Testing for Industrial Ethernet Installation and Maintenance
Transforming Plant Process Management with AI
Robust quarter-turn actuators for safety-related duties
As an innovative technology leader, JUMO has been supplying high-quality measurement and automation technology for the food industry for decades. So it was an obvious idea to have our own anniversary beer created for the 75th anniversary in 2023. In the brewing process, all relevant JUMO products that are supplied to the brewing industry were to be combined in one application. The choice therefore fell on an in-house, modern, and highly efficient brewery plant.
PCN Europe interviewed Rob Watkinson, Customer Support Manager at Resolve Optics about the design for optics able to withstand the high levels of radiation found in and around nuclear plants.

Decentralized emergency lighting for hazardous areas
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.

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.
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.
