Sensors, Actuators
How MEMS actuators power emerging applications
Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) actuators transform electronic signals into something that can be sensed or touched by the end user and create an immersive environment.
Instrument technician’s evolving role
Many plant-floor technicians are being asked to do more as their role evolves.
Smart pneumatic flow control
Reliable flow control equipment plays an essential part in the control of many manufacturing and industrial processes.
Integrating flow, process control improves operations
System integration, operations advice: Integrated flow and process control can significantly improve oil and gas operations.
Optical sensor used for greenhouse gas detection
An optical sensor is being used with the satellite Hugo to detect greenhouse gas emissions from outer space.
Vertical pump efficiency and reliability
By optimizing performance and efficiency in these important pumps, operating and maintenance costs for vertical suspended pumps can be reduced.
Using IIoT for a more energy-efficient pump environment
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) case study shows how to use pump power measurements to save energy using sensors enabled by wireless gateway and cloud-based analytics. Secure and relatively simple technologies were used; see eight project guidelines.
Method finds hidden warning signals in collected measurements
A deep-learning algorithm has been developed that could provide advanced notice when systems — from satellites to data centers — are falling out of whack.
Flowmeter testing, calibration has many challenges
There are several challenges of testing and calibrating flowmeters used in high pressure and high temperature applications.
Technology for legacy pumps developed
Every industrial process delivers benefits for people around the world and nearly all of them involve a pumping operation at some point and keeping these essential assets operational is an important task.
