In the demanding worlds of wastewater and process engineering, abrasive wear and corrosion are the silent killers of pump efficiency. Recognizing this persistent challenge, global pump and valve manufacturer KSB Group has introduced NoriResist, a groundbreaking diamond-like carbon (DLC) high-performance coating designed to dramatically extend the service life, efficiency, and sustainability of critical hydraulic components. […]
Global technology leader ABB has announced a monumental step forward in its industrial automation strategy, agreeing to acquire UK-based intelligent flow control specialist Rotork in a recommended all-cash transaction valued at approximately US$5.5 billion. This landmark acquisition is set to significantly expand ABB’s footprint in critical process industries, including water, power generation, oil and gas, […]
Global technology leader ABB has released a groundbreaking new report, The Industrial Efficiency Gap, revealing that relatively small improvements in the efficiency of large industrial motors could unlock billions of dollars in savings and drastically reduce global carbon emissions. The report shines a light on a massive, untapped opportunity for industries looking to cut costs […]
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 […]
In a bold move that underscores the urgency of digital transformation in industrial tech, KSB SE & Co. 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 […]
