We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Process Engineers",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Data recorders on the panel and in the field from
Impress Sensors and Systems, which we summarised at the time by saying "Recorders are ideal for carrying out instrumentation checks and data logging functions across a range of process manufacturing industries".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Smart cameras cut the cost of inspection from
National Instruments: "The cameras are shipped with an interactive software environment for configuring, benchmarking and deploying machine vision applications without programming".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Micro-Epsilon UK
concerning its Optris CT hot
- take a look at High-temperature IR sensor needs no cooling
which says: "Noncontact sensor enables temperature measurements from - 40 to +975C in ambient temperatures up to 250C without any cooling of the sensor head".
Take a look also at the news release from Silverteam, Test rig wins company new contracts,
as well as Radar offers cost-effective level measurement from Vega Controls UK,
and Colour sensor operates at long range from EMX Industries.
