Two weeks to go until ACHEMA Pulse starts: More than 900 exhibitors present will present their innovations
For level and pressure monitoring applications
Reliable sensor for permanent process control in hygienic design
“Size changeover” is not necessarily a term that immediately makes people stop and pay attention in the pharmaceutical industry. However, considering the challenges in pharmaceutical manufacturing, which are characterized by cost and competitive pressure as well as strict regulations, intelligent size changeover means competitive advantages in terms of efficiency, product quality and process reliability.
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.
Empower Innovative Business Models
Addressing the demand for industry-standard compressed air in pharmaceutical manufacturing while delivering improvements in energy efficiency, sustainability and margin growth.
BASF is convinced of Ethernet-APL technology: it offers powerful and consistent digital communication in process automation from sensors to control levels. We talked to Andreas Ziegler, Automation Manager at BASF SE, about advantages and challenges.
Replacement for hydraulic cylinders and long hydraulic pipe installations
Efficient and economic separation of hydrogen and natural gas with membrane technology
Smart RFID labelling enables industry 4.0 efficiencies in identification and management of components, products, machinery and tools
The increasing variety and complexity of parenteral drugs calls for new dimensions in quality assurance. Fully automated inspection technology with a combination of visual inspection and container closure integrity testing (CCIT) offers the highest product and hence patient safety. Pharmaceutical manufacturer CDM Lavoisier decided to change their inspection processes for no less than 30 products in four different packaging formats. They are now all inspected on the new AIM 3000 from Syntegon.
Intelligent feed silos on the farm, communicative waste containers in the city and mobile containers that “communicate” how full they are: The use of smart radar sensors VEGAPULS Air helps to optimise supply processes and save resources.
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
Strategic partnership for industrial use of low-CO2 technologies with focus on hydrogen production, heat pumps and power grid upgrade
Start of testing phase for industrial production
Who will revolutionize the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries through the innovative use of digital methods? At the ACHEMA Innovation Challenge young researchers and developers have the chance to convince industry experts with their answers to industry-related questions. Pre-registration is now open.
Low cost display indicator for versatile measurement applications
Restrictions relating to the pandemic are currently affecting all economic sectors and no one knows how long this will last. But one thing is certain: production processes must continue or restart, and interrupted new projects must be resumed as soon as possible.
Cooperation will drive forward “Plug&Produce” based on the MTP and POL standard
Prototype for detecting missing pieces or parts that don’t belong
A rotary lobe, a multi screw and a progressing cavity pump – on a floating production and storage unit on the high seas, optimally solve a range of pumping tasks with displacement pumps from a single source.
Evolving pump impeller technology helps wastewater companies in the ongoing battle against blockages.
How can a feed silo or a glass recycling container be transformed into a smart asset? With the battery-operated WILSEN.sonic.level IoT sensor from Pepperl+Fuchs. The autonomous device is connected to the internet via LoRaWAN.
Smart solutions for research and laboratory applications

Portable tester for hydrocarbon and water dew-point measurement
For retrofitting of ball and butterfly valves
A full portfolio to control and dose powder and granule flow in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry
The use of collaborative robotics in the manufacturing of food and beverages can bring many advantages in terms of savings and efficiency for both large and small manufacturers.
J.D. NEUHAUS celebrates its 275-year anniversary in September
Markus Schneider moves to the management board
Fraunhofer LBF investigates degradation process of polyethylene
Short path distillation preserves valuable nutrients and prevents process contaminants
The Optima Group based in Schwäbisch Hall, Germany, has made sustainability one of its central tenets. To this end, a Sustainability Department has been set up to concentrate on developing ideas and solutions.
High-speed networking helps biomass plant automation at a different kind of dairy farm
Systems Approach helps optimising operation of pumps
Precision weighing and quality control inspection technology is an important element in any processing operation. Reducing giveaway and ensuring food safety both remain significant contributors to profitability.
The Endress + Hauser Group had positive 2019 financial year and sees itself well positioned to address the challenges of corona crisis
