Yokogawa’s most accurate power analyser enables precise verification of power losses in transformers
High Intensity LED Module for Photochemical Flow Applications
Borealis™ from Uniqsis is a new high intensity LED lamp unit, available in a range of fixed wavelengths (370, 410, 440, 460 and 520nm), that converts their Cold Coil™ standalone reactor module into a flow reactor for pho- tochemical applications. Both the Borealis™ LED lamp and the Cold Coil™ reactor modules require liquid cool- ing from either a piped water supply or a closed loop re- circulator. Fitted with a safety interlock, to prevent accidental ex-
posure to high intensity light, the LED lamps are powered by a programable power supply that automatically de- tects the wavelength of the Borealis™ LED module and adjusts the output characteristics accordingly. A tem- perature sensor and safety cut-out are fitted to protect the LEDs from overheating. An Inert gas purge input is provided for low temperature use.

Yokogawa has launched the WT5000 Precision Power Analyzer – Transformer Version, which is dedicated to helping transformer manufacturers develop and validate the losses of highly efficient products for utility industry customers.
Transformers play a crucial role in
the power grid. With electricity de- mand set to soar to as much as 40 TWh by 2040 and with transformers responsible for some 4% of distribution network losses, achieving more efficient transformers has never been more important.
Owners of distribution networks impose penalties on transformer manufacturers according to the
degree of losses measured during the no load test. As these penalties can exceed 13,000 EUR per kilowatt and include the measurement uncertainty, it is vital for transformer manufacturers to measure these losses accurately and with minimum uncertainty. This lowers the cost of penalties and builds greater trust with customers.
The WT5000 Precision Power Analyzer – Transformer Version helps manufacturers achieve the highly
accurate analysis needed to develop economical and efficient transformers. The instrument is equipped with a special input module that has much better uncertainty specifications for transformer testing.
The WT5000 Precision Power Analyzer -Transformer Version is Yokogawa’s most accurate power
analyser, offering accuracy of 0.008% at unity power factor and offering the best accuracies at low power factors for commercial frequencies of 45 to 66 Hz. Low power factors have a dramatic effect on accuracy. The instrument offers accuracy of 0.6% of the reading for measurement, even at a power factor as low as 0.001 at 100 V and 1 A.

ABB FlexBuffer™ robot cell offers fast, flexible, efficient order handling
ABB is responding to the growing consumer demand for choice and fast delivery with the launch of its FlexBuffer™ application cell. FlexBuffer brings new levels of flexibility for logistics, food and beverage, healthcare, consumer packaged goods, restaurants and retailers, offering a highly adaptable multi-functional solution for handling a variety of tasks such as sequencing, buffering, storage and order consolidation. “Today’s changing consumer landscape and the explosion of
ecommerce are challenging the conventional order processing and delivery systems,” says Marc Segura, Group Senior Vice President Managing Director Consumer Segments & Service Robotics at ABB. “The FlexBuffer meets these challenges by bringing automated storage and retrieval and goods sequencing to all facilities, enabling our customers to store and retrieve goods in any sequence and quickly scale up their operations if required.” Comprising of an ABB robot, a suite of grippers, a software package,
storage racking and infeed and outfeed conveyors that feed and dispatch goods, FlexBuffer provides a flexible and cost effective multi-functional solution for quickly processing a wide variety of customer orders. Incoming orders are managed by software that interfaces with
WMS, ERP and AMS systems. The software manages the storage and retrieval of mixed items, avoiding collisions and optimizing storage use. Information from the software is used by the robot to store goods in the appropriate rack positions, based on the sequence in which they need to be dispatched. When objects need to be retrieved, the robot can select the requested goods in the right sequence and place them on the outbound conveyor, ready for dispatch. Ordering goods according to pre-defined sequences ensures companies can achieve delivery times and fill customized orders with the correct item weights, item temperatures or specific order related attributes. The FlexBuffer can also help companies form an Order

Consolidation Buffer (OCB), allowing temporary storage of goods before further processing. Available in both single and mixed item versions, FlexBuffer can
handle a total payload of up to 50kg and can store up to 600 totes, and can conduct sequencing operations at up to 500 cycles per hour. FlexBuffer’s benefits are already being proven in applications
worldwide. Pilot installations include a pharmaceuticals storage and bin-picking application at the Shanghai 7th Hospital in China, an automatic retail store for Chinese mobile communications company Huawei that allows customers to collect their mobile phone orders via an automated booth, and an order picking system for British retailer, John Lewis & Partners.
