Steriline will be exhibiting its Robotic Vial Filling Machine (RVFM5) along with other technologies at Achema 2024. With these solutions, the firm aims to upgrade its zero-loss philosophy to better meet the sustainability needs of the pharmaceutical industry.

Additive manufacturing makes its way into the world of fluidics: KSB brings a new 3D-printed containment shroud for mag-drive pumps of the Magnochem type series. Named Magno Protect, the component offers the same safety as a double-walled containment shroud – without the latter’s disadvantages of heating up strongly and having high eddy current losses.

Pfeiffer Vacuum introduced vacuum and leak detection solutions for the hydrogen and fuel cell sector at this year’s Hannover Messe event which was held in Germany.

It is a mammoth undertaking: Most nations want to become climate-neutral by 2050 – and with them the companies in the chemical industry. Because on the one hand it produces energy-intensively, and on the other it cannot do without carbon, the chemical industry is having a particularly hard time decarbonizing. But this only spurs the industry's researchers and engineers on even more.

With chemical and chemical processing industries aiming to forge ahead in their automation and digitalization drive to develop their respective ‘Factory of the future’ or ‘Smart factory’, one thing is certain – it can’t be done without the use of robots at least for the time being. The concept of robots is not new but they have been transformed time and again to meet the challenges of today’s industrial plants especially with regard to plant inspection as well as maintenance and it won’t be wrong to term this phase as the ‘return and rise of robots.’

The same developments happening in the rest of the world are also reshaping laboratories: the increasing use of technology, digital tools and, of course, robots and artificial intelligence (AI). All these trends often go hand in hand with a greater awareness of environmental issues. In this trend report, we present a summary of the fruits these developments are already bearing and will bear in the future.

Cardior is a leader in the discovery and development of therapies that target RNA as a means to prevent, repair and reverse diseases of the heart. With this acquisition, Novo Nordisk aims to establish its presence in cardiovascular disease.

Industrial plants are high risk zones and have to be monitored carefully to avoid any catastrophe. Supervision technologies such as advanced robots and drones play a crucial role here to make the job of monitoring the diverse elements of the facility less stressful, more convenient and less time consuming. Read on to know more about the benefits of these hi-tech technologies in industrial settings.

The alliance is a first of its kind in Europe and will help to accelerate the production of renewable fuels in Spain. With this partnership, Repsol aims to increase its access to the feedstock needed to reach its goal of producing up to 1.7 million tons of renewable fuels by 2027.

Edwards Vacuum has introduced the powerful E2S series which pumps quickly, saves energy and with its quiet operation helps to reduce the noise level in working environments.
