The green transition demands efficient storage of renewable energy, to which end a number of Power-to-X plants are under construction in Denmark. They are designed to convert green electricity to another form of energy.
Cocoa plays an important role in Brazilian agriculture. However, the fruit of the cacao tree (cocoa pods) is prone to fungal diseases. pest infestations are responsible for crop losses of up to 40 percent worldwide. In collaboration with the State University of Campinas (Unicamp), Brazil, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV are looking to establish new ways of using damaged cocoa pods as part of the Damaged Beans project.
Two decades of innovation in infrared: Since 2003, Berlin-based Optris GmbH has been taking care of accurate, reliable and non-contact temperature measurement in many different industries and research.
The distribution logistics in food retail are changing: To overcome the challenges posed by online retail, more and more retailers are using micro-fulfillment centers (MFCs), meaning that orders are picked in proximity to the customer. The sensor technology needed for the order picking must meet certain requirements. Leuze offers tailored solutions for this application.
NKE bearings have been installed in more than 4,000 wind turbines across Europe, the USA and China, equivalent to more than 10,000 MW of installed power.
Focus on air purity and efficiency
Ammonia could play a decisive role in the transition from fossil fuels to climate-friendly alternatives if produced from green hydrogen. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Microengineering and Microsystems IMM are developing ammonia-based systems for a mobile, decentralized energy supply in the infrastructure, transportation and industry sectors.
We spoke with Hubertus von Monschaw, Global Director HANNOVER MESSE at Deutsche Messe AG about HANNOVER MESSE 2023 in a challenging environment
The list of challenges facing industry is long, in Europe and all over the world: climate change, energy shortages, disrupted supply chains and a shortage of skilled labor.

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.
300,000 tons in carbon emissions to be saved by autonomous oil and gas operations, says the newly published report
Extended functionalities for modular systems based on MTP standard
The BEUMER Group has completely redesigned and overhauled its paletpac range of robust palletizers. The modular machines now have identical or similar components and modules and – wherever possible – are based on the same design. The total number of components has been reduced and faster deliveries are possible. If replacement parts are later needed, this will also go faster.

Upgrade for reduced repair time and improved efficiency
Simplified security control information makes it easier for operational teams to make better decisions and improve industrial automation security with simplified decision processes.
Powder and bulk material professionals in almost all the relevant industries have finally gathered again in person at POWTECH (27 to 29 September) in Nuremberg.
Endress+Hauser once again scored 76 out of a possible 100 points in the EcoVadis sustainability audit. The Group was thus able to maintain its top position from last year and continues to rank among the top percent of comparable companies.
The decarbonization of energy systems has seen greater interest in the production, distribution and use of hydrogen. To ensure it can become a viable business, custody transfer for hydrogen is essential and this is now being made possible using the latest generation of measurement technologies, as Ricardo Mendes, Global Product Line Manager, ABB explains.

Brewers will often attribute their success to passion, determination and innovation, but once a beer has been developed and branded, it’s all about consistency. Process monitoring therefore has a key role to play. In the following article Keijo Pyörälä from Vaisala will explain how in-line refractometers, located strategically at every stage of the brewing process, enable process optimization, save energy, reduce waste, lower costs and help deliver top quality beer.
The center in Wörrstadt, near Frankfurt Airport, serves as hub for all shipments from the European production sites to the end customers and is responsible for supplying product centers outside of Europe. It is operated by Hellmann Worldwide Logistics.
In Germany, 55 percent of final energy consumption goes towards heating and cooling. However, a lot of heat dissipates unused because it is not generated as and when required. Thermal storage using zeolite material allows heat to be stored for long periods of time without losing any. Fraunhofer researchers are now working on significantly improving the thermal conductivity of zeolites.
