Simplifying intrinsically safe certification

One of the biggest challenges for companies operating in hazardous environments across multiple regions is ensuring compliance with intrinsically safe certification standards. Different markets require different approvals, making it essential to choose sensors that meet the necessary safety...

Inductive sensors in subsea applications

Rotary actuators for control of the gate valve position Since manual intervention is impossible in deep-sea environments, subsea gate valves rely on rotary actuators for operation. These actuators convert energy into rotational motion, enabling the opening, closing or positioning of the valve....

Enhancing special purpose vehicles (SPVs) with advanced sensor technology

Advanced sensor systems have become essential components in SPVs, providing critical, real-time feedback that enables operators to monitor and adjust factors like position, pressure and load distribution. This precise data enhances both operational accuracy and safety, leading to more efficient...

Optimising position control in shallow water dredging operations

Key challenges One of the key challenges in shallow water dredging is maintaining precise control over the dredging machine's position to ensure efficient material removal, minimise environmental impact, and reduce the risk of damaging underwater infrastructure. Unlike deeper dredging...

ATEX-approved sensors for safety in offshore oil and gas operations

Safety risks in offshore oil and gas operations Given the high stakes, safety is a top priority in offshore operations. The extraction and processing of oil and gas involves highly flammable and explosive materials, creating a significant risk of fires and explosions. Many processes in the...

APPLICATION NOTE: Positek's P103 short stroke linear position sensor simplifies bakery machinery measurement

When a UK subsidiary of a multinational food and beverage equipment manufacturer looked to upgrade and simplify an automated dough thickness adjustment option across its range of biscuit baking machinery, they turned to Positek Limited and its P103 series short-stroke linear position sensor to...
