How temperature and pressure influence liquid flow measurement accuracy
TodayAccurate liquid flow measurement can rarely be determined by the flow sensor alone. Temperature, pressure, viscosity and the physical properties of the measured fluid can all influence a flowmeter's performance and calibration, particularly in demanding industrial applications. Understanding these variables is therefore critical when specifying a flowmeter and interpreting its output, as the experts at Titan Enterprises explain.
Festo introduces new stainless steel motion series for hygienic and harsh automation applications
TodayFesto has launched a new stainless steel motion series designed to bring robust, reliable automation to environments where hygiene, corrosion resistance and reliability are essential. The series comprises a compatible servo motor and electric cylinder designed to operate either independently or together as a fully integrated hygienic motion system for food, beverage, pharmaceutical and packaging applications.
Smart factory insights solution helps manufacturers eliminate costly downtime
8 days agoBelden has announced the new Belden and Edge2Web Smart Factory Insights solution, powered by AWS IoT SiteWise. The solution helps manufacturers drive continuous improvement across the plant floor by digitising operations and visualising key performance indicators (KPIs).
OEE: Identifying hidden efficiency losses
8 days agoAlthough modern food production lines provide a wealth of data, it often remains unclear where performance is actually being lost. The analysis of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) reveals where processes are actually squandering potential and modern checkweighers play a key role in determining OEE, as the experts at Minebea Intec explain.
