Build, Operate, and Scale Data Centers with Confidence Through Industrial-Grade Measurement

by Jim Cahill, Aaron Noviski, Wally Baker | Sep 11, 2026 | Data Centers, Measurement Instrumentation

Data center project teams face mounting pressure from higher thermal loads, the adoption of liquid cooling systems, growing integration points between equipment, and aggressive schedules that leave little room for rework. In this environment, measurement is no longer simply about monitoring performance. It provides the operational confidence needed to commission systems faster, validate readiness, and maintain uptime.

Closing Measurement Gaps with Non-Intrusive Measurement Technologies

by Jim Cahill, Michael Machuca | Aug 31, 2026 | Chemical, Measurement Instrumentation

Plants often operate with measurement gaps that limit visibility into critical processes and assets. Organizations cannot improve what they do not measure, making accurate and accessible process data a foundational requirement for operational improvement.

Level Measurement: The Quiet Force Behind Safer, Smarter South African Mines

by Jim Cahill, Shivam Misra | Aug 28, 2026 | Measurement Instrumentation, Metals, Mining, Minerals

Measurement instrumentation is what lets a mine speed up without losing control. Measure the right points, control the process better, and you can push output while still meeting safety and sustainability goals.

Introducing Micro Motion™ Dynamic Internal Pressure: A New Approach to Pressure Compensation in Coriolis Flow Measurement

by James Deacy, Jarrod Zacher | Aug 25, 2026 | Energy Transportation & Storage, Flow, Measurement Instrumentation, Oil & Gas, Operational Excellence

8 Pressure Has Always Been a Hidden Challenge in Coriolis Measurement Coriolis flow meters are widely recognized as one of the most accurate technologies for measuring mass flow and density. However, in high-pressure applications, process pressure can influence the...

The ability to accurately and reliably measure the level of stored solids materials such as powders, grains and pellets is vital for effective inventory management and preventing safety incidents across the process and manufacturing industries. This subject is...

Gas Analyzers for CEMS: Bringing Simplicity to a Complex Situation

by Beth Livingstone | Aug 17, 2026 | Measurement Instrumentation

There was a time when an engineer tasked with assembling a continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS) for a combustion-based power plant or in-house generating unit would be stuck selecting a specialized analyzer technology to match every pollutant subject to...

Improving Solids Level Measurement Reliability with Non-Contacting Radar

by Rupchanda Barman | Aug 14, 2026 | Level, Measurement Instrumentation, Power Generation

Automation has brought significant improvements in safety, efficiency and productivity across process industries. However, unplanned downtime continues to impact overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), with lost production and maintenance costs directly affecting...

From Smart Devices to Actionable Insights

by Jim Cahill, Tom Mullins, Tinh Phan | Aug 13, 2026 | Industrial Software, Measurement Instrumentation, Valves, Actuators & Regulators

Most devices are smart, but the data is often stranded in the device. What is usually missing is written instructions, carried through procurement and design, that say which data comes out, where it lands, and what someone does with it. Without the instructions, the asset management software ships uninstalled or installed but not utilized, the input/output cards get ordered without HART capability, and the plant starts up with 4-20 milliamp signals and nothing else.

When Data Centers Include Onsite Power Generation, Emissions Monitoring Calls for the Latest Technology

by Keith Linsley | Aug 5, 2026 | Energy & Emissions, Industrial Energy & Onsite Utilities, Measurement Instrumentation, OEM / Engineered Solutions Providers, Power Generation

When the owners of a data center say that it must operate 24/7/365, they’re serious, and the thought of being at the mercy of the conventional electric grid to keep going without interruption is often not acceptable. This leaves many sites with their own surprisingly...

Smarter Flow Measurement for Life Sciences: A Window into Batch, Cleaning, and Meter Health

by Jim Cahill, Tom Belling, Rob O’Flaherty, Joel Duvall | Jul 20, 2026 | Flow, Life Sciences & Medical

Life sciences manufacturers face increasing pressure to ensure regulatory compliance, real-time release, and validated process control as they scale production. When measurement confidence is low, teams add manual checks, increase calibration frequency, and accept downtime that delays the next batch.

Why Wireless Technologies are an Ideal Solution for Many Level Measurement Applications in the Chemical Industry

by Jenny Leion | Jul 20, 2026 | Chemical, Level

An expanding range of wireless technologies is helping chemical manufacturers extend level measurement coverage and improve operational efficiency across even the most remote assets.

Rethinking Calibration Standards: How EuroLoop Is Setting a New Benchmark with Ultrasonic Technology

by Mike Thackray | Jul 16, 2026 | Flow, Industrial Energy & Onsite Utilities, Measurement Instrumentation, Oil & Gas, Operational Excellence

For decades, calibration facilities have relied on turbine meters as the reference standard for high-pressure gas measurement. Their repeatability made them the trusted backbone of custody transfer calibration where measurement accuracy directly impacts financial...
