Industry news:
Value of PDS grows with data and sensing technology
April 2025, Sensors & Transducers

Rapidly developing technology is constantly being harnessed by proximity detection systems (PDS) to deliver steadily improved functionality to customers. Booyco Electronics sees improved PDS solutions being developed, such as the combination of multiple different sensing technologies into a single fully integrated solution.

The strategic role of technology in today’s economy
April 2025, IT in Manufacturing

In an era of economic uncertainty and persistent market volatility, businesses are under immense pressure to manage costs while maintaining operational effectiveness. The role of chief information officers and chief technology officers has never been more critical, as they are tasked with leveraging technology not just as a tool for efficiency but as a strategic asset in navigating these turbulent times.

Minutes to meltdown: surviving a cyber attack
April 2025, IT in Manufacturing

Commvault recently hosted its Minutes to Meltdown event. Led by the company’s security experts, this was an interactive and detailed ransomware attack simulation designed to help companies understand how to respond in the event of a cyber attack.

Heavy-duty V-belts for aggressive conditions
April 2025, Motion Control & Drives, Bearing Man Group t/a BMG

BMG’s extensive range of specialised Gates belting includes heavy-duty Predator V-belts, which have been specially designed to meet the challenges of drives that need to perform optimally in harsh African conditions.

Pulp fiction or pulp precision?
April 2025, Sensors & Transducers, VEGA Controls SA

The density of fruit concentrate has a direct impact on the flavour, texture and overall quality of the final product. The VEGA Minitrac 31, VEGASOURCE 31, and the KV 31 mounting bracket present a failproof solution that effectively addresses the technical complexities associated with high temperature, viscosity and fouling.

Unlocking the smart factory
April 2025, Motion Control & Drives, Editor's Choice, ElectroMechanica

At ElectroMechanica, we recognise that transitioning to smart automation isn’t just about adopting new technology; it’s about solving real challenges. Labour shortages, rising costs and downtime due to outdated machinery make digital transformation essential for long-term competitiveness.

Case History 197: Bad reboiler temperature control.
April 2025, Flow Measurement & Control, Editor's Choice, Michael Brown Control Engineering

It is very important that reboiler temperature controls operate well in petrochemical refineries, or the product quality can really suffer. I was asked to check such a control in a refinery where they were having problems with one of these controls.

South Africa can become an important EV manufacturer
April 2025, Electrical Power & Protection

A year ago, South Africa was mired in loadshedding, with the importance and relevance of electric vehicles (EVs) far from the public imagination. Fast forward a year and much has changed
