Exceptional diaphragm pump lifetime is no coincidence, it is engineered. When a pump runs for more than 11 years under defined test conditions, OEMs benefit from fewer failures, lower costs, and greater confidence in critical applications.
A report analysing a decade of data for over 1,000 large motors and generators delivered globally by ABB’s Västerås facility in Sweden shows that not aiming for the highest efficiency could be costing global operators up to $12 billion over a 25-year asset life. To mark the release of the report, we spoke with Gunnar Porsby, R&D Manager, High-Speed Synchronous Machines, ABB and David Bjerhag, Global Business Line Manager, High Speed Synchronous Motors, Generators and Condensers within ABB Motion’s High Power division.

Real-time handling of process data at its point of production is an integral aspect of tomorrow’s automation system, enabling a more resilient operating environment for plant owners. ABB’s Kim Fenrich, Global Product Marketing Manager - DCS Platform, explains how edge computing complements the functional separation of core operations from a parallel layer of digital applications for monitoring and performance optimization.
Event-based cameras optimise flow analysis in science and industry
By leveraging a digital twin and the AI-powered, fully automated software solution from Factor4Solutions, Stadtwerke Karlsruhe were able to reduce the annual energy consumption of the existing refrigeration system at the GartenCarée complex by 20 percent within just the first six months of operation – significantly increasing its efficiency. And the full potential is far from reached: for an entire year of operation, the utility expects energy savings of up to 40 percent.
Leuze SmartID-Edge controls a network of identification systems and sensors for track-and-trace requirements in production and the supply chain. Secure communication between 1D scanners or 2D camera systems takes place at edge level using OPC UA and full integration of the AutoID Companion Specification. The advantage: Each object to be identified is not only represented by its code but also mapped on a virtual tag in the edge system.

Accurate energy consumption data is essential for companies aiming to achieve climate-neutral production. To support this goal, a consortium of organizations has recently published a groundbreaking specification for interoperable and efficient energy management in industrial and process automation.
Easily adaptable illumination and range definition via IO-Link
Laser triangulation sensors measure variables such as displacement, distance and position on a non-contact, wear-free basis. The most important sensor features are high performance, a compact design and the ability to stabilize the signal with changing surfaces. Micro-Epsilon has now equipped its sensors with the advanced IO-Link interface to network multiple sensors in the factory.
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has been the hero in the fight against friction and wear for years. However, there is also the other side of the coin: as a persistent material, PTFE is currently the focus of the discussion about a possible PFAS ban by the ECHA. Even if there is no ban, the motion plastics pioneer igus has good reasons to look for alternatives. With new formulations, extensive tests and adapted production processes, igus already offers its customers a wide range of PTFE-free products. Author: Dr-Ing. Magnus Orth is Head of Material Development and the Technical Centre at igus.

From driving a pump to actuating an injector, medical devices that provide patient treatment rely on motion systems. Dependent on the profile of the medication, the environment of use, and the needs of the patient, these devices could be disposable, intended for one-time use, or reusable. This decision directly impacts the motion system specification, so to ensure a smooth development process and quality patient outcome, motion design should be involved at the earliest opportunity.
