Fraunhofer Application Center develops new optical safety technology reduces transportation accidents
Measurements from up to six sensors on one transmitter
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.
For easy handling and cleaning without tools
Goods and products manufactured with industrial processes often contain water in various concentrations. To date, laboratory instruments have been the most common tools for measuring moisture. While the processes are highly precise, they also have disadvantages. Endress+Hauser is enhancing an existing level measurement technology so that it’s also capable of determining material characteristics, radar-based sensors supply real-time information regarding material moisture.

What comes to mind when you hear the word “app”? WhatsApp? TikTok? Linked-in? Broadening our scope from these examples that deliver entertainment and connection, what can apps do for users in the process industries? Quite simply, an app is an application software that generates benefits for the user - on your mobile device, in the cloud or on a server 'under the desk'. Let’s take a look at three apps for process instrumentation, exploring their different approaches as well as their advantages.
Pharmaceutical powders form the basis for numerous antibiotics that are essential for comprehensive medical care. However, margins are low and production conditions are complex. This has led to a shift of manufacturing capacities to lower-cost markets. With this development in mind, how can supply bottlenecks be avoided? And what does it take to revive local production?

The southern Baden high-tech company SICK was founded by Dr. Erwin Sick in September 1946. 75 years of pioneering performance for the benefit of humanity and the environment gave reason to celebrate. this year: Invited guests and companions of the company from the worlds of politics, business and science celebrated the past 75 years with the founding Sick family and the Executive Board – and looked into SICK’s future – during an official ceremony at the company’s Headquarters in Waldkirch.
Process plants are often very extensive. Many of the plant components are interlinked and their functions coordinated. People who work in this area of plant construction know that there is generally less effort and expense involved in building a new plant, rather than adapting the existing one to meet new requirements. Despite the numerous challenges – and the restrictions imposed by the Corona pandemic and its consequences – the new and renovated production reactors went into operation again right on schedule.
