🚜🌿 Did You Know? 🌿🚜 In the diverse world of off-highway applications, from the vast fields of agriculture to the dynamic sites of construction and the challenging terrains of mining, the need for operational precision is ever-present. Enter the Vertical Reference Unit (VRU), a piece of technology that's empowering innovators in these industries. 🌐 Understanding the Vertical Reference Unit (VRU): A VRU, like the MicroStrain ML5-AR, is a sensor system that measures the roll and pitch of vehicles relative to the Earth's surface. By integrating accelerometers and gyroscopes, it provides valuable data on the vehicle's orientation, enhancing operational precision. 🚜 The Impact of VRUs in Off-Highway Applications: - Agriculture: In the agricultural sector, VRUs assist in improving the alignment of machinery for tasks like seeding and harvesting. This contributes to better resource management and efficiency, helping farmers optimize their operations and reduce unnecessary overlap in their fields. - Construction: For construction projects, VRUs can help in monitoring the positioning of equipment, aiding in the efficient and effective movement of materials. This can lead to smoother project flows and potentially reduce the time it takes to complete tasks. - Mining: In mining, VRUs offer a way to enhance vehicle navigation across difficult landscapes, supporting the operation of machinery in more precise and controlled manners. This can contribute to operational efficiency and help in managing the complex logistics of mining operations. 🔍 The Takeaway: The adoption of Vertical Reference Units in off-highway applications marks a significant step forward in how we approach the operation of heavy machinery in non-standard environments. By providing a layer of precision in vehicle orientation, VRUs are helping to streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and support the management of resources in industries that are the backbone of our economy. #OffHighwayTech #AgricultureInnovation #ConstructionTechnology #MiningEfficiency #VRUTech #InnovationInAction

Increasing energy-awareness creates a demand for well-insulating construction materials. The success of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) is the consequence. Wehrhahn GmbH responds to this demand and develops plants for the production of AAC blocks and panels. Starting with low-capacity plants with little automation, Wehrhahn gradually develops fully automated high-performance plants for AAC precision blocks and panels with a daily output of up to 2,000 m3 – 50 to 80 road trains per day – enough for 20 to 25 homes. An exciting story has begun and continues. Stay tuned to see what happens next. #wehrhahn #marketleader #aac #fibrecement

As the maritime industry continues its transition to more sustainable practices, minimising fuel consumption to reduce carbon emissions is a key priority for our customers. Innovative coatings are an accessible and proven method of contributing to these emissions reductions. However, minimising fuel consumption through the use of antifouling paint requires a deep understanding of the relationship between efficient vessel operations and the marine environment. It is not enough to ensure that a ship is protected from marine growth, our coatings developers also tailored the solution to provide a hydrodynamically effective boundary layer to minimise hull-to-water friction. Nippon Paint Marine’s R&D team developed a patented hydrogel water-trapping technology that significantly reduces friction between the ship and the sea when the ship is underway, resulting in fuel savings of up to 14.1%.

Completion of the conveyor belt bridge in Linz made out of greentec steel ✅   By closing the gap in conveyor bridge 2, the new conveyor line for the raw material supply to the hybrid steelplant (#EAF) has been finished. The installation was a bit of a challenge, because the heaviest of the three bridge sections weighed an impressive 190 tons, which corresponds to the weight of around 120 compact cars 🚗 Completing a task is always good, but even better is that the construction of the conveyor bridge is made of carbon reduced steel from the greentec steel edition 🌿 The greentec steel project of voestalpine is an step-by-step plan that makes a valuable contribution to the achievement of the climate goals. As a first step, the voestalpine Group plans to replace two blast furnaces with two electric arc furnaces (EAFs) by the year 2027. The investment volume amounts to roughly 1.5 billion euros. #decarbonization #greentecsteel #voestalpinesteeldivision
