Responsible Production & the Circular Economy

Forest Management: Killing The Goose

A curious dilemma has emerged for the environmental community seeking to encourage companies to adopt sustainable production practices through the vehicle of market-based, voluntary certifications.

From Big Data to Smart Data: Gear Units Go Digital

Siemens has developed a digital measurement technology that records stress in gear units during their operation. The data can then be used to optimize the design of a new gear unit for the same application. This enables overspecification to be avoided without running any risk of undersized units failing due to overloading. Procurement costs are thus reduced, and the data also provide information on how to optimally operate the unit. Flender Gearlog – the name of the measurement technology – incorporates various sensors and a specially developed computer including software for evaluating the data.

Video – Caterpillar Technology Connected Road Building

In a side-by-side study, Caterpillar compared two distinct road-building processes – 1) traditional road building, most commonly used today, and 2) a technology-focused approach, using our Cat Connect technology. Cat Connect technology automates and facilitates construction through on-machine hardware and software along with off-machine solutions dramatically reduces the costs and impacts of road building.
