‘Safety Barriers’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
ABB drives reduce swimming pool energy bills from
ABB Automation Tech (Drives and Motors), which we summarised at the time by saying "ABB drives have helped a UK holiday park operator save GBP77,000 a year on energy bills for its swimming pools. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release E2S adds trumpet horns to range of warning devices from
European Safety Systems: "The Spectra range of industrial warning devices from European Safety Systems (E2S) now includes 100dB and 110dB trumpet horns designed to provide an effective penetrating low-frequency buzzer sound.".
In November 2009, we covered the news from IFM Electronic
- take a look at IFM releases safety monitors for AS-interface
which says: "IFM has launched new versions of its safety monitor for equipment on the AS-interface.".
Take a look also at the news release from Endress+Hauser, Liquiphant accurately measures liquid levels,
as well as Emerson Smart Wireless monitors resin products from Emerson Process Management,
and Night Vision plus makes driving in the dark safer from Bosch Automotive OE Division.
