ABB’s Head of Mining, Process Industries, discusses the electrification of mining in the latest episode of ABB Decoded and explores how mines can become more sustainable themselves while extracting the minerals essential to creating climate-friendly solutions. The game-changing solution ABB AbilityTM eMine helps make the all-electric mine possible.
With the CEFS qualification – Certified Expert in Functional Safety – you gain expert knowledge on the functional safety of machinery, which you can put into practice immediately. The qualification provides a wealth of knowledge on the relevant standards, EN ISO 13849 and EN IEC 62061, and takes a practical look at how complex safety systems are put together. CEFS is aimed at people with prior knowledge of functional safety.
The art group ‘robotlab’ installed a KUKA robot in the city of Dordrecht. There, it is transcribing the Bible. The art project is part of the festivities for the 400th anniversary of the Synod of Dordrecht – a seminal event in the history of Dutch Protestantism.

The research expedition’s main purpose was to improve collection of onsite observations in the central Arctic Ocean, such as information on how warm and dynamic the ocean is under the ice. The data collected will be used to check whether climate models are able to reproduce the observed changes, which will in turn be used to improve climate projections.

The process of converting electrical energy to mechanical energy is never perfect. As much as we would like to have a 100% efficient motor, it is impossible to build a machine that will take 746 watts of electricity (the equivalent of 1 Hp) and convert it to 1 Hp of mechanical output. It always takes somewhat more than 746 watts to yield 1 Hp’s worth of output.
Motors are continuously being pushed to be more efficient and reduce these losses. Over the years the guiding regulations of motor manufacturing have pushed us to improve efficiencies to new levels to reduce the considerable global power consumption of motors, as they are everywhere. From our factories, utilities and homes and most anywhere you can think of.
How much power consumption aka money are you spending that you do not have to? Take a minute while having your coffee to see if you can save money.
Energy Technology Perspectives 2023 highlights major market and employment opportunities, as well as the emerging risks, for countries racing to lead the clean energy industries of today and tomorrow. The energy world is at the dawn of a new industrial age – the age of clean energy technology manufacturing – that is creating major new markets and millions of jobs but also raising new risks, prompting countries across the globe to devise industrial strategies to secure their place in the new global energy economy, according to a major new IEA report.
