Is it worth switching to LED light fittings? Does the future belong to Ethernet-APL? Are maintenance technicians sometimes the cause of fires? How dangerous is hydrogen? These questions, and others, were answered at the Expert Forum.

Our expert André Fritsch explains how to make your transition to Ethernet-APL as smooth as possible.

Tubes off, LEDs on – this will be the motto from 1st September 2023. Because from this date onwards, fluorescent lamps will no longer be allowed to be put on the market. In this interview, Rico Schulz explains why you as a system user should act now.

Standards are required for using hydrogen, a technology of the future. Work on the "Standardisation Roadmap for Hydrogen Technologies" began recently – with the participation of Prof. Dr. Thorsten Arnhold, Head of the Working Group for Explosion Protection.

LNG is produced by cryogenically cooling natural gas to a temperature below -162 °C in a LNG train. The requirements regarding explosion protection are extremely strict. Russell McNeal clarifies questions about LNG liquefaction.

The use of LNG as fuel for ships is booming. The use of LNG means that hazardous areas will be present on ships which have to be taken into account with respect to the technical equipment. Ingo Emde explains what this means for you as a shipbuilder.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is considered the energy source of the future. Dr. Andreas Kaufmann, Senior Vice President Marketing & Innovation, talks about the reasons, areas of application and potential dangers of LNG.

In an industrial context, system operators and planners can use digital nameplates to store useful information about components. In this interview, we discuss exactly how you can benefit from this practice.

An awakening has begun in the process industry in the form of digitalisation, thanks to the development of Ethernet-APL. André Fritsch is playing a key part in this change and in this interview, he provides a detailed look behind the scenes.

R. STAHL and the Jena University of Applied Sciences have developed a new technology for ex-protected cabinets: EXpressure. The development team offers a glimpse behind the scenes of the collaboration within their research partnership.

Luminaires must meet special requirements for operation under extreme temperatures. Rico Schulz discusses the issue of temperature resistance.

Comprehensive networking in the sense of Industry 4.0 can offer the process industry significant advantages when it comes to efficiency. Jürgen Wenzel and André Fritsch provide a glimpse into technological development.
