Pre-planned routes and faster report compilation for optimised inspection processes
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.

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.
