Fieldbus systems represent the best way to use the knowledge available from intelligent process devices. One example is in reducing the cost of maintaining instrumentation.

Sandwich belt high angle conveyor technology provides an economic solution for high volume steep and vertical conveying. A comparison of four alternate conveying paths shows of different heights shows the advantages of the system in terms of cost as well as land area and spatial volume.

The Engineering Division within The Linde Group was showcasing a new virtual reality application for the first time at Gastech 2017 in Tokyo.

The ever increasing cost of electricity and scarcity of water in most countries are forcing the utility operators to optimise their plants with the aid of modern technology. Industrial electronic devices, intended for control and monitoring – such as starters and electronic variable speed drives, can lead to 25 to 30 percent of energy saving in terms of electricity consumption. High time to take plant sophistication to water treatment and management systems...

Particularly in these times of increasing global competition, companies in the process industries are searching intently for ways to optimize their operations and cut their costs. Consumption of compressed air — long neglected in cost considerations — has regained significance in recent years, and with it, the use of modern electro-pneumatic positioners.
