Hanover Fair 2018The nominees for the Hermes Award 2018
The five finalists for the Hermes Award 2018 have been announced! Deutsche Messe, organizer of the Hannover Messe, has made its decision. The winner will be announced by Federal Research Minister Anja Karliczek on April 22 following the opening ceremony of the industrial trade fair.
In 2018, Deutsche Messe presented the Industry Prize Hermes Award to the Weil am Rhein-based company Endress+Hauser Messtechnik: its award-winning product 'iTherm TrustSens TM371' is a hygienic compact thermometer. It has a self-calibrating sensor for safety and quality-relevant process temperature measurements, such as those required in the food and pharmaceutical industries. The automatic temperature calibration of the sensor is carried out using the material-specific, exact and long-term stable Curie temperature of an internal reference sensor integrated in the sensor. The fully automated inline calibration of the temperature sensor is audit-proof and avoids additional work processes for regular recalibration.
In addition to Endress+Hauser, the following companies were nominated for the Hermes Award 2018:
