Cepsa, one of Spain's largest integrated energy companies, operates two energy parks in the south of Spain. For years, employees at the plants have relied on Pepperl+Fuchs products to communicate with each other and document daily tasks such as maintenance.
Alongside the increase in electrification, hydrogen will play a crucial role as the key to the energy transition. This will involve everything from the long-term storage of energy up to the molecular replacement of all fossil fuels.
Modularity, loop disconnect function, and fault monitoring for signal lines up to SIL 3 in accordance with IEC/EN 61508 - these features are combined in the new M-LB-4000 surge protection system from Pepperl+Fuchs.
Pepperl+Fuchs presents the intrinsically safe Smart-Ex® 03, a new and future-proof 5G- and Wi-Fi 6-enabled smartphone that was developed entirely in-house in Europe.
At SPS - Smart Production Solutions from 8. to 10. November in Nuremberg, the Pepperl+Fuchs brand ECOM Instruments will be demonstrating a multi-faceted ecosystem as the link between mobile workers and the hazardous areas of a smart factory in hall 7A at booth 411. Smartphones, tablets and smart glasses provide mobile workers with almost unlimited flexibility in every application scenario.
For a long time, hazardous areas remained untouched by digitalization because any mobile devices used must meet the strict requirements of explosion protection due to the risks in such areas. With intrinsically safe smart devices, the Pepperl+Fuchs brand ecom instruments is bringing digital transformation to hazardous areas.
On the Industry 4.0 map, hazardous areas still appear as white spots in many manufacturing operations. The requirements for robustness and explosion protection are high, the terrain extensive, and connectivity often limited. But even in hazardous areas, the intrinsically safe smart devices from the Pepperl+Fuchs brand ECOM Instruments ensure a paradigm shift. At SPS - Smart Production Solutions (23 to 25 November 2021), ECOM Instruments will be demonstrating in hall 7A at booth 330 how the gap between the safety requirements of hazardous areas and the hunger for data of the smart factory can be closed.
Pepperl+Fuchs has now reinforced its position as a supplier of Ex-equipment with the introduction of the SR series.
