With a huge range of actuators plus associated equipment such as gearboxes , sensors , and limit switches , visitors were spoilt for choice at the Rotork booth . However , Metin Gerceker ( Managing Director , Water & Power ) had no hesitation in highlighting the recent launch of a fully integrated Ethernet actuator when quizzed on the latest developments . “ Data is key to operational excellence in the era of Industry 4.0 . Thanks to our integrated Ethernet solution , a data gateway is no longer required , enabling a direct , streamlined connection to Rotork ’ s intelligent IQ3 Pro actuator . This reduces complexity and increases the volume and speed of data extraction , with transfer rates up to 100 Mbps .” Emerson ’ s Philip Strauch ( Vice President & General Manager DACH ) also highlighted the importance of sustainability . “ At this event for example we are showcasing our CompoSeal valve . Made of a highlyengineered composite material , this resilient seated butterfly valve provides excellent internal and external chemical resistance whilst being lightweight and simple to install . It offers bubble-tight shut-off whilst delivering a 70 per cent reduction in carbon footprint due to its composite material , energy-efficient production and recyclability .” Further , Mr Straunch notes promising investment plans in pharmaceuticals , specialty chemicals and life sciences within the DACH region . Elsewhere , Emerson is helping to minimise water consumption in areas such as lithium production .
