ensure a clearly perceptible visual signal. Dependent on the user’s selection, the light will burn continuously or it blinks at a frequency of 1Hz. T e signal light can be ordered with a radial cable connection or (at request) with a bottom connection. T is makes the lamp highly suitable for use as a warning light on control cabinets. T e connection cable has a standard length of 5m. For application under less demanding conditions there is also a version available with an anodised aluminium housing and top plate. T e LED signal light is explosion-safe and certifi ed in accordance with European Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX 114) and is CE marked. Artidor also plans to introduce an explosion-safe traffi c light. T e AR-049 traffi c light is a modular product as it is based on combining three explosion- safe lights. In fact, the traffi c light is constructed by building together yet another new product, the AR-048.

rooftop air conditioner. T e number of requests for rooftops is going through the roof (pun intended). Today, rooftops are applied in crane cabins and they are mounted wherever there is not enough space available for a conventional air conditioner. With the development of the AR-059, the company takes full control over the entire process and customers get to be less dependent on the performance of international distributors. Artidor off ers full-service innovation.

EARLY WARNING FOR GAS LEAKS A


utonomous robotics allow industrial maintenance teams to better monitor and troubleshoot


equipment even in hazardous areas where it would be unsafe for workers to venture. Since 2021, Fluke Process Instruments has worked with Boston Dynamics to bring its SV600 fi xed acoustic imager capabilities to Spot, the world’s most widely used legged mobile robot. With the new fi rmware


3.3 release for Spot, the SV600 is even more fully integrated with the robotic system making it easier to program acoustic inspection actions directly from the Spot tablet. Immediate insights on user assets are available in Boston Dynamics’ remote inspection software, Scout. “The SV600 fi xed acoustic imager


integrated with Spot can serve as an early warning system with user-defi ned events,” said Mike Slevin at Fluke Process Instruments. “The SV600 can pinpoint otherwise unheard and unseen air and gas leaks, or any changes in sound signatures, proactively saving substantial energy costs. Additionally, this capability helps prevent expensive equipment failure and downtime,


ensuring uninterrupted operations.” Using powerful SoundMap


technology, the SV600 can detect, locate and visualise air and gas leaks or changes in mechanical sound signatures across the process and equipment in real-time before they become costly problems. This provides facilities with further insights into product quality or safety concerns and the ability to quickly detect changes across compressors, pumps, pipes, and more. Spot traverses unstructured terrain


to automate inspections, monitor remote or hazardous environments and provide situational awareness. With the SV600 as a payload, acoustic inspections can occur regularly - and safely - throughout the entire plant. ●
