Measurement + Instrumentation

Vaisala's WM80 Ultrasonic Wind Sensor has been honoured with an iF Design Award in the Product Design discipline, Industry category. This is the first iF Design Award for a Vaisala product, and a distinction for a weather measurement device. The award recognises that the sensor’s performance-driven design stands among the best in the world.

Submersible pumps assist in the essential but dirty work of transporting sewage to treatment plants. Prone to blockages, ragging, and general wear and tear, the pumps need to be monitored to avoid events such as overflow and environmental contamination of public and residential areas.

Keeping solar panels clean is an important factor in ensuring they function effectively. Dust, dirt and other debris can block the sunlight that solar panels use to deliver power. Dirty solar panels can lead to a reduction in performance of up to 25% and accumulated dust can potentially cause hot spots that damage cells.

The Rosemount 4051S Pressure Transmitter features more functionality and improved performance.

As digital speeds and device complexity continue to increase, signals under test are becoming  more complex, and engineers face greater challenges in identifying and isolating anomalies in their devices.
