At Danfoss Sensing Solutions, we take your digitalization journey personally. That’s why we are committed expanding our Smart Sensors™ portfolio—and sharing the latest industry insights, innovations, and opportunities with you.

The marine industry has adopted the use of exhaust-gas scrubbers and ballast water treatment systems to meet the International Maritime Organization’s strict environmental legislation. Read more about the corrosive environments of these systems requiring tough, high-performance controls.

How do you ensure that your systems are SOLAS 282 compliant? That is the question facing marine operators, shipbuilders, and engine constructors after IMO, IACS and CIMAC agreed on the unified interpretation of SOLAS 282 and on implementing the circular on all new builds after July 1, 2017.

During recent decades, digitalization has played an increasingly important role in the water industry due to the growing possibilities in computer and information technology.

Demand for smart sensor technology is rapidly expanding. From navigation systems in smartphones to driver-assistance systems, sensors are playing an increasingly crucial role in winning the technology race.

Increased focus on the environmental impact from the Marine industry drives new exhaust gas emission restrictions and regulation. The new regulation forces vessel owners and shipbuilders to implement new technical solutions to ensure compliance with local, regional and global legislation.

Water puts pressure on people everywhere – whether they are struggling with too much, too little, or too dirty water. In fact, a water crisis is evaluated as one of the highest risks to the world and with the largest impact, according to the World Economic Forum. In this article, we outline the causes of this global water crisis – and offer a lifebuoy that can help us overcome it.

Without heavy machines, our world would grind to a halt. However, modern machinery relies on the complex and sophisticated systems to stay in operation and perform to capacity, and the smallest component can make a critical difference.

It takes water to produce energy – as it takes energy to produce water. The mutual dependence of water and energy and the accelerating demand for both have a major global impact on economic growth and societies everywhere. To create a more sustainable future, we need to decouple the water industry from growing energy consumption.
