‘Process Engineers’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Thermometers feature advanced signal processing from
Ircon, which we summarised at the time by saying "Ircon has introduced the Modline 6 Series of infrared thermometers with advanced signal processing and background-reflected energy compensation capabilities. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Ansys software helps Ferrari improve comfort from
Ansys: "Italian car manufacturer Ferrari is using software from Ansys to optimise automobile design and performance.".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Stratophase
- take a look at Insertion probes monitor bioproduction process
which says: "Stratophase has collaborated with the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) to develop an insertion probe variant of its Spectrosens system. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Verderflex, Verderflex Dura pump ensures bubble-free printing,
as well as Q-Sys provides custom-designed motion systems from Q-Sys,
and ABB drives reduce swimming pool energy bills from ABB Automation Tech (Drives and Motors).
