Intelligent communication for decentral automation of hygienic processes
Ethernet connectivity for increased flexibility and simplicity in flow measurement
The modern employee increasingly works in an agile environment. This also includes the workplace. Here, access to all relevant information and data is necessary when working from home, in the office, in the factory or on the factory premises.
Confirming the safety, efficacy and quality of medications is paramount in the pharmaceutical sector, which requires robust data governance strategies. In the world of Pharma 4.0, these need to accommodate an ever-increasing volume of data. Technologies that incorporate gigabit Ethernet and Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) are exactly what is needed.

Reliable and ruggedized Ethernet-APL brings networking to the field of process plants.
Ethernet-APL for wide use in process control
Today’s Industrial Ethernet connects any standard ethernet-based protocols. It flexibly integrates devices based on open and vendor-specific (safety) protocols.
BASF is convinced of Ethernet-APL technology: it offers powerful and consistent digital communication in process automation from sensors to control levels. We talked to Andreas Ziegler, Automation Manager at BASF SE, about advantages and challenges.
Stainless-steel housings for harsh indoor and outdoor environments
Global data volumes are growing exponentially as a result of digitization. More and more industrial processes are being monitored, analyzed, and automated using sensors. The new JUMO Cloud and the JUMO smartWARE SCADA make an important contribution to the development of the intelligent factory of the future.
The increasing variety and complexity of parenteral drugs calls for new dimensions in quality assurance. Fully automated inspection technology with a combination of visual inspection and container closure integrity testing (CCIT) offers the highest product and hence patient safety. Pharmaceutical manufacturer CDM Lavoisier decided to change their inspection processes for no less than 30 products in four different packaging formats. They are now all inspected on the new AIM 3000 from Syntegon.
The current Microsoft Windows® 10 operating system is widely used in the automation industry. PCs and thin clients with Windows can be found in scores of today’s industrial applications. Windows 10, which was released in 2015, is available in several editions and has been continuously expanded with new features and security updates over the years.
Prediction of the range of chemicals avoids production downtimes
3-D event gives you new perspective on automation
Vision can be deployed in a number of different ways on a food processing line to tell if food is safe to eat and meets the quality standards demanded by retailers. Now the kind of hyperspectral technology that NASA has used to study planets and plant life is being applied to the food that ends up on household plates.
