Scadalliance's range of sensors and specialized data loggers/controllers allow for the creation of flexible solutions for flow measurement in open channels, flumes, or weirs. From simple local stand-alone flowmeters and data loggers to communicating systems, the company says, solutions can be adapted to most configurations and needs: entrance/exit of wastewater treatment plants; sewer or rainwater networks; storm overflows; watercourses, rivers, irrigation channels; industrial effluents; caustic and corrosive flows. Benefits include a choice of level and velocity measurement sensors, non-contact, submerged or hybrid, and a choice of data loggers and controllers, for local or telemetry operation. Solutions can also be easily integrated into existing control and SCADA systems, it adds.

Endress+Hauser has introduced Netilion Water Network Insights (NWNI), a system said to provide water and wastewater operators with all the critical data from their operations, from any location, any time of day and on any screen — a control room monitor, or a laptop, tablet, or smart phone. The transparency created can generate operational improvements, the company says, even important cost savings. NWNI interfaces with all levels of a water system wherever they are, offering utilities and process water monitors tailor-made solutions from a single source. These include everything from real-time monitoring of all field devices, providing components for data recording, transferring and archiving to performing data evaluation and one-of-a-kind forecasting functions. From their screen of choice, users can view all measurement data, be it water volume, pressure, level or chemical quality parameters. In case of failures or if limit values are exceeded, an alarm is sent automatically via email or SMS to a smart device or the control room.

The Productivity Master platform from Festo is designed to show how digital manufacturing can offer customers individualized products created by a fully automated process, from order placement to delivery. The platform is said to seamlessly connect all handling hardware and software to create a digitalized production line that can be monitored by anyone from anywhere but is otherwise hands off from the vendor’s perspective. It requires no human interaction with the customer and only such intervention as is necessary to maintain the system. All components, axis mechanics and software are planned as a complete system.
