The Edinburgh University Formula Student (EUFS) Team, was established in October 2014 and now consists of over 90 members across the university, with complementary skills in engineering, architecture, business and economics.

The European Southern Observatory based in Garching, Germany, is relying on high precision displacement measurement systems from Micro-Epsilon for a project to build the world’s largest mirror telescope in Chile, which also involves French cooperation partner Fogale.

Working in close co-operation with a leading car manufacturer, Turck has designed a fully automated solution for moisture sensing based on RFID.

Fanuc 3D area sensors enable robots to recognise and pick up randomly positioned objects.

A couple of years ago, LEM’s Sales & Marketing observed the first signs of a technological turnaround: some of the leading OEMs in the servo-drives and robot industry were thinking of abandoning analogue interfaces on their systems.

The challenge: Implementing a comprehensive data management solution to manage and analyse up to 500GB of time-series data per day, generated by over 200 data loggers continuously collecting data and ad-hoc measurements performed by over 400 engineers.

Level sensing is one of the most common functions for process control but it also uses a wide range of different technologies to achieve the same goal; it is therefore important to select the correct design for each application to ensure a reliable and accurate system.

Sometimes the simplest of things can bring multi-million pound installations grinding to a halt, one such example is a leaning load on a pallet.
