Endress+Hauser’s next generation Liquiphant FTL51B point level detector ready for Industry 4.0

Endress+Hauser’s next generation Liquiphant FTL51B point level detector ready for Industry 4.0

Endress+Hauser’s Liquiphant family has been literally first and foremost in vibronic point level detection, installed more than six million times worldwide since the 1980s when it made its debut as an entirely new measuring technology. Today, it’s the go-to technology for most liquid measurement in storage tanks and pipelines. Now, the next generation of the Liquiphant FTL51B is available in a full range of variants designed to meet Industry 4.0 requirements, notably for the addition of a mobile communication capability that can greatly simplify maintenance inspection and safety monitoring and even optimize process efficiency.

HARTING interface supplies Power, Data and Signals for the “metroSNAP“

HARTING is taking the next step in the direction of the mobility concepts of tomorrow with the Rinspeed “metroSNAP”. Whether passenger transport or freight logistics, the metroSNAP can be used in highly versatile manner. The HARTING module helps the driver use the vehicle for a wide range of tasks in a fast, flexible manner. Like its predecessors — the “SNAP” and “microSNAP” — the vehicle is divided into two elements. On the one hand, there is the Skateboard that serves as an optimised electric vehicle, and on the other there is the “Pod”, which can be switched out in flexible manner to accommodate different tasks.
