Van fysieke knoppen naar een touchscreen die meedenkt
Shannon Machines bouwt machines waarop verschillende soorten kunststof worden verwarmd. De vorige generatie werkte met een verouderde PLC en fysieke knoppen, waarbij het display al na tien seconden uitging en instellingen niet konden worden opgeslagen. Met de groei van…
Brooks Instrument Launches Ultra-Compact, High-Performance Mass Flow Controllers
Brooks Instrument announced the global launch of its new ultra-compact AMF Series™ Advanced Mass Flow Controller. About the size of a standard Post-it® Note pad, it has the smallest footprint of any mass flow controller (MFC) in its performance class. Read more
FLOW FORWARD: When Volume Is Not Enough, Mass Matters
Previous posts covered the basics of measuring flow with a flow meter and controlling it with a flow controller. But when volume measurement is not accurate enough for an application, mass flow measurement can provide a solution. In gas applications, changes in temperature or pressure can significantly affect volume measurements. A mass flow meter measures the…
Digitalisering hoeft geen miljoenenproject te zijn
Veel procesinstallaties hebben al waardevolle HART informatie in het veld, alleen niemand leest ’m uit. De EL6184 maakt die verborgen data direct beschikbaar, zonder downtime, zonder ombouw. Slimmer, niet groter. Lees hier meer over de EL6184 [Bron foto: Beckhoff Automation Process Industry op linkedin.com]

R2D Automation: Achieving complete software development autonomy with Agileo’s A²ECF-SEMI framework
R2D Automation is a leading developer and manufacturer of wafer handling equipment as well as automation solutions for furnaces. Back in 2013, the company was using outdated, in-house developed software. What R2D Automation really needed was a solid software foundation to start developing communication systems for the fab equipment they manufactured. They integrated Agileo Automation’s…
A critical pillar of process control
In metal AM, inert shielding gas flow is not just a supporting function—it’s a critical pillar of process control. As systems scale, so does the challenge. Larger build volumes, higher laser counts, and increased laser power all drive a higher rate of process emissions. Without precise control, spatter and condensate fumes can compromise consistency and part…

A fine of up to €15 million for bad code? The CRA is changing the game for every developer in the EU
This September, the first binding phase of the European Union’s new Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) takes effect, reshaping the rules for developing and selling products with digital elements (both software and hardware containing software) within the EU market and introducing new obligations for software companies. However, the CRA isn’t just another layer of regulatory red tape…
The critical role of timing and accuracy in tech supply chains
High-tech supply chains revolve around timing, accuracy, and reliability. Components are often high-value, essential to manufacturing processes, and moved globally between suppliers, manufacturing sites, and end customers. Any delay or deviation has direct consequences for planning, capacity, and contractual obligations. In this context, visibility is crucial but visibility alone is not enough. Read more
