To date, the KHS coating of wafer-thin, chemically pure glass on the inside wall of PET bottles was primarily applied to improve the quality and shelf life of sensitive soft drinks and juice. VILSA-BRUNNEN Otto Rodekohr GmbH is now the first mineral water bottling plant to profit from Plasmax technology. The family business is consistently investing in its product quality and the long-lasting freshness protection of its premium beverages – and in doing so is setting standards on the market.

The promise of a network in the field of process plants with Ethernet-APL as enabling technology causes users to develop high expectations. This article provides insights into how to adopt the technology and the first steps that they should be taking in order to ensure success in practice.
The basis for the CIP cleaning process is an optimized interaction of the factors mechanics, time and chemistry. Cleaning agents and rinsing solutions are applied to the surfaces of the plant components via a spray head integrated into the equipment. The movement of the spray head ensures that the cleaning solutions completely wet all surfaces and thus clean them.

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.
Goods and products manufactured with industrial processes often contain water in various concentrations. To date, laboratory instruments have been the most common tools for measuring moisture. While the processes are highly precise, they also have disadvantages. Endress+Hauser is enhancing an existing level measurement technology so that it’s also capable of determining material characteristics, radar-based sensors supply real-time information regarding material moisture.

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.
