have been significantly expanded. The current generation of sensors can permanently store the factory calibration data and the last eight calibrations/adjustments in the sensor head. In other words, their “digital résumé” is always available. The sensor uses this data to diagnose its own condition, thus making an optimised maintenance strategy (predictive or preventive) possible. The new pH, conductivity and oxygen sensors are even capable of indicating the health of the sensor with universally understandable displays (a smiley face, for instance). The amperometric oxygen sensors furthermore feature an electrolyte counter that makes it even easier to plan maintenance. Additional diagnostic and analysis
functions open up further opportunities for integrating Memosens 2.0 sensors into the Netilion IIoT ecosystem from Endress+Hauser. The sensors and diagnostics data from the “digital twin” can be analysed in the cloud with the help of various applications and algorithms, which permits even more precise predictions regarding the condition of the sensor technology and possible maintenance requirements, all without the need for someone in the field to investigate. Through the Netilion cloud, the user has access to all necessary information in the form of
documentation and maintenance notifications at any time. Finally, the new Memosens generation
makes simple instrumentation in explosive environments possible. Instead of the system-based approval that has been used to date, each component is individually approved so that measuring points can be easily and safely created and expanded. That means all Memosens 2.0 ex-sensors can be operated with all Liquiline transformers with the corresponding approval.
De facto inDustry stanDarD for liquiD analysis It is safe to say that the digital Memosens sensor technology is the world’s most widely used and best-proven measurement technology for liquid analysis; more than one million Memosens sensors have been manufactured to date and have proven their utility in the life sciences, food, chemical and water/wastewater industries. The name Memosens stands for more than outstanding measurement reliability. It has also provided a boost in efficiency for maintenance and calibration applications. The Memosens 2.0 generation promises other significant efficiency advantages with its additional opportunities for data utilisation and analysis. No wonder then that Memosens
technology has developed into a de facto industry standard for liquid analysis. The fact that Endress+Hauser pursued partnerships with other measurement technology companies at an early stage played a role in further developing Memosens into a manufacturer-independent technology platform. While today’s partners include Knick, Hamilton and SI Analytics, the inclusion of other collaboration partners is still open for consideration.

the ex-Ministry of Defence test site meets all IEC 62388 radar range requirements. TÜV SÜD’s RADAR test reports are therefore recognised by maritime authorities globally, including shipping classification societies and EU Marine Equipment Directive (MED) Notified Bodies. TÜV SÜD’s new testing facility will
significantly reduce time to market for RADAR manufacturers. Previously they had to use multiple sites to cover various tests and were also required to accommodate witness testing by classification societies, as other laboratories are not ISO 17025 accredited.
ÜV SÜD has launched its dedicated Maritime SOLAS RADAR Test Range, the only independent test house in the
Phil Evans, business development director
for Marine at TÜV SÜD, says: “Our new facility is a real game-changer for the marine RADAR market. We worked directly with both MED Notified Bodies and global classification societies to ensure that our ISO 17025 accredited test reports are accepted globally. Also, as equipment manufacturers can now access a complete testing service with a single provider, they can gain access to international markets faster and more cost effectively.”
