Yokogawa Electric Corporation announces that its OpreX™ Open Automation SI Kit for Open Process Automation™ (OPA) systems has been certified for conformance with the OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) profile of the Open Process Automation Standard (O‑PAS™), a first in the process industry.
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.
Around 170 IEC experts for explosion protection meet in Mannheim for two weeks to discuss current safety-related topics such as robotics, drones, lithium batteries and more.
The fertilizer sector is caught in a global paradox between growing food to feed billions and the urgent need to decarbonise. Compressors present a largely overlooked opportunity to reduce lifecycle costs and carbon emissions, while enabling more sustainable production of ammonia.
