The companies have signed an agreement to jointly develop the next generation of corrosion management solutions for Saudi Arabian Oil Company, with the aim of preventing unplanned downtime and boosting production efficiency.
It wasn’t too long ago that hazardous zones and production zones were reasonably well separated. The areas where explosive gases, vapors, or combustible dusts were present tended to stay in their own very specific environments, and the equipment operating in those areas was specified accordingly. Today, however, that distinction is less clear.
Grinding organic waste into pumpable material for stable transport
Compact series for more efficiency and performance in an expanded range of applications
For easy installation with high accuracy and repeatability for safe processes
Sometimes, digitalization is really straightforward. For example, retrofitting existing water treatment plants to enable transfer of measurement and sensor data to the cloud is now as simple as plugging in an expansion card.
Ultra-thin barrier layers on packaging effectively protect food and medicine from oxygen, moisture, and contaminants. The Film-Inspect sensor, developed at Fraunhofer IPM, measures the quality of these barriers during the coating process, enabling process control for the first time.
Robust and precise flowmeters for dispensing of aggressive media
Metering and emptying solution for IBCs in the food and beverage industry
Hanna Lundin, product engineer at Emerson, explains in this article how simplified tank monitoring system architectures make it more feasible for companies to implement an automated solution to improve their inventory management, increase safety and efficiency.
The new treatment will reduce the high cost of transforming rice straw and citrus pruning waste into plant-based plastics.
In September 2025, a ransomware attack on Collins Aerospace interrupted check-in and boarding systems at major European airports, heavily impacting Heathrow, Brussels, and Berlin. The attackers never breached the airport’s core IT – they didn’t need to. One compromised supplier was enough to paralyze a critical service. Here, Stephan Nobis, business development manager at automation supplier COPA-DATA, discusses why Europe’s critical infrastructure must move from compliance to continuous cybersecurity – or face severe risks.
For more resistant and durable aluminium drives in harsh environments
APC enables capacity increases without new hardware, energy savings and cost reduction through continuous optimization, and more stable product quality under fluctuating conditions.
Robust technology monitors the most challenging wastewaters
Integrated thermal protection technologies prevent overheating and identify heat sinking issues for equipment longevity
Siemens launches a one-stop security platform for managing communication connections in OT networks. With virtualized network structures it protects shop floor devices from targeted attacks and unauthorized access.
Looks matter, but they aren’t everything: long before croissants, biscuits or waffles are placed in protective packaging, manufacturers need to ensure that their contents are exactly as they should be. In upstream steps, producers pave the way for the highest quality, safety and shelf life of ready-to-eat products. Ingenious technologies that work towards this goal are always part of the packaging process.
With the growing complexity of technical plants, demographic shifts in the workforce, and increasingly stringent regulatory requirements, traditional methods of risk assessment are reaching their limits. To meet these challenges, TÜV SÜD has developed a digital approach, called iaHAZOP, that builds on established risk assessment methods and extends them into the digital domain. The process industry now has a tool that redefines the state-of-the-art in technical risk management.

Stainless-steel motors for the food industry
Enhanced pump design for higher performance
Solving different engineering challenges with the right supplier
For proactive maintenance of air systems and detection of energy saving potentials
Solution to deliver analysis and support for hygienic process equipment
As businesses in industry continually aim to become environmentally sustainable, the demands are increasingly pushed throughout the supply chains. Liquid and gas flow controls, ubiquitous throughout industry, are highlighted within the sustainability drive. Optimising the performance of valves and their controls can directly improve energy efficiency for end users. Moreover, procurement teams are progressively checking that flow control suppliers are achieving a holistic position to meet sustainability goals.
For compressed air and nitrogen, simultaneously measuring volume flow, flow rate, consumption and temperature
For pure compressed air with optimum energy efficiency
Solenoid and process valves for pressures up to 1.000 bar
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are essential for storing renewable energy and ensuring grid stability. However, their implementation comes with inherent risks, particularly related to lithium-ion battery fires.
To help engineers and operators meet the challenges of precision batching and ensure accurate measurements and smooth process operations, the editorial shares some key insights.
Camera-only variant via kiosk mode available
Optional Stainless-Steel Sleeve for mechanical stabilisation
Pepperl+Fuchs Integrates RFID Reader Into VisuNet GXP HMI Platform and Enables Authentication up to Zone 1/21
All over the world, farmed salmon suffer from salmon lice, a small crab that infests the fish and feeds on their mucus, skin and blood, causing disease. However, an innovative solution from the Norwegian company Harbor AS offers effective protection against this parasite. The customised connection solutions required for this are provided by LAPP.
Cylindrical proximity sensors for safety applications
Affordable connectivity for large distances of up to 1.000 m in large plants
The need for accurate flow measurement in extreme operating conditions and harsh industrial environments, such as those found in hydraulic system applications and the oil and gas industry, is met by Titan Enterprises' high pressure oval gear fluid flow meters.
The Volume3D volume detection system precisely measures the load on conveyor belts using LiDAR sensors, an evaluation unit, and a rotary encoder. It detects volume, volume flow, and many other data while simultaneously monitoring sensor contamination.
Industrial processes involving dry foodstuffs or animal feed can quickly create an explosive atmosphere by stirring up dust. Dust explosions present a huge risk not only to human life, but also in terms of destroyed equipment and unplanned production downtimes. Bormann & Neupert by BS&B offers efficient safety systems that effectively nip dust explosions in the bud or minimise their effects.
Advanced pressure measurement technologies not only provide outstanding accuracy and reliability in chemical industry applications, but also help to minimise operational costs without compromising plant safety.
