Weidmüller u-remote Meets the Requirements of the Largest Classification Societies for Use in Maritime and Offshore Applications

Modern ship technology is inconceivable without automation systems. In many cases, the requirements are similar to those in the industry: recording, evaluating and monitoring a constantly growing number of signals; then converting the results into control commands within a defined time. On a ship, automation faces additional, very specific requirements: Space is usually even more limited than on land.

Pepperl+Fuchs: F31K2 Dual Inductive Sensor

In the process industry, powerful sensors are needed to monitor the correct position of valves. Some outdoor applications, such as seawater desalination plants, oil rigs or phosphate mines, place special demands on the sensor technology used. With a particularly tight and corrosion-free housing, the F31K2 dual inductive sensor is the ideal solution for valve position feedback under such extreme conditions.

ABB: Ty-Rap Tygenic Antimicrobial Detectable Cable Ties

The cost of contamination can add up, averaging between $10-30 million in direct costs of a recall, plus lost sales, customer confidence and more. In facilities where bacteria reduction and detectability are critical, a standard cable tie may go unidentified in product and its notched design can be a home for microorganisms. ABB has expanded its line of Ty-Rap cable ties with Ty-Rap TyGenic cable ties, the industry’s first two-piece antimicrobial and detectable cable tie.
