For contactless measurement of demanding process liquids
Fast and reliable measurement over wide temperature ranges
AIMPLAS, the Plastics Technology Centre, is leading IRION, a European research and innovation project aimed at building a more sustainable and resilient green hydrogen value chain.
Inductive heating is rapidly gaining importance in food processing and food-related packaging systems. The technology enables reproducible temperatures and short response times while meeting high hygiene standards. Kendrion consistently applies this proven principle to food and packaging machinery: with scalable systems for inductive heating and industrial surface heating. They generate heat exactly where it is needed: during transport, in the heating plate, in the container, or in the roller. Energy consumption is up to 50 percent lower than with gas or oil heaters.
With SIL 2 certification for limit switches and 4…20 mA output
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.
Stainless-steel body for high pressures and a broad temperature range
Alfa Laval is turning circularity into action with the launch of ThinkCircularity, a take-back programme that recycles materials from its ThinkTop valve control units. The pilot project has been well received by customers and partners
The latest trends in robotics can be experienced at HANNOVER MESSE 2026 from April 20 to 24.
Robust and precise flowmeters for dispensing of aggressive media
The modern production facility in Stäfa, featuring highly classified cleanrooms for the semiconductor industry, will be built over the next two and a half years and accompanied by the acquisition of land for an additional office building.
Integrated thermal protection technologies prevent overheating and identify heat sinking issues for equipment longevity
Optimised control solutions for single- and double-acting actuators on rotary and linear valves
Elimination of measurement blind spots with safe and easy-to-install solution
The CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA) will mark its 25th anniversary at SPS 2025 in Nuremberg from 25th-27th November. Visitors are invited to live demonstrations on CLPA’s key technology, CC-Link IE TSN and more
IEC Ex approved device for use reliable process control in hazardous areas
Endress+Hauser is now the sole owner of the software company CodeWrights GmbH, based in Karlsruhe, Germany. The Swiss specialist in measurement and automation technology acquired the remaining 33 percent of the shares from the sensors and electronics manufacturer Pepperl+Fuchs with effect from 1 July 2025. Since 2002, Endress+Hauser held two-thirds of the shares, while Pepperl+Fuchs owned the remaining third.
Digital Interfaces for Efficient Process Automation with Pyrometers or Infrared Cameras
The family-owned company holds an annual Innovators’ Meeting, where it presents awards in recognition of the people behind these inventions. This year, for the first time, the event included an award for sustainable product development.
Easily adaptable illumination and range definition via IO-Link
As one of the world's most important industrial trade shows, HANNOVER MESSE 2025 sends out positive signals to industry and politics. Artificial intelligence (AI), automation, digitalization and electrification are driving efficiency leaps in industry. Strong impulses are also coming from partner country Canada, which is actively strengthening and expanding transatlantic cooperation in turbulent times.
To help engineers and operators meet the challenges of precision batching and ensure accurate measurements and smooth process operations, the editorial shares some key insights.
Compact series for cost effective fan and pump applications
Cylindrical proximity sensors for safety applications
Measuring Light Viscosity Fluids in a range from 0.3 to +5000 GPM
Robust sensor series hygiene-sensitive production and packaging processes
Advanced pressure measurement technologies not only provide outstanding accuracy and reliability in chemical industry applications, but also help to minimise operational costs without compromising plant safety.
Smart Production Solutions, the year-end highlight for the automation industry, will take place in Nuremberg from 12-14 November 2024. Exhibitors and potential customers have attended this platform for over three decades.
Siemens named one of the global preferred suppliers for Merck's next-level automation, boosting global smart manufacturing with Siemens Xcelerator platform
Instrumentation manufacturer VEGA participates in chip start-up
Converts standard pulse output flow meters to give linearised analog and NPN/PNP outputs
Digital integration of measurement technology based on resistance thermometers or thermocouples
Cleaning systems of industrial large filter systems are often poorly regulated and therefore consume large amounts of expensive compressed air. That´s over now: A new feature of the solenoid valve controller HE 5750 of AXXERON HESCH electronics, allows for an exact setting of the cleaning pressure. We asked the Managing Director, Werner Brandis: How does pre-pressure control work exactly and what are further advantages for the industry?
Clean water for rearing healthy fish – High-performance systems for sustainable production in RAS
The measurement of low flow is becoming widely used in many industries. However, the smaller the flow, the trickier it is to control and measure, and finding a suitable flow measuring technology at reasonable cost can prove challenging for both users and flow sensor manufacturers.
Hygienic flow measurement with high accuracy
Absolute sterility, optimised processes and lower operating costs – the food industry is challenged to align its production procedures amid these conflicting interests. The measurement technology employed to check individual process parameters plays a decisive role here. WIKA has now opened up a new chapter in pressure instrumentation: an in-line process transmitter with a “dry” measuring cell takes monitoring of this variable in sterile applications to a higher level.
