Multifunctional measuring devices
Janitza is offering an innovation with a Profibus version of the UMG 96RM multifunction measuring device for energy measurement technology.

To avoid unnecessary Profinet connections, the universal drivers from PQ Plus enable direct connection of UMD measuring devices to automation devices via Ethernet with Modbus TCP.
Audits for ISO 9001 certification are a major challenge, especially for small and medium-sized companies. Data management software can make things easier here: it simplifies process management and allows all processes to be documented automatically.

Based on the Expert Logger high-speed data logger series, Delphin Technology offers a measuring case that combines two applications.

Endress+Hauser offers the Proline 100 flowmeters with Profinet technology. According to the manufacturer, the new devices for electromagnetic and Coriolis flow measurement combine a compact, hygienic device design with the advantages of Profinet.

Endress+Hauser / Rockwell Automation
Together with the measurement technology specialist Endress+Hauser, the US automation company Rockwell Automation has inaugurated a test facility in Maulburg, where measuring devices are to be tested and validated under real conditions at an early stage of development.

Delphin Technology is expanding its 'Expert Logger' series with the Type 400 with OPC UA client/server interface. The self-sufficient data logger system is thus equipped for the universal exchange of measured values at field level and for the requirements of Industry 4.0.

With the EE33-M humidity and temperature transmitter, E+E Elektronik is expanding the EE33 transmitter series.

The installation testers of the '1660 series' from Fluke prevent damage to devices in electrical installations. The Fluke 1664 FC offers an Insulation PreTest function that detects whether a device is connected to an electrical system under test during the insulation test.

National Instruments / NI Week 2016
A total of 3100 developers from 58 countries once again made the pilgrimage to Austin/Texas at the beginning of August 2016 - for National Instruments' annual NI Week.

Smart devices are finding their way into all areas of life. A side effect of this is that a new generation of measurement technology is required to develop and manufacture these devices. Rahman Jamal explains the perspective of National Instruments in an interview.

Flir has launched the MR176 Thermal Moisture Meter Plus with IGM (infrared-guided measuring aid technology). A short thermal scan shows users where the evaporation process is running too slowly.

Endress+Hauser doubled its turnover in just eight years - as at the end of 2014. The company has now presented less encouraging figures for 2015: The Swiss group was barely able to increase its turnover, particularly in local currencies.
This year's 'AMA Innovation Award 2016' goes equally to two winners - both from the field of biomedicine. The "Magnetic flow cytometry" project was just as convincing as the "Nerves of glass - fiber-optic 3D positioning of cardiac catheters".

Industrial measurement technology
Kistler is strengthening its position in the field of quality assurance in industrial manufacturing and has acquired the Schatz Group and its American sales and service company for this purpose.
