The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) has moved forward with its policy of using clean energy and reducing carbon dioxide emissions with smart technology by deploying Siemens' SICAM Microgrid Control and Photovoltaic Plant Control to balance the energy mix generated by the world's largest Hydro-Floating Solar Hybrid Project at Sirindhorn Dam, Ubon Ratchathani Province.
PVL, a leading distributor of industrial automation and safety components is pleased to announce the availability of the TORRIX XTS fill level sensor from Fanfir, market leading specialists in the development and manufacturing of sensors and systems for monitoring and measuring fill levels. the TORRIX XTS is maintenance free and does not require recalibration, minimising cost of ownership.
Siemens Digital Industries Software has announced that Pearl Semiconductor, a fabless semiconductor company specializing in high-performance timing products, used Siemens‘ Symphony Mixed-Signal Platform for developing and verifying its newest ultra-low noise digital phased locked loop (PLL) design, which targets a range of demanding applications such as high-speed connectivity, high bandwidth video broadcasting and 5G infrastructure markets.
With increasing digitalization, automation systems also need to become increasingly powerful and more flexible. Modular control systems such as u-control web can take on both automation tasks and IIOT tasks.Thanks to modularity and the use of newly integrated container technology, u-control web provides the best prerequisites here.
SICK, the global sensor manufacturer, has developed a super-tough radar sensor for collision avoidance duties in even the most extreme weather or harsh industrial conditions.
Over the years, the “Rubik’s Cube” has been a source of distress for many people: Thanks to the Rubik’s Cube Solver, created by three students of the HTL Saalfelden, the complex cube solves itself – fully automatic in the shortest time. The young engineers were supported with the project by the automation expert SIGMATEK.
No other sensor technology has such a versatile range of applications as ultrasonic technology: In the industrial sector alone, its applications range from recording filling levels and volume flows and measuring distances, heights, and widths through to detecting objects and obstacles in dynamic processes. Yet depending on their specific application, sensors often require costly modifications in order to work reliably.
Global software developer eschbach is expanding the European setup for its Shiftconnector® Plant Process Management software to further increase support for chemical and pharma manufacturers in maximizing efficiency and fostering employee safety and production quality.
