The topics to be discussed this year are more relevant than ever. Kay Petermann from IEN D-A-CH interviewed Dr. Jochen Köckler, Chairman of the Managing Board, Deutsche Messe AG, on the comeback of the fair as a live event.
All days of the fair will be covered with speakers and interesting topics
Users in process automation have the most to gain from insight through data from sensors and actuators. This is where the advanced physical layer for Ethernet, short Ethernet-APL comes in, the data highway to the field of process plants. Many questions must be answered when deploying Ethernet-APL for the first time. This article discusses topologies for Ethernet-APL that can be realized with currently available infrastructure components.
Smooth and efficient handovers for greater information transparency for safer and more productive plants
How production security can be at risk if water treatment fails
Air-permeable rupture for pressure compensation and relief in a single component
Around three years ago, EBRO ARMATUREN worked closely with its customers to develop a butterfly valve adapted specifically to the requirements of the chemicals industry. A prototype has already been deployed in the food and beverage sector, including at Schneider Weisse. Besides the FDA compliance required with regard to food and pharmaceutical technology, resistance to chemically aggressive media...

Companies will be able to use data to better deploy their resources and pave the way towards an eco-friendly and sustainable economy
Brewers will often attribute their success to passion, determination and innovation, but once a beer has been developed and branded, it’s all about consistency. Process monitoring therefore has a key role to play. In the following article Keijo Pyörälä from Vaisala will explain how in-line refractometers, located strategically at every stage of the brewing process, enable process optimization, save energy, reduce waste, lower costs and help deliver top quality beer.
The center in Wörrstadt, near Frankfurt Airport, serves as hub for all shipments from the European production sites to the end customers and is responsible for supplying product centers outside of Europe. It is operated by Hellmann Worldwide Logistics.
In Germany, 55 percent of final energy consumption goes towards heating and cooling. However, a lot of heat dissipates unused because it is not generated as and when required. Thermal storage using zeolite material allows heat to be stored for long periods of time without losing any. Fraunhofer researchers are now working on significantly improving the thermal conductivity of zeolites.
An interview with Mark Pontin, Managing Director at Resolve Optics Ltd. The company specialises in design, development and manufacture of custom lenses and optical modules.
