Rittal - New F-gas RegulationRead moreThe new European F-gas Regulation (EU) 2024/573 has been in force since 11 March 2024 and will be phased in gradually from 1 January 2025. The regulation is an important pillar of the European climate strategy and has one clear goal: to drastically reduce emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases and ultimately phase them out completely by 2050. This has far-reaching consequences for the choice, use and future availability of refrigerants in industrial refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

Plukon - Scanning for the futureRead moreThe Plukon poultry slaughterhouse in Blokker has installations from all kinds of machine builders and suppliers. Each of these has its own control system and associated components from different brands. This situation has developed over time, with the result that Plukon lost track of the overall picture. When it became clear that many components were now obsolete, the company decided to have itsme carry out a FactoryScan. ‘This gives us more peace of mind and helps us to better plan the replacement of components for the future.’
