In its final determination of Network Rail’s funding for Control Period 7 (2024-2029) (CP7), the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) says Network Rail must continue its efficiency initiatives to deliver the ambitious CP7 plan, and to deliver the best value within the available funding for CP7. The ORR also says the efficiency target of…

Among the various post-processing techniques, advanced mass finishing and shot blasting stand out as crucial elements in achieving efficiency and speeding up production. Colin Spellacy dives into the significant role they play and how carefully planned post-processing can be the difference-maker in Additive manufacturing (AM). He also looks at real time examples of the successful…

Developed primarily for use in conformal temperature control systems, the new SBT-series flow sensors from ifm electronic respond to flow rate changes in less than 10ms, even at low flow rates. This ensures that process quality is maintained even in critical applications, and the risk of product wastage is minimised. A standard analogue output…

This initiative promises to shape the future of the gas industry, forging a path of excellence and innovation towards net zero. The National Skills Academy for Gas is a pioneering industry-supported initiative dedicated to equipping…

We’re used to hearing phrases like ‘Safety First’. They’re a reminder that safety is never off the agenda. Britain’s railways have maintained an enviable safety record in recent years, but reports of incidents and near misses demonstrate that there is room for improvement. The Rail Safety Summit has proven time and time again that it…

Whether quality assurance, logistics tasks or kiosk systems: quickly available, optimally focused image information helps to make optimal decisions, avoid errors and speed up work processes. When it is necessary to refocus frequently, it seems most convenient to use webcams from the consumer sector. For industrial applications, however, not only ease of operation is required,…
