In high-speed beverage and liquid food production, every second counts. When a filler stalls, a labeler misaligns, or a changeover runs long, the cost isn’t just downtime—it’s lost revenue, wasted product, and strained schedules. That’s why KHS Group, the leading manufacturer of filling and packaging systems, has expanded its ConnectApp Guide—a digital, mobile-first resource designed […]
In industrial automation, connectivity isn’t a luxury—it’s the foundation of efficiency, visibility, and resilience. Yet too often, fluid power systems remain siloed: powerful actuators and valves controlled by legacy interfaces that can’t talk to modern SCADA, IIoT platforms, or predictive maintenance tools. That’s why Parker Hannifin has expanded its SensoControl controller family—adding new models, communication […]
In an era defined by energy transition, digital disruption, and geopolitical volatility, industrial leaders face a simple truth: the structures that delivered past success may not enable future resilience. That’s why AUMA, the global specialist in electric valve actuators and control systems, has announced a comprehensive restructuring of its Executive Board—a deliberate move to strengthen […]
In today’s industrial landscape, pumps move more than fluids—they move costs, carbon, and competitiveness. Yet too often, pumping systems are treated as “set-and-forget” infrastructure: specified once, installed quietly, and maintained reactively. That mindset is no longer viable. As energy prices fluctuate, climate regulations tighten, and stakeholders demand transparency, sustainable pumping isn’t a niche initiative—it’s a […]

KGaA—the global leader in pumps, valves, and fluid systems—has significantly deepened its partnership with Hamburg-based AI innovator ai-omatic solutions, increasing its ownership stake from 5% to 47%. Announced on April 21, 2026, this strategic escalation isn’t just […]
Big moves in industrial tech! KSB, the German powerhouse behind pumps, valves, and fluid systems, has significantly deepened its commitment to artificial intelligence by increasing its stake in Hamburg-based AI start-up Ai-omatic Solutions to 47%. This isn’t just an investment—it’s a strategic acceleration of KSB’s digital transformation roadmap. 🔍 What’s Behind the Move? Back in […]
SMC has opened its Japan Technical Center (JTC) in Kashiwa City, in the greater Tokyo area. This is the company’s main global R&D hub — the place where new products get developed and tested before they reach customers worldwide. What the Center Actually Does The JTC runs across three connected buildings with research facilities and […]
Alfa Laval has launched its new EnSaLine™ agitator platform, designed to transform mixing processes in hygienic industries such as food, dairy, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and personal care. The new platform addresses long-standing challenges in hygienic production—particularly high energy consumption, complex maintenance, and strict cleanliness requirements—by introducing a more efficient and user-friendly design. Smarter, More Efficient Mixing […]
Global motion and control technology company Parker Hannifin has expanded its DFplus proportional valve series with a new IO-Link Class B interface, enhancing connectivity and simplifying integration in modern hydraulic systems. The latest addition to the DFplus range is designed to improve communication between hydraulic components and digital control systems. With IO-Link connectivity, users can […]
