BMSvision launches a new versatile energy analyzer

Aligned with its focus on energy efficiency and to answer the needs of customers, BMSvision now launches a new energy analyzer: the EM/TCP. Leveraging BMSvision's renowned industrial data collection, the EM/TCP ensures customers with reliable data connectivity across the production floor, powering actionable insights into energy consumption patterns.

By installing the EM/TCP energy analyzer and concentrator, you will gain access to a huge amount of energy usage data, making it possible to make informed decisions that will lead to a more efficient use of energy and a decrease of energy consumption and costs.

Features:

Modbus TCP protocol.
Measurement up to the 51st harmonic.
Accuracy class of 0.5S.
Four analogue inputs (4-20mA).

Benefits:

One device for several energy data streams: electricity, compressed air, gas, steam, water.
Dimensioned for utilities: one device to calculate the efficiency of the compressors or chillers (COP).
No extra Data Units needed for Ethernet ready machines: the EM/TCP connects directly to the server.

Fewer pores, greater impact tolerance: Peter Dornier Foundation Prize 2026 honours material research on fibre-reinforced composite components for aerospace industry

Microscopically small pores that form during manufacture, or barely visible impact damage, can severely impair the load-bearing capacity and service life of fibre-reinforced composite components. Two young researchers have presented groundbreaking work in this field and will both be awarded the 2026 Peter Dornier Foundation Prize: Dr.-Ing. Benedikt Neitzel from the Technical University of Ilmenau for his doctoral thesis on pore minimisation in the RTM process, and Johanna Buschmann, M.Sc., for her master’s thesis, completed at the German Aerospace Centre, on the improved impact tolerance of 3D fabrics compared to 2D laminates.

Business situation weakens slightly, but the industry stays cautiously optimistic

The International Textile Manufacturers Federation (ITMF) has published the results of its 39th Global Textile Industry Survey (GTIS), conducted from 14 to 22 July 2026 among companies along the entire global textile value chain. Worldwide, 10% of participants rated their business situation as good, 53% as satisfactory and 37% as bad — a balance of -26pp, down from -17pp in May but still well above the 2023 lows. All regions are now in negative territory, from South Asia at -3pp to North & Central America at -58pp.
