Setting the target of sealing every major highway in New South Wales (NSW) by 2023, the New South Wales Government in Australia has set the bar high. The onus is not just on government, industry and the companies set to deliver on this goal, but also on the various material producers that will supply these […]
Whether you’re designing or testing printed circuit board prototypes, developing new products or new product materials, or analysing laminar flow patterns on an aerodynamic design, thermal imaging plays a key role. Analysing characteristics such as temperature, heat dissipation, latent heat, and other heat-related material properties can reveal countless potential problems at an early stage in […]
In 2008, South Africa had one fixed line offering, only one operator licensed to build infrastructure, high connectivity costs, no peering, limited subsea capacity and limited international content available locally. Recognising these extreme limitations, the timing was right for the launch of South Africa’s first vendor neutral data centre. Fast forward ten years and the […]

Two worlds are converging. With the introduction of specific solutions for the process technology market, Beckhoff is not just introducing new components, but bringing together two automation concepts that were developed separately for decades. While traditional programmable logic controller (PLC) based systems were optimised predominantly for short cycle times as a replacement for complex relay […]
The Fluke 789 ProcessMeter is the ultimate troubleshooting tool for electricians and instrumentation professionals, combining the functionality of a loop calibrator with the power of a digital multimeter. By equipping the 789 with a temperature measurement module and the wireless data logging capabilities of Fluke Connect with ShareLive video call (sold separately), process technicians can […]
Compact, precise and reliable – these are important requirements for automated wine filtration. As space is often at a premium in wine cellars, space-saving equipment is required. A particularly compact flowmeter system sets new standards in cross-flow filtration systems. Before the wine is bottled, it is subjected to microfiltration. Yeast residue needs to be removed […]
Endress+Hauser is launching the iTHERM TrustSens TM371 compact thermometer for food and beverage, and life sciences industries. It features unique sensor technology with fully automated inline self-calibration function for hygienic and aseptic applications. The new iTHERM TrustSens TM371 (also available as imperial version TM372) enables continuous, traceable monitoring thanks to its fully automated inline self-calibration […]
