Liquid level sensing underpins reliable power generation and fuel storage. From data centres’ UPS and hospital standby sets to remote diesel plant, accurate level measurement prevents run-dry events, sediment ingestion, and coolant loss. Hydrostatic and radar options also support custody transfer, leak detection, and alerts across bulk and day tanks.

Edinburgh researchers verified Carbfix CO2 mineralisation using natural isotopic fingerprints. The approach tracks dissolution and carbonate formation in Icelandic basalt without added tracers, cutting monitoring costs for scaled storage. Results strengthen the case for mineral storage in MRV-heavy CCS projects.

PCB design tools directly shape engineering efficiency and outcomes. Selecting platforms that integrate schematic capture, rule checking, stack-up control, and DFM validation reduces rework and late-stage errors. From library discipline to final Gerber output, workflow coherence determines whether fabrication proceeds cleanly or exposes avoidable oversights.

Nulogy has launched a Manufacturing Operating System for plant operations. MOS unifies production, quality, compliance, maintenance, and warehouse execution on a shared data backbone with real-time analytics and integrations. Nulogy says users see 97% inventory accuracy, 99% fill rates, and 12% OEE gains in nine months.

CISA has published fresh guidance on securing OT communications today. Richard Groome at e2e-assure says many sites cannot retrofit crypto safely, so operators will need stronger assurance, monitoring, and layered controls while secure-by-design comms remain a procurement decision

Southeastern Railway has overhauled its train flooring adhesive. The operator selected TEROSON® MS 9320 SF for its adhesion strength, fire compliance, and faster curing times, replacing a two-part epoxy system that required drum mixing and 48-hour cures, reducing downtime and maintenance risk across its fleet.
-
Emerson has released the Rosemount QX1000 continuous gas analyser today. The hybrid platform pairs paramagnetic O2 with quantum cascade laser spectroscopy for other gases, aiming to simplify CEMS compliance while cutting maintenance and downtime.
-
Viking Precision has invested £1.6m in a dedicated turning shop. Four UK-built Mazak QUICK TURN 250 MSY lathes will run 24/7, targeting higher-volume, smaller components, including tribology parts for advanced test equipment.
