Medical gas leak detection with acoustic imager in Mediclinic hospitals has improved safety levels and cut costs while enabling the company to meet sustainability goals.
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 DCS has been the link to production information from the plant floor for decades. We interviewed Mark Taft from ABB who gives a review on DCS technology, digital transformation, and sustainable production.
The new European HQ of Fluke in Eindhoven, Netherlands is home to a 400sqm customer experience centre to allow customers to experience using products in realistic environments.

For safe and leakage-free decoupling for process connections and measuring devices
Variable measuring ranges from -40 to +330 °C for capture and analysis of thermal images
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.
Modular components with EHEDG certification for use under harsh conditions
A Polish producer of various milk-based products faced a problem of breaking granules during the transfer of instant milk within its process. In Piab’s piFLOW®p vacuum conveyor they found the solution they were searching for to solve the problem.

ATEX certified actuators for use under harsh environmental conditions
MeterQ Solutions GmbH, a solution provider in the natural gas industry, with the help of Qmicro by Sensirion recently completed the world’s first installation of a process gas chromatograph directly in a natural gas pipeline.
Low-wear positioning system for linear and rotary movements
Software increases ease-of-use for operators and safety of storage tanks for liquefied gas
New SIL 3 isolated barriers for analog output signals complete the SIL 3 range for all signal types
Ethernet connectivity for increased flexibility and simplicity in flow measurement
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.
Ethernet-APL for wide use in process control
Efficient and economic separation of hydrogen and natural gas with membrane technology
Size matters – particularly in competitive markets such as pharma and nutraceuticals due to its direct result on costs. Tradichems patented Hipering® process begins right at the start of the process chain by miniaturizing the ingredients. Thanks to Piab’s piFLOW®p vacuum conveyor their patented process is continuously fed thus maintaining the required pressure level.
Just like cellulose, lignin and fats, proteins are renewable raw materials. Their potential for the chemical industry remains largely untapped. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV want to change that.
