Industry news:
Innovate, accelerate, dominate
July 2025, Pneumatics & Hydraulics, Editor's Choice, Festo South Africa

Festo’s latest innovations, revealed through the Ramp Up Campaign, offer a blueprint for performance excellence, using the anatomy of a race car as an analogy to simplify and powerfully communicate how their technologies address industry challenges.

Driving digital transformation in the truck industry
June 2025, IT in Manufacturing, Siemens South Africa

Tatra Trucks, a leading truck manufacturer in Czechia, has adopted the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of industry software including Teamcenter software for product lifecycle management and the Mendix low code platform to help increase production volume and strengthen its ability to manufacture vehicles that meet specific customer requirements.

Case History 198: Cascade control overcomes valve problems.
July 2025, Flow Measurement & Control, Editor's Choice

There are many processes where it is undesirable for the load to suddenly change quickly, for example in the paper industry. Examples of level control have involved reasonably fast tuning. An example of a level loop tuned this way and responding to a step change in setpoint is given.

Advanced telemetry solutions
July 2025, Industrial Wireless, Editor's Choice

Namibia is one of the driest countries in sub-Saharan Africa, with an average annual rainfall below 250 mm. To address this challenge, the Namibia Water Corporation has employed one of southern Africa’s most powerful and well-proven telemetry solutions, designed and manufactured by SSE/Interlynx-SA.

A reliable water supply: The make or break in building metros across South Africa
July 2025, Flow Measurement & Control, VEGA Controls SA

South Africa’s urban centres encounter substantial water supply challenges. Maintaining stable water infrastructure is essential for the health, economic vitality and well-being of communities.

From the editor's desk: Riding the hype cycle
July 2025, News, Technews Publishing (SA Instrumentation & Control)
