TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION ADVERTORIAL
Trelleborg Joins the Smart Data Innovation Lab to Move Further Toward Industry 4.0
T
relleborg Sealing Solutions has joined the Smart Data Innovation Lab (SDIL) and its first project is ‘Advanced
Condition Monitoring for Sealing Solutions’. The main goal of the SDIL is to accelerate innovation cycles using smart data approaches. Trelleborg’s partners on the project are Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and software giant IBM. Trelleborg Sealing Solutions is continuously working on the measuring and predicting of the condition of seals and it therefore runs a wide variety of instrumented tests. Measurements such as temperature, speed, pressure and vibration are captured in very high frequencies. By leveraging Big Data Technology, Trelleborg will apply advanced machine learning in order to gain new insights, reduce testing costs and lay the foundation for advanced condition monitoring of sealing solutions in the field.

Canty LED Lights ATEX & IECEx Approved C
anty have now received ATEX and IECEx approval for their new range
of fibre optic and process lighting systems. These units provide a higher light output than their previous halogen models, as well as offering advantages in energy consumption (20W compared with 50W / 80W on previous models), and maintenance (LED rated for 5+ years). There is also a 24V DC version available as standard.
Existing installations using the
traditional halogen source can be easily upgraded to a higher light output, maintenance free LED system. The upgrade option makes use of existing fibre-optic bundles and light pipes, lowering the overall cost.
An upgrade program will be available to any customer who has purchased a light system, or camera / light
combination system. For more information on this program please contact Dave Quelch at ABLE Instruments & Controls Ltd -
dquelch@able.co.uk or call 0118 9169407.

Cleaning verification - the unrealised benefits T

he financial impact of poor cleaning is huge yet the delivery of this vital underpinning service is not measured at all. By contrast in almost all other
aspects of healthcare, a multitude of diagnostic tests are performed to monitor and diagnose the conditions to aide recovery, prevent infections and curse the problem. There are many cost effective benefits across the hospital to be gained from the adoption of simple objective measurement of cleaning efficiency and delivery of service. Cleaning is fundamental preventative principle of good hygiene as promoted
by the campaigns such as the WHO ‘clean your hands’ but it does not stop there. The recognition that healthcare associated infections are preventable has driven many different interventions that have resulted in a decrease in the MSRA and C. Diff infections since 2008. Over 15 years ago it was proven that effective cleaning had a cost benefit of £56,000 per ward per annum (excluding the cost of lost bed days and additional domestic and maintenance staff). The concern for increasing antimicrobial resistance means that cleaning practices need to be more vigilant and effective to prevent the spread of infection.

PCB® launches model 639A91 high frequency ICP® triaxial accelerometer
CB Piezotronics, manufacturer of industrial vibration and pressure monitoring instrumentation, announced the release of the industry's smallest, truly- industrial triaxial ICP® accelerometer with high frequency response, Model 639A91. The model features: Frequency response on all three axes up to 10 kHz (± 3dB). • Extremely small footprint (24.1 mm x 24.1 mm) excluding the side connector. • Case-isolated 316L stainless steel housing and rugged four-pin M12 connector • Hazardous area version Model EX639A91 With a frequency range of 0.5 to 10,000 Hz, this product will allow customers to now use an ICP® triaxial accelerometer to: • Identify motor & pump high-frequency bearing faults in addition to low-frequency faults such as misalignment. • Identify high-frequency gearbox faults such as eccentric gears and gear-mesh wear. • Use a triaxial ICP® sensor with high frequency demodulation programs offered by data collector producers.

Minebea Intec host – Average Weight Control Seminar
O
n 5th September 2017, Minebea Intec will hosts the explanation seminar is still the only event that brings
together experts who explain the Package Goods Regulation for average weight control of pre-packaged goods. Any Packer, Importer or Labeller of packed goods, which
are, packed to the Average system in the UK then this legislation, affects despite having an “e” mark on that package or not. The Seminar taking place on 5th September 2017at the
Concorde Conference Centre, at Manchester Airport beneath this iconic plane, experts will explain the requirements of the legislation. Delegates will discover how many companies have used
the information from this seminar to increase profits through a reduction in giveaway or overfill. You will also learn how to reduce the resources needed to meet the regulation through automatic collection of data. This Event, hosted by Minebea Intec formerly Sartorius
Intec brings together Trading Standards and experts and the world’s largest weighing company.
