Unlocking value from data
April 2023, IT in Manufacturing, ABB South Africa (Motion)

Today’s digital technologies create vast quantities of data, which is where opportunities for improvement lie. However, much of it goes unused.

Industry news:
Capsules, steam and cream
September 2025, Pressure Measurement & Control, VEGA Controls SA

African cosmetic brands are increasingly outsourcing production to specialised contract manufacturers who use automation and high-precision tools to ensure quality and adapt quickly to regulatory changes. VEGA’s suite of level and pressure measurement solutions offers a robust foundation for profitability and quality assurance.

High-precision measurement of insulating gases
September 2025, Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring, WIKA Instruments

WIKA has launched the next generation of its GA11 gas analyser. It enables switchgear operators, manufacturers and maintenance companies to record the quality of SF6 gas and alternative insulating gases.

Tackling the barriers of renewables and empowering the manufacturing sector
September 2025, Electrical Power & Protection

Solar energy is surging in South Africa, but the energy is primarily self-consumed, meaning many manufacturing sites draw power directly and don’t gain more energy independence through comprehensive energy storage or hybrid energy solutions.

Revolutionising plant operations with ETHERLINE GUARD
September 2025, Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors, LAPP Southern Africa

Ethernet cables often suffer from wear and tear, environmental factors or accidental damage, leading to unexpected failures. LAPP Group understands these pain points and is proud to introduce the ETHERLINE GUARD PM03T/PM02TWA, an innovative solution to keep your operations running smoothly.

The new Siemens RFID communication module, Simatic RF128C enhances efficiency and flexibility, making it ideal for applications in the battery, electronics and semiconductor industries.

Seven years of uninterrupted service
September 2025, Pneumatics & Hydraulics

A set of hydraulically operated Corflex pinch valves, installed in 2018 at a major North African gold mine, has delivered in one of the continent’s most demanding slurry-handling applications.

Introduction to AI-based asset management
September 2025, IT in Manufacturing, Pepperl+Fuchs

For large, complex or hard to reach equipment, unplanned downtime quickly becomes a major problem. Predictive maintenance helps to minimise the probability of this occurring. The digital twin starter kit from Bosch and Pepperl+Fuchs offers an extremely simple introduction to this technology and can also be easily used in existing plants.
