Distillery Saved From Coupling Failure Catastrophe

Megan Hale, Co-founder and CEO of Team Repair, an organisation with a mission to increase STEM uptake and tackle the e-waste crisis using the magic of repair, explains how instilling the value of repair at an early age can help inspire a much needed new generation of engineers.

SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC HAS partnered with Glencore, one of the world's largest globally diversified natural resource companies, to transform its copper supply chain through digitalisation and automation to accelerate decarbonisation efforts and build circular networks.

Use of the term 'circular economy' is becoming increasingly widespread and refers to a system based on the reuse and regeneration of materials or products to operate in a sustainable or environmentally friendly way.

Willian Santos from ABI Electronics, who's been championing the importance and value of carrying out electronics repairs for the last 20 years, busts eleven common myths surrounding electronic repairs in industry.

Industry has moved to adopting 18/18 as its standard steel for rotor retaining rings in generators. These high-quality steels are fully stainless to prevent stress corrosion cracking but are not fully corrosion resistant, and Quartzelec has found incidents where corrosion has proven to cause critical damage. Quartzelec’s Wojciech Betlej, Tony Croucher and Stephen Densley discuss how smart engineering studies and considered decisions could salvage retaining rings that would otherwise be scrapped.

With the use of condition monitoring solutions as part of building management systems on the rise, Renew looked at how facilities management company, CBRE is using a system from Fletcher Moorland, powered by technology from Turck Banner, to ensure the efficient and effective running of a range of pumping systems used in the Scalpel building in the City of London.
