign might be prohibitive, integrating digital positioners and process controllers can offer many of the same benefits without requiring a complete overhaul. Author: Kieran Bennett, Industry Manager, Food & Beverage at Bürkert.
Stainless-steel motors for the food industry
Enhanced pump design for higher performance
Innovative technology transforms heavily contaminated polystyrene waste into valuable resources
Compact and cost-effective for pressure and level measurements
Experts have to collaborate effectively for process plants to be controlled reliably and economically. Safety, reliability, and efficiency must be guaranteed. This means operators of such plants are dependent on experienced project partners who not only supply individual products, but also have a deep understanding of the processes and requirements on-site and are able to use this knowledge to develop customized and long-term sustainable solutions.
