Actemium Automation Yorkshire in Huddersfield was chosen to automate the control system for a power generating station’s biomass transfer and storage processes.
"Compact, reliable, connected, upgradable, green. Those would be my priorities in any technology these days". Article by Stelios Manousakis, Digital Technology Director at BOBST. And the more high-tech you go, the more these criteria have to be made a reality – indeed, they are practically inseparable from each other, and the foundation for successful and sustainable innovations.
Demanding die-cast components, such as structural components in the automotive sector (megacastings), place special requirements on the temperature control, in particular on the cooling of so-called hotspots. The jetPulse system from REGLOPLAS offers a reliable and economical solution for cooling hotspots in a die casting die with pinpoint accuracy and reliability.
OnQuality 4.0 increases data transparency, enhances quality measurements, optimizes control strategies and thus leads to significant cost savings. Analyses, dashboards and reports can be created with a few clicks and accessed on smartphones and tablets.
Use in control cabinets for the North-American market requires specific testing and certification of the components. In the case of power applications, they are subject to the UL 2237 standard. binder's 823 and 824 series of compact cable connectors have been developed according to this standard.
