Intelligent monitoring of moving cables

This video from igus demonstrates the CF.Q module, which monitors the health of bus cables in e-chains after the warranty period expires and recommends maintenance or replacement in good time. Just one part of the smart plastic range, the system provides early alarms even for the smallest changes in transmission characteristics – this avoids unscheduled system shutdowns as well as the associated high costs.

Offshore e-chain powers vessels in open sea safely(31/10/2018)

LNG terminal are looking into new ways to supply ships with shore power, as opposed to using dual-fuel diesel engines (DFDEs) to offload their cargoes, in a bid to reduce noxious gas and particulate emissions. These engines are capable of burning a range of fuels, from heavy fuel oil to boil-off-gas (BOG) from the LNG load. The igus shore power energy chain for LNG terminals provides flexible tidal compensation, even for horizontal and rotational movements.
