Powerful communication solution with 48 MP camera, PTT functionality and amplified speaker system
Business will be integrated into Stationary Crushing and Screening division of Sandvik’s Rock Processing Solutions (SRP)
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.
Persistent droughts and heat waves in many regions of the world are forcing cities and municipalities to place a stronger focus on the reliability of the water supply not only by optimizing their networks but also by searching for additional sources that could contribute to long-term reliability. Two examples in the German county of Lörrach show how measurement and automation technology specialist Endress+Hauser supports numerous communities with innovative flow instruments.
Highly robust solution for valve position feedback
Axel Lorenz has taken over management as of October 1, 2022, former CEO Eckard Eberle moves to Siemens Global Business Services
Expanded valve selection offers more alternatives for plant engineers
Every day, sensors in production plants collect huge amounts of data. However, companies seldom realise how valuable the correct evaluation of large amounts of data is. This creates data graves whose potential remains undiscovered. The Heubach Group had a similar experience. However, with Festo AX artificial intelligence, it was proven that benefits for maintenance, engineering and productivity can be achieved from central PID data.
Sepura Limited has announced that it has been purchased by London-based private equity group Epiris. The group’s Epiris Fund II purchased Sepura from Hytera Communications.
Digital positioner for pneumatic control valves makes diagnostic data easily available
Decentralized acquisition of intrinsically safe signals from zones 0/20 and 1/21
For the measurement of numerous fluids in different industries
Inline measurements in real time directly in the system and without sampling
An easy alternative to nitrogen purge for void space layup
IR detection to first-class SIL 2 high demand mode and SIL 3-capable IEC 61508 ed. 2 with a proof test interval of 8760 hours.
Around three years ago, EBRO ARMATUREN worked closely with its customers to develop a butterfly valve adapted specifically to the requirements of the chemicals industry. A prototype has already been deployed in the food and beverage sector, including at Schneider Weisse. Besides the FDA compliance required with regard to food and pharmaceutical technology, resistance to chemically aggressive media...
BASF Renewable Energy GmbH will focus on renewable power supply for BASF’s European sites
Reliable leak location for minimization of emissions
The world is going digital - this applies to our private lives as well as to large parts of our work. In the process industries, the focus is often on end-to-end digital engineering, the analysis of big data, or the utilization of legacy data. But in what way can digitalization change daily work routines and increase work efficiency? A practical example is provided by the specialty chemicals company Lanxess, which has abandoned the classic clipboard, thus demonstrating very clearly what digitalization actually means and what benefits it offers.
Enabling 2D vision sensors for complex sorting and quality inspection tasks
Easier integration with new nominal sizes and higher flexibility in valve positioning
8% increased machine speed and boosted machine efficiency to 91% after upgrading from a PLC system to a motion control solution. These are the impressing numbers the liquid filling sachet and tube packaging solutions provider Unette presents after integration of Trio Motion Technology’s complete machine control package including controller, servo drives and motors, to improve its overall productivity.
AIMPLAS coordinated the European LIFE ECOMETHYLAL Project, which has ended with the construction of a plant capable of extracting up to half a kilo of methylal from each kilo of non-recyclable waste. Methylal can be used as a solvent and as a raw material to produce new plastics. The project focused on recovering waste, mainly from the automotive, electrical and electronic, and packaging sectors, by means of chemical recycling.
Early identification and economic assessment of anomalies on the cloud or on premise
Virtual General Assembly elects Vanni Vignoli as the 30th President of European pump industry association
Ethernet connectivity for increased flexibility and simplicity in flow measurement
Contribution to recycling of plastic waste and to increased use of renewable raw materials
While the wheels of industry need to keep turning to produce the everyday items that we take for granted, there is a growing realization that this cannot be done at the continuing expense of the environment.
Autumn is the right time for the annual flu vaccination – at least in the northern hemisphere. South of the Equator, populations are vaccinated in the spring. Twice a year, pharmaceutical manufacturers need to produce millions of vaccine doses in a short time to meet demand for the protective drugs. An internationally active supplier relies on Schubert-Pharma to package its syringes containing the vaccine.
Addressing the demand for industry-standard compressed air in pharmaceutical manufacturing while delivering improvements in energy efficiency, sustainability and margin growth.
Replacement for hydraulic cylinders and long hydraulic pipe installations
Completion of another step in executing Vision 2020+ strategy for enabling Siemens to become a focused technology company
Bühler and Vyncke form strategic partnership to offer low-carbon-emissions food plants
Vision can be deployed in a number of different ways on a food processing line to tell if food is safe to eat and meets the quality standards demanded by retailers. Now the kind of hyperspectral technology that NASA has used to study planets and plant life is being applied to the food that ends up on household plates.
Reliable real-time communication between machines, plants and cloud systems
Reduced service effort thanks to faster identification and removal of measuring and parameterization errors without additional parameterization tools
