Insights of explosion protection

Hydrogen is considered a key pillar of the energy transition—but its global scale-up remains complex and uneven. A look at international strategies reveals the challenges and what makes the difference.

The IEC TS 60079-44 demonstrates how competency in explosion protection can be systematically assessed and managed in the future — going far beyond traditional training certificates.

2-WISE makes Ethernet-APL in hazardous areas simpler, safer, and more efficient. This standardized approach significantly reduces engineering effort and greatly simplifies intrinsic safety verification.

Asset Administration Shells are seen as a key to digital value creation - but how can companies get started in practice? In this interview, Britta Waligora from conplement explains why now is the right time to act and how to take a step-by-step approach.

In submarine cables, hydrogen can form through corrosion, electrolysis, and water ingress. It can accumulate in junction boxes and create an explosion risk, so improved materials and protective measures are needed.

How can data be transmitted safely and efficiently from sensors to the control system? At the first R. STAHL Ethernet-APL Technology Day, experts demonstrated how Ethernet-APL is driving digital process automation forward.
