The new version of the machine vision software MVTec MERLIC 26.03 is now more than pure machine vision software. The software rather functions as a comprehensive machine vision framework. As a result, users benefit from numerous new possibilities, features, and advantages.

Corrugated tube heat exchangers are reliable and efficient, offering a number of advantages over plate and smooth tube heat exchangers. However, for some products and applications, scraped surface heat exchangers are required to prevent fouling or maximise heat transfer. The HRS R Series has been designed for situations where products are extremely viscous or need thorough mixing.

Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection has announced the launch of the M50 R-Series AdvancedLine metal detectors. This advanced generation of metal detectors is designed to support food manufacturers facing increasing demands around compliance, traceability, data connectivity, and line performance.

Based on highest resolution and a non-contact, non-destructive operating principle, interferometry measurement technology is used in numerous industries for quality assurance in high-tech areas. It reliably delivers high precision distance and thickness values says Glenn Wedgbrow, Business Development Manager at Micro-Epsilon UK.

As the world prepares for Stop Food Waste Day on Wednesday 29 April 2026, inspection and food safety expert from Fortress Technology Phil Brown shares guidance for implementing less wasteful practices across the lifecycle of food products. This includes examining how strategic investments in reliable inspection equipment and time-saving digital tools can break the production food waste cycle every day of the year.

As automation systems grow more complex, machine builders are rethinking how they design and deploy motion. Nicola Pezzolato, Application Engineering Leader EMEA at Kollmorgen, explores how a new generation of servo technology is helping manufacturers simplify design, improve flexibility, and build greater resilience into their supply chains.
