KBR EnergyManagement's intelligent grid monitoring prevents production downtime caused by power fluctuations. Without continuous monitoring, businesses cannot identify what caused the disruptions. Continuous power quality monitoring in accordance with DIN EN 50160 provides clarity here. It enables targeted troubleshooting whilst simultaneously identifying specific opportunities for stabilization.

Industrial automation is experiencing a major transformation. As digitalization advances, the demand for flexibility, responsiveness, availability, and low-maintenance operation is increasing. Traditional connectors are reaching their limits, especially when it comes to rotating or moving components. You can learn about the available options and the solutions Rosenberger offers in the following technical article.

Heidrive's stainless steel motors were specifically designed for production environments with high demands for corrosion protection, cleanliness, and hygiene. These characteristics are essential, particularly in the food and beverage industry. However, this series is also ideally suited for the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors.

In modern technical systems, safe and compact connections for signal, control, and power lines are essential. D-SUB Combination connectors from CONEC provide an efficient solution by integrating different contact types into a single, robust connector housing. This reduces wiring complexity, streamlines system design, and simplifies maintenance and component replacement.
