Reliable and ruggedized Ethernet-APL brings networking to the field of process plants.
Ethernet-APL for wide use in process control
Today’s Industrial Ethernet connects any standard ethernet-based protocols. It flexibly integrates devices based on open and vendor-specific (safety) protocols.
BASF is convinced of Ethernet-APL technology: it offers powerful and consistent digital communication in process automation from sensors to control levels. We talked to Andreas Ziegler, Automation Manager at BASF SE, about advantages and challenges.
Replacement for hydraulic cylinders and long hydraulic pipe installations

Stainless-steel housings for harsh indoor and outdoor environments
First-time demonstration of novel production technology co-developed by OMV and BASF for highest isobutene quality and maximum energy efficiency
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.
The increasing variety and complexity of parenteral drugs calls for new dimensions in quality assurance. Fully automated inspection technology with a combination of visual inspection and container closure integrity testing (CCIT) offers the highest product and hence patient safety. Pharmaceutical manufacturer CDM Lavoisier decided to change their inspection processes for no less than 30 products in four different packaging formats. They are now all inspected on the new AIM 3000 from Syntegon.
Reliable, easy-to-maintain and energy efficient pumps
Adjustable from 0.5 to 45 bar in brass or stainless steel
Vision can be deployed in a number of different ways on a food processing line to tell if food is safe to eat and meets the quality standards demanded by retailers. Now the kind of hyperspectral technology that NASA has used to study planets and plant life is being applied to the food that ends up on household plates.

A rotary lobe, a multi screw and a progressing cavity pump – on a floating production and storage unit on the high seas, optimally solve a range of pumping tasks with displacement pumps from a single source.
When vandals damaged the CHP control panels at EDL’s Wellingborough landfill site, rendering the engines unusable, the timing could not have been worse. One week before Easter 2020, the coronavirus pandemic was sweeping the UK.
Smart universal marshalling can minimise costly downtime, simplify operations and deliver better TCO, says Roger Highton, MTL Product Line Manager, Eaton.
