News from Frontline Controls:
Pressure measurement and control
January 2001, Pressure Measurement & Control, Frontline Controls

Before a decision can be taken as to the type of transmitter to use, the measurement needs to be clearly understood and defined

Industry news:
Digital twin for Bavaria’s National Theatre
September 2025, IT in Manufacturing, Siemens South Africa

Siemens and the Bavarian State Opera are digitalising the acoustics in Bavaria’s National Theatre in Munich, Germany. The result is a digital twin that simulates sound effects, orchestral setups and venue configurations in a realistic 3D acoustic model so that musicians, the director and conductors can assess a concert hall’s acoustics even before the first rehearsal.

Where every grain counts
September 2025, Level Measurement & Control, VEGA Controls SA

VEGA’s advanced level and pressure measurement solutions offer transformative technologies to improve grain storage management in sub-Saharan Africa.

SAIMC: Michael Brown named Honorary Senior Member of SAIMC
September 2025, SAIMC, SAIMC

Michael Brown, a recently retired specialist in control loop optimisation, has been named an Honorary Senior Member of the SAIMC, a rare distinction held by only a handful of individuals.

Rain tipping buckets and weighing gauges deliver critical data
September 2025, Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring, Senseca

The reliable measurement of water, rainfall, snow and ice is essential for institutions that require a constant and foolproof environmental record, backed up by statistical data. Senseca has introduced a tipping bucket ranges and weighing gauge instrumentation so that precision rain measurement can be obtained for analysis and which can be loaded to the cloud for easy access.

Say goodbye to missed contamination with real-time colour monitoring
September 2025, Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring

Applied Analytics offers seamless and rapid colour monitoring in processes with an industry-proven analyser that quickly and accurately monitors colour in your sample stream for impurities and inconsistencies.

A South African legacy in telemetry
September 2025, Industrial Wireless, Editor's Choice

Telemetry is becoming a vital component of industrial strategy, allowing companies to harness real-time data to optimise processes and reduce waste. One company leading this technological shift is Interlynx.

The age of grid defection is upon us
September 2025, Electrical Power & Protection

Solar and battery systems have got so cheap that many private individuals, farmers and companies are waking up to the fact that in many locations in South Africa it is now less expensive to be off the electrical grid than to be on it.

Three-phase filters for electromagnetic interference
September 2025, Electrical Power & Protection, Vepac Electronics

Vepac Electronics has available three-phase filters that provide a solution to electromagnetic interference generated by equipment or from an AC source.
