April 2018

ABB makes largest organic investment in industrial automation at home of B&R in Austria One year after announcing its acquisition of B&R (Bernecker + Rainer Industrie-Elektronik GmbH), ABB is to invest €100 million in Austria to build a state-of-the-art innovation and training campus at the home of B&R in Eggelsberg, Upper Austria. It is the largest organic investment in industrial automation in ABB’s more than 130-year history and lays the foundation for around 1,000 new high-tech jobs in Austria.

ABB to Invest 100 Million in Global Innovation & Training Campus

The new innovation and training campus will develop technologies for the factory of the future, based on ABB Ability TM, in which production will be undertaken autonomously by smart and cloud-connected machines and robots. With this investment, ABB is delivering on its Next Level strategy, which defines innovation as a key driver of profitable growth. The company invests $1.4 billion in R&D annually, and has a team of around 30,000 R&D and application engineers. B&R has more than 1,000 employees working in R&D and application development.

The new research and development campus will cover 35,000 m² and be home to a significant number of state-of the-art facilities. Alongside ultra-modern R&D laboratories, which will develop and test new automation technologies, from industrial control systems up to machine learning and artificial intelligence, there will be an Automation Academy to train and educate customers, partners and employees in these technologies. The ground-breaking ceremony is planned for this summer, and the new campus is expected to be up and running in the course of 2020. Once complete, the Eggelsberg site will be one of ABB’s largest research and development centers.

How To Boost Column Performance With The Right Random Packings

NeXRing high-performance random packings are already in use in many applications. The main advantages of the seven-membered family of packings are high separation efficiency, low-pressure drop and small tendency to fouling. Due to their special shape, NeXRing packings have a relatively large, freely accessible surface with high mechanical stability at the same time. Mr. Vinit Kale, Manager Sales at Sulzer Chemtech Bahrain, looks at how NeXRing can improve column performance and boost plant productivity.

IIoT, Cyber Security & Instrumentation - A Step Towards The Future

The advent of information technology has changed the way we work, with a number of smart gadgets continuously connected to the internet. These gadgets are the ‘things’ referred to in the term ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT). When extended to manufacturing and production industries, this is known as the ‘Industrial Internet of Things’ (IIoT). The ‘things’ in IIoT are intelligent machines that share data using advanced communication technologies for more reliable, efficient and safe operation of the plant. Most of the devices are hooked to the network allowing instantaneous monitoring and control. IIoT has the potential to unleash benefits by providing information to be used in increasing plant availability, resulting in operating the process plant near the threshold design parameters and minimizing downtime. While technology is no longer a constraint, the means of implementing it for use in industry seems challenging.

Secure & Seamless Communication With Powerlink & OPC UA

An OPC UA companion specification is now available for POWERLINK according to a joint announcement by the OPC Foundation and the Ethernet POWERLINK Standardization Group (EPSG). The companion specification describes how payload data is exchanged between POWERLINK and any OPC UA platform. The result is integrated communication from the sensor to the cloud – without any interfaces whatsoever.â€&lsaquo;â€&lsaquo;â€&lsaquo;â€&lsaquo;â€&lsaquo;â€&lsaquo;â€&lsaquo;

Sizing And Selecting The Proper Metering Pump

In process application, large amounts of chemicals are used during daily operations and the volumes of chemicals are large and very precise, with exact amounts delivered according to strict injection schedules. Thus the pressures - from very high to very low – for injecting the chemicals should be governed precisely. Metering pumps have—whether mechanically, hydraulically or electronically actuated—raised to the fore as a technology of first choice for the injection of chemicals in processing and agricultural applications, but within the realm of metering pumps there are many different styles and modes of operation. The article explains the different metering-pump technologies and illustrates how the user should select the proper size and style depending on the injection application for which the pump will be tasked.
