The answer is provided by iST's Moisture-in-Oil Sensor – a compact, digital RH/T module that accurately and continuously monitors the water content in oils and fuels. Why is this important? Over time, every lubricant ages: additives break down, contaminants creep in, and the oil's ability to absorb water decreases. This can lead to costly breakdowns and unplanned downtime. The sensor does not simply measure the absolute water content – it measures the relative saturation level in % RH or water activity aw in %.  This means you get a direct picture of the current oil quality and can react in good time. Typical areas of application The sensor is used wherever machines need to run reliably: •    Marine engines and gearboxes •    Commercial vehicles and rail vehicles •    Wind turbines and generators •    Drilling and paper machines •    Mobile oil filtration units Designed for industrial use Compact, robust, and easy to integrate, the sensor is built for harsh environments. It features a stainless-steel housing, digital interface for seamless system integration, and temperature-compensated, factory-calibrated measurement—ready for immediate use. Customized solutions, from mechanical integration to application-specific calibration, are also available. Evaluation kit – quick and easy testing For fast evaluation and system tests, a complete evaluation kit is available. It includes a pre-mounted and calibrated sensor module, a test board with digital and analog outputs, USB connectivity, and compatibility with the Arduino IDE—ideal for lab work, prototypes, and initial application trials.

The Bremen wastewater company hanseWasser, with 390 employees and an annual turnover of 101 million euros, has optimized its maintenance processes in wastewater treatment (two large sewage treatment plants and one industrial sewage treatment plant), wastewater discharge (operation of pumping stations) and maintenance (electrical and control technology, mechanical engineering, safety management) with the argvis; Maintenance Portal. The mobile solution enables digital order processing and documentation, saving time and money. The old software solution from 2015 was outdated, no longer compatible with SAP Plant Maintenance and did not offer mobile order processing. The new solution from argvis, on the other hand, is fully integrated into SAP, offers a modern, user-friendly interface and enables mobile recording of fault reports, processing of master data of the functional locations and deployment planning of technicians. Since the system was introduced in 2023, hanseWasser has achieved a functional coverage level of 98 percent. 60 employees use the system. The mobile recording of fault reports and digital order processing ensure a constantly up-to-date overview of the order backlog. The advantages of the system include: Mobile order processing and work documentation (e.g. digital creation of fault reports, recording of meter readings) Paperless order processing (e.g. digital planning board) Time savings and cost reduction (e.g. through faster order allocation, avoidance of rework) Improved transparency and control (e.g. constantly up-to-date overview of the order backlog) Staff satisfaction (e.g. through modern and intuitive operation) In the future, hanseWasser plans to implement a mobile solution for warehouse management with argvis.

DC grids are already indispensable in rail technology, data centres, in the power supply of ships or in photovoltaic systems. The possibility of storing DC from renewable energies in battery storage and retrieving it when needed will lead to the further spread of DC grids. For example, in the charging infrastructure of electric vehicles or industry. Whereas electricity used to be supplied from an AC grid – usually across several voltage levels – and converted into DC in a decentralised manner and with losses, a DC grid with central rectification and the integration of renewable energy sources reduces the amount of wiring and conversion losses. For example, the rectification in variable-speed drives of conveyor belts or robotic drives in highly automated production plants is no longer necessary. The reliability of such power supplies is of the highest importance. In the event of deviations from the target state, control processes must be initiated to stabilise the voltage or, in extreme cases, a shutdown must be carried out. The narrow 22.5 mm DC voltage relay UG 9831 from the VARIMETER series measures the voltage in the wide voltage range from DC 20 to 1000 V and monitors for undervoltage and overvoltage based on the set response thresholds. The response thresholds are precisely set using a latching rotary switch on the front panel, protected against manipulation by a sealable transparent cover and deviations from the setpoint are signalled via potential-free changeover contacts in order to initiate countermeasures. If continuous measurement data is required, the UG 9431 device version with integrated Modbus RTU interface offers easy parameterisation, monitoring and diagnostics of DC systems. Changeover contacts are also available on this device for signalling or controlling signal lamps.
