ABB to acquire GE Industrial Solutions
Supplier of robotics, process automation, and electrification components, ABB, has announced its intent to acquire GE Industrial Solutions for $2.6bn. This follows its recent acquisition of B&R Automation, an industrial software and automation hardware company, which added established product lines in PLCs, industrial PCs, I/O modules, servo drives, and servo motors to the ABB portfolio.
Ultra-high MRI scanner receives EU Approval
Siemens Healthineers has just won the first European regulatory approval for an ultra-high-field MRI scanner to be used in clinical practice. The Magnetom Terra sports a magnetic field strength of 7 Tesla, which is considerably more powerful than 3 Tesla, the current high-end standard. MRIs of such strength have been used in research hospitals for years, so it’s a welcome sign that they’re going to be used in more routine applications...
The key to success is to focus on direct drive systems
With a steady growth, the global gearboxes and gear motors market is amplified by the adoption of more energy-efficient gearboxes and gear motors, investment in wind energy, material handling, food and beverages, and replacement demand from developed regions.Successful companies will be those that continuously enhance the power transmission efficiencies of their gear systems, focus on vibrant market segments, and develop and expand direct drive s...
Upgrade refines Italian biodiesel production
Italian producer of refined biodiesel, Fox Petroli, has optimised its production process by investing in Movicon SCADA, available in the UK through Products4Automation. The upgrade has enabled the green fuel producer to meet increased demand for its biodiesel product, with improved production management.Located in Vasto in the Abruzzo region of the west coast of Italy, Fox Petroli built its name refining oil by-products, but in recent years has f...
