Spares management is a complex issue for manufacturers, almost regardless of the sector in which they are operating. Rapid access to spares is of course vital to maintaining continuity of production and avoiding costly downtime.

However, not only are the required spares often of low value and required infrequently, but the sheer range of components to which a plant needs to have access can be daunting. And, for many, that range of products means dealing with a multitude of suppliers across different product areas – from bearings and mechanical power transmission to hydraulics, pneumatics, tools and personal protective equipment (PPE).

Samsung Techwin has introduced the STC-14, a fixed thermal imaging camera with a built-in 14mm lens and 4x digital zoom suitable for effective detection over large areas.

Unlike traditional cameras that rely on light to see images, thermal cameras pick up heat signatures of subjects and objects so are unaffected by extreme conditions such as complete darkness, harsh weather, bright lights, fog and smoke. This makes the STC-14 suitable for use in a wide range of high security environments such as airports, coastlines, prisons and ports. The STC-14 is particularly powerful for perimeter protection over large areas.

Spidex Software has announced that Global Renewables, an innovative resource recovery specialist, has selected Spidex’s Mainsaver CMMS solution to manage engineering maintenance at its two newly-built state-of -the-art waste treatment facilities in Lancashire.

The new waste processing sites are the centrepiece of a 25-year, ฃ2bn PFI project which has the capacity to process up to 600,000 tonnes of household waste per year, reclaiming the maximum amount of recyclables and converting the remaining organic fraction into renewable energy and compost.

Profitability is everything in a competitive environment. BEKO Technologies, the market leaders in compressed air technology, boast a comprehensive program of systems designed to save energy and improve efficiency in the application of compressed air.

From BEKO’s perspective, one of the key areas requiring attention in most production fa-cilities is the acquisition and analysis of data regarding compressed air use. Indeed, many plant managers are simply unaware of how much air is used or how much each cubic me-tre of air costs.

The DRYPOINT® M PLUS membrane dryers with an integrated nanofilter made by BEKO TECHNOLOGIES, Neuss, Germany, have proven themselves particularly useful when employed downstream of compressors (in satu-rated compressed air which is warmer than the ambient air).

However, there have up to now been restrictions regarding the employment of the DRYPOINT® M PLUS standard dryer, primarily in plant construction or in mobile sys-tems because of the limited installation height in certain applications.
