Reinforcement learning powered real-time processes help achieve operational excellence in complex processes.
The food and beverage industry is continually evolving, driven by the need for enhanced efficiency, quality, and safety. Central to these advancements is fluid process control, a crucial component in manufacturing processes such as mixing, fermentation, and pasteurisation. Recent innovations in this area have focused on precision, automation, and sustainability, significantly improving production practices.
Suitable for discharge applications in bulk handling
Compatible with EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP and PROFINET protocols
For hazardous environments and operating temperatures from -40°C to 70°C
Process industries, with a focus on Chemicals plants, are currently experiencing an evolution. Plant operators are grappling with a market that is shifting towards shorter product lifecycles, regularly changing feedstocks, an overall more precise yet rapid approach to production and narrowing profit margins.
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?
Steen-Hansen – a Norwegian manufacturer of fouling prevention and net protecting solutions for aquaculture use as well as of specialized industrial paint systems – has not only successfully overcome quality problems with its newly developed antifouling coatings, but also significantly shortened process times, simply by switching its production facilities to state-of-the-art mixing and dispersion technology.
JUMO has added a comprehensive solution for process technology operations to the automation range. Using the JUMO variTRON system and the new JUMO smartWARE Program graphical program editor, customer-specific solutions can be configured easily and without special programming skills.
The family-owned company and leading provider of safety-related automation solutions has concluded the 2023 fiscal year with a sales growth of 20%.
Digital Twin Platform in Conjunction with Digital Nameplates for the Process Industry Introduced at ACHEMA
The VisuNet GXP and VisuNet FLX series HMIs from Pepperl+Fuchs set new standards for safety and efficiency in hazardous industrial environments, meeting rigorous explosion protection requirements while offering sleek designs and flexible adaptability. Featuring modular designs and advanced technologies, these HMIs ensure operational excellence and compliance with industry standards, making them a smart investment for industries prioritizing safety and productivity.
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.

Veolia Water Technologies has built an ultra-modern plant to produce drinking water in Ostend, Belgium. In a multi-stage filtration process, the water supplier is now producing drinking water of excellent quality – far above the statutory requirements. At critical points of the process – during reverse osmosis, filtration with activated carbon and remineralisation of the water – sliding gate valves made by Schubert & Salzer Control Systems are responsible for regulating pressure and flow rate.
How can mining companies make their operations more sustainable to reduce their environmental footprints? One element that can be perfectly adapted to match the conditions is the efficient transport of the mined material. Here overland conveyors that can move large quantities of material over long distances are required. BEUMER Group relies on modern planning and layout tools to support operators at an early stage of the project and design the ideal conveying solution together with the customer.

Reduced complexity and installation effort with a single-cable solution for both power and data transmission
Mechanical bearings and gearboxes — like those used in electric vehicles and wind farms — are often treated with lubricants to avoid friction and wear. The voltage the components might be under impairs the effectiveness of the lubricants to such a degree that the tribological contacts are damaged. As part of the Lube.Life joint research project, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials IWM have developed a virtual lubricant lab, which can be used to predict the effects of electrical fields on lubricant stability.
Long Ridge Energy is one of the world’s first power plant operators to blend hydrogen with natural gas at scale. Measurement technology plays a critical role in paving the way for the decarbonization of the energy industry.
A PCN Europe Interview with Steve Biegacki, Managing Director of the FDT Group
As a pillar of the global economy, the process industry is facing major challenges: high energy consumption and high use of fossil fuels, rising energy costs and stricter legal regulations make the decarbonization of the industry increasingly urgent. In order to achieve CO2 reductions and higher energy efficiency in their own operations, it is essential that companies drive the digitalization and automation of their entire production process.
