Requirements for operating electrical installations in ambient temperatures over 70°C or at altitudes higher than 6,500 feet differ from the requirements for standard installations due to the different climate conditions. Yet, it is precisely in areas with such harsh conditions, like deserts and high mountain ranges, that offer large spaces and optimal solar radiation for efficient photovoltaic systems. The original Stäubli MC4 connector portfolio has a proven track record for such kind of applications.
Thales Alenia Space, a joint venture between Thales (67 %) and Leonardo (33 %), has been selected by ESA in the frame of the Horizon 2020 program, for a new contract to design and develop a prototype of the next generation of ground station for the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS), called NLES-Next (Navigation Land Earth Station).
The safe analog input module SAI 041 expands the modular S-DIAS Safety System. Four analog current inputs with a measurement range from 4-20 mA and a resolution of 16 bits, as well as the 24 V sensor supply are integrated into the 25 mm wide DIN rail module.
Siemens supplies automation hardware and software to the BMW Group. The automation solution includes, among other things, the new generation of the Sinumerik One CNC control, which offers digital possibilities to increase productivity in production. The new automation portfolio will be used at the Steyr production plant in Austria to produce the electric drive housing. It will also help to transform production for the digital age. Siemens and the BMW Group have a long-standing partnership. The success of both companies is based on driving innovation and developing forward-looking technologies, while at the same time focusing on sustainability.
VolkerWessels UK has today published its Carbon Reduction Strategy, setting out its target of being Net Zero by 2035 for all Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and for those Scope 3 emissions which are under its direct control.
From October 11th to 15th, this international industry platform will present innovative solutions for tomorrow's intelligent transportation systems. Continental will also be there as an exhibitor. The company will be showcasing pioneering robotics technologies that can support humans in crucial areas of application. Three so-called AMR vehicles Autonomous Mobile Robots can be experienced as prototypes at the company's booth: The Continental Corriere is a small delivery robot for transporting groceries or packages in urban areas. The Continental Contadino, in turn, is an agricultural robot that can sow, plant and fertilize autonomously.
Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) and Wood (LSE: WG) today announced a comprehensive package of technologies to support the effort to produce carbon-neutral aviation fuel. When used together, the technologies, which are based on Honeywell's UOP Ecofining process technology and Wood's hydrogen plant technology, could reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 100% using certain feedstocks when compared to traditional petroleum aviation fuel.
Hexagon’s Geosystems division announced today the introduction of the Leica ContentMapper, an innovative and highly efficient airborne imaging sensor for large-scale geospatial mapping projects. With a 40,000 pixels swath width, this latest generation camera provides the highest performance for content programs, capturing high resolution imagery at unprecedented rates.
FPT Industrial reaffirms and consolidates its commitment to contemporary art and sustainability by promoting, in collaboration with Artissima - Italy’s most important contemporary art fair - the second edition of the FPT for Sustainable Art award.
