UNLEASH THE DIGITAL POTENTIAL OF ACTUATORS E
lectric actuator manufacturer AUMA has launched
Coralink, its new digital ecosystem. Coralink supports plant operators across all phases of the plant’s lifecycle, from commissioning and predictive maintenance to active life cycle management of their AUMA actuators. Plant operators can ensure sustained plant availability and benefit from simple and efficient processes in everyday operation. At the heart of the new system is the ability to evaluate the extensive operating data that AUMA actuators record automatically in their role as intelligent field devices. The data can easily be read from each AUMA actuator, including via a smartphone.
clicks. Plant operators can therefore identify maintenance requirements at an early stage and take corrective measures in good time.
Coralink also provides easy online access to documentation, spare parts ordering and AUMA service experts. The new ecosystem is

A new feature is a detailed action plan with concrete recommendations for action, which is accessible through just a few
THERMAL FLOW SWITCH HELPS CLEAN UP E
ngineers responsible for maintaining a sanitary environment in pharmaceutical, biotechnology
and food/beverage plants will find that the FLT93C Flow Switch from Fluid Components International (FCI) provides accurate liquid flow rate measurement for clean in place (CIP) system operational integrity. The sanitary switch with its stainless steel wetted materials and standard 20Ra
finish, available in either mechanical polish or electro-polish finishing, supports both skid-mount and stationary clean-in-place (CIP) systems. The purpose of these important systems is to ensure all the process piping and equipment is thoroughly cleaned per ASME BPE standards to avoid contamination.
Monitoring the process cleaning
solution’s minimum liquid flow rate with the FLT93C Thermal Flow Switch ensures the flow of liquid fluid is maintained during the entire cleaning process runtime. This switch operates over a wide flow range of 0.01 to 3.0 fps (0.003 to 0.9 mps), and it also offers excellent accuracy of ± 0.5% reading or ± 0.04 fps (± 0.012 mps). Relying on its temperature compensation technology, the switch ensures set point accuracy for process temperatures that can

vary up to ±100°F (37.8°C). The FLT93C is easily field-configured or factory preset, providing excellent flexibility, accuracy and stability for all multiple process sensing and switching requirements. Suitable for 0.7 to 4-inch (19.05 to
101.6 mm) sanitary tubing process lines, the FLT93C Flow Switch connects with a secure tri-clamp fitting for easy removal for inspection and servicing. Beyond its application in CIP systems, other pharmaceutical uses of the switch include compendial water systems (WFI, PW and HPW) and solution preparation systems (buffer solution). Special options are available for applications requiring more corrosion resistant, wetted materials such as Hastelloy C and Class 1, Div 1 and 2 hazardous areas. l
