The German specialist in mixing, dispersing and powder-wetting technologies, is significantly strengthening its operations in India with the opening of a new facility in Bangalore. The expansion, which includes a larger technical and service team as well as increased local procurement, underscores the company’s long-term commitment to the Indian and Southeast Asian markets.
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.
Thermoprocessing solution with comprehensive hardware and software components
Optimised control solutions for single- and double-acting actuators on rotary and linear valves
Integrating Electrical Signature Analysis technology (ESA) in high power drives turns modernization into a digital transformation catalyst for industrial assets. These include motors, pumps, fans, mixers and conveyors operating in hot, toxic or hard-to-access environments, previously regarded as unmonitorable.
Precision and accuracy are essential for liquid dosing applications to ensure quality and safety. While these factors are vital at the micro level, macro scale applications, involving litres of product, can also make significant efficiency gains by optimising dosing control. To achieve this, selecting the right valve and measurement technology is vital, with the right level of automation.
Vaisala launches new probe recalibration and reuse service
Field tests with end-users in the process industry show positive results in test installations
Niederrhein-Gold Tersteegen GmbH & Co. KG in Moers, Germany has been relying on automated guided vehicles (AGV) from ek robotics. After the system was expanded in 2019 to include vehicles for transporting industrial pallets, new transport robots were added in 2024, opening further functional areas and ensuring even higher throughputs and efficient material flows with their continuous operation.
As the world urgently seeks ways to decarbonise, James Clements from Signal Group explains how gas analysis will perform a vital role – particularly in carbon capture, and not just for CO2 but for all of the important greenhouse gases.
This paper includes a summary review of three phase power systems, the characteristics of common three phase heating loads, and a comprehensive discussion of three phase SSRs and their application relative to such loads.
Merck and Siemens are deepening their strategic partnership with the aim of accelerating AI and data-driven drug discovery and development
The Hungarian MOL Group has achieved a significant milestone in its SHAPE TOMORROW Strategy by successfully completing its first ISCC PLUS-certified production run using circular feedstock at its MOL Petrochemicals site in Tiszaújváros.
Upgrading pneumatic control valves with digital capabilities can enhance process quality and efficiency. Though a full digital control system redesign might be prohibitive, integrating digital positioners and process controllers can offer many of the same benefits without requiring a complete overhaul. Author: Kieran Bennett, Industry Manager, Food & Beverage at Bürkert.
Addition to the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio mainly in the range of 24 and 48 V motors for intelligent, battery-powered drive solutions.
