Reducing costs through an alternative approach to automation
As automation systems get more sophisticated, so development and maintenance of the disparate components and production lines becomes more complex. Here, Mitsubishi Electric explains how it is addressing the problem through an alternative approach to automation system design that reduces engineering time, effort and costs, and helps to bring down total cost of ownership

Achieveing CO2 targets set by the CRS Energy Effciency Scheme
The CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme — formerly the Carbon Reduction Commitment — is a mandatory UK carbon emissions trading scheme covering organisations that use more than 6000MWh per year of electricity, the equivalent to an annual electricity bill of about £500,000. Grant Bailey, Sales and Marketing Director, UK & Europe, of Thermal Energy International, looks at how UK industry can achieve the scheme's targets.

Time for 'skin' to get smart
Cars that glow in the dark and have far more passenger space, aircraft and submarines that monitor their complete outer surface, military vehicles that destroy missiles that hit them. The common factor here is smart skin. Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman of IDTechEx, explains

Maintaining the balance of power
Organisations cannot meet year-on-year energy reduction targets without understanding and identifying the key areas of consumption — such as the data centre. Real time and accurate power metering and monitoring is now essential. But with traditional metering technology requiring downtime, data centre managers have simply been unable to achieve the in-depth insight required, often opting instead for temporary or 'best guess' solutions. However, as Mark King, Director of data centre innovator 2bm explains, data centre power monitoring can now be implemented without a complete re-fit and whilst allowing normal, uninterrupted operation, enabling a fast-track route to CRC compliance
