The culture of innovation at Endress+Hauser goes far beyond research and development.
Beginnings are always hard – and so it is with the circular economy. Michael Sinz, director of strategic business, explains how it can become a reality for the process industry and how Endress+Hauser is making headway with its implementation.
It’s time to rethink our linear economic model: the consequences of all that taking, making and wasting are getting harder and harder to ignore. But as yet we seem to lack that initial impetus, that spark, needed to set the circular economy in motion.
How much oil is in the storage tank? In international trade, only calibrated measuring devices can deliver an acceptable answer. Calibration can be done laboriously on site or directly at the factory, as Endress+Hauser does. And this is all thanks to a unique calibration rig.
Procurement offers great leverage towards achieving climate neutrality. That’s because with high production volumes – of instrument housings, for example – even small material savings can make a difference.
Radiometry gets used when other level sensors run up against their limits. Simon Weidenbruch gave Endress+Hauser’s Gammapilot new energy.
The Industrial Internet of Things makes it possible: Micropilot FWR30 is the world’s first cloud-connected 80 gigahertz radar level sensor that measures and monitors both stationary and mobile intermediate bulk containers.
The TrustSens temperature sensor continuously calibrates itself in the running process – a milestone for temperature measurement engineering.
