Invensys Operations Management announced the availability of
version 2.1.1 of its Triconexฎ Trident safety system. The new version
has two new input modules that enhance worker safety, reduce downtime and
deliver more accurate trip analysis in power and turbomachinery applications,
helping customers to achieve safety excellence. One new module enables faster
response to unsafe equipment conditions; another optimizes trip data analysis
to prevent future upsets.
The
optimized trip analysis is the result of a new high-resolution digital input
module, which monitors changes of state and sequence of events (SOE) and
provides a timestamp resolution of one millisecond with an accuracy of one
millisecond. Process trips generate valuable information about the conditions
that caused the shutdown. Reviewing and analyzing such data can be challenging
and time consuming, however, and having SOE data with a one millisecond
resolution can be a significant aid in determining the root cause of the
shutdown.
By safely
maintaining maximum process uptime, Triconex safety systems can help meet and
exceed production targets. The scalable Triconex Trident safety system is based
on industry-proven triple modular redundant (TMR) technology that helps
customers protect plant personnel and production assets, as well as achieve
compliance with rigorous environmental standards by providing the highest
system availability and reliability.
By experimenting with the photovoltaic reaction in solar cells, researchers at MIT have made a breakthrough in energy efficiency that significantly pushes the boundaries of current commercial cells on the market.
In a world that's going green, industrial operations have a problem: Their processes involve materials that are potentially toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive. If improperly managed, this can precipitate dangerous health and environmental consequences.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
