The use of conventional analysis equipment in hazardous areas is complicated due to a lack of approvals. Equipment without ATEX or IECEx certification must be specially protected so that it does not act as an ignition source. At the same time, analysis equipment is essential for many processes. For example, for testing the purity of hydrogen at hydrogen refuelling stations.
Flexible and versatile sensor for easy integration
Accurate object targeting at long distances with a 30:1 distance to spot ratio
Using a Smart Safety Test by safety specialist HIMA, specialty chemicals manufacturer Evonik in Marl, Germany, was able to increase the availability of a propene distillation unit. With the help of partial stroke tests on safety-relevant butterfly valves, the cycles between plant shutdowns can be extended from one to three years. The successful project is being acclaimed as groundbreaking because of its economic significance.
With a modern office building, the company is preparing for the future of its Liquid Analysis branch.

Safety notification signals for industrial, marine and hazardous areas
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.
How Raman process monitoring is providing a spectra of benefits across the biopharmaceutical industry. Dean Stuart, Product Manager at Thermo Fisher Scientific
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.
Emerson’s new ASCO™ DPT Control System optimizes the performance and improves the efficiency of filtration and dust collector systems by providing accurate and reliable low-level particulate monitoring, early warning leak detection, enhanced cleaning control and real-time diagnostics. Early warning through low-level measurement Using traditional sensing technology, low-level leakage is...

Expanded valve selection offers more alternatives for plant engineers
Endress+Hauser once again scored 76 out of a possible 100 points in the EcoVadis sustainability audit. The Group was thus able to maintain its top position from last year and continues to rank among the top percent of comparable companies.
Firmware update adds AutoID Companion Specification V. 1.01 for OPC UA and HF bus mode to functionalities.
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.
On 1st of October Eva Riesenhuber will replace Jenny Bofinger, who will join the newly formed International Sustainability Standards Board.
5th Congress Oil & Gas Automation and Digitalization on October 18 and 19 in Milan
Rugged and compact stainless-steel housings with ATEX approvals
Flexible, container-based solution for managing complex system architectures
For smart devices, use in the oil industry, for example on an offshore oil platform, represents a real endurance test. The Pepperl+Fuchs brand ECOM Instruments subjected the Visor-Ex® 01, the first system consisting of smart glasses and smartphone certified for use in hazardous areas, to this endurance test during its development phase. The practical test reveals great potential for rollout in future applications.
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.
