ABS biedt zowel gebruiker als installatie een optimale bescher­ ming tegen overbelasting of kortsluiting. En dankzij ABS bespaart u bovendien aanzienlijk op reparatie- en onderhoudskosten. Het uitval­ percentage is hierdoor minimaal. Deze nieuwe Analoog/digitaal multimeters Metrahit 14, 15 en 16 bieden naast de sublieme beveiliging: • straalwaterdicht • TRMS-meting (AC+DC) • Frequentiemeting • Capaciteitsmeting • Dutycyde-meting • Min/Max geheugen • Autoranging • Data-hold. Kortom, als u veiligheid en multifunctionaliteit voorop stdt, vertrouw dan op de kwaliteit van de nieuwe multimeters met ABS. Van ABB Metrawatt.

The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are graded according to the degree of danger. Danger indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken. Warning indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken. Caution with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken. Caution without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken. Notice indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the corresponding information is not taken into account. If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to prop- erty damage. Qualified Personnel The device/system may only be set up and used in conjunction with this documentation. Commissioning and oper- ation of a device/system may only be performed by qualified personnel. Within the context of the safety notes in this documentation qualified persons are defined as persons who are authorized to commission, ground and label devices, systems and circuits in accordance with established safety practices and standards.

    The Magazine for the fiber industry 01.2017 | siemens.com/magazine/fiber Fiber industry is in motion In focus International projects #sipaper Challenges for the fiber industry Solutions for flexible and in the digital transformation efficient production worldwide »It’s about more than the production of cellulose and paper, it’s about sustainable mass production of a wide range of products made from wood as a natural material in the age of digitalization, while challenges and opportunities transform our industry.« 2 siemens.com/magazine/fiber | 01.2017 There is another way AnnetteKradisch Each year, vast quantities of plastic waste – up to 13 million tons – end up in the world’s oceans, are broken down much too slowly there, and thus enter the food chain. Each year, mankind also releases about 35 billion tons of carbon dioxide – a greenhouse gas resulting largely from burning fossil fuels. The fiber industry is contributing to ecological improvement by gradually converting to sustainable packaging, using renewable sources of energy and biomass materials for chemicals, as well achieving higher recycling rates. The age of digitalization not only enables new and significantly more variable production processes, some of which are autonomous, it also makes complex simulations and remote maintenance services possible. However, the need for certain products is also changing, and doing so at a rapid pace. In many places this is causing a shift away from graphic paper production to meeting rising demand for packaging and hygiene papers, as most recently happened at Metsä Husum in Sweden, ProGest Mantova in Italy, or Leipa Schwedt in Germany, often under new ownership.

Today, the old model — in which basic research ultimately led to industrial implementa- tion via a large number of development stages in various organizations — is con- sidered far too time-consuming. This outmoded production-line principle needs to be replaced with dynamic innovation networks that integrate publicly financed basic research, application development and product transfer in so-called Centers of Excellence. It’s also a fact that specialized cen- INDUSTRY O Digital Factories Streamlining Research ters work faster and are therefore Scenario 2010: The Magic of Virtuality 6 more successful in the competitive Digital Production: Factory in a Computer 9 in Dynamic world of research.
