The use of motorized surgical hand tools has significantly enhanced precision, efficiency, and patient outcomes in operating rooms worldwide. From orthopaedic reconstruction to cranial procedures, powered drills, saws, and shavers allow surgeons to perform complex tasks with unprecedented speed and control.
According to research by McKinsey¹, almost 90% of businesses now have AI running somewhere within the organization, whether that’s a chatbot on the website, a Microsoft Copilot license in the hands of knowledge workers, or simply an agent summarizing meeting notes.
Across EMEA, fire detection requirements continue to evolve, shaped by local regulations, market expectations, installation practices, and customer needs. The EXCELLENCE Series has been designed to respond to this reality, combining the strength of global innovation with the flexibility required to support different regional applications.
For fire protection in large buildings such as railway stations, branch-level circuits are required to ensure that critical safety systems remain operational even if part of a system fails. However, introducing local fusing increases design complexity and thermal challenges, and the enclosures that protect these junctions require specialist fire-rated testing.
As the UK accelerates towards large-scale, low-carbon hydrogen production, electrolysis processes are taking centre stage. This is placing increased demand on energy efficiency to optimise the viability and sustainability of hydrogen yield.
Few sectors are under as much pressure to clean up as shipping. The IMO's emissions targets – a 40% reduction in carbon intensity by 2030 and net zero by 2050 – are shaping the choices owners and operators face on every new build and every major refit.
When designing machines, ingress protection is often treated as a simple hierarchy. Higher numbers seem to mean better protection, and better protection seems to mean better engineering. In practice, however, the issue is rarely that straightforward.
Kollmorgen has expanded its Essentials portfolio with the launch of an 8-axis variant of its PCMM2G programmable motion controller. The development coincides with the release of a new high-voltage servo drive with support for 240–480 VAC up to 4 kW. The products are distributed in the UK by INMOCO and the expansion of the Essentials portfolio is designed to support a broader range of applications and motion control requirements.
Hay Castle, on the border between England and Wales, has been transformed from a partially ruined historic site into a thriving cultural and educational venue through a restoration project that carefully balanced conservation with contemporary design.
Burckhardt Compression officially opened a new 16,000-square-foot parts warehouse in Hockley, Texas, on June 10, 2026, marking a significant expansion of the company’s supply chain capabilities. The climate-controlled facility serves as the central inventory hub for all the company’s operations in the US and Mexico.
Regal Rexnord will return to the Farnborough International Airshow 2026, taking place from 20-24 July in Farnborough, UK, where it will present its latest aerospace capabilities. Visitors can meet the team at Hall 4, Booth 4130, to explore how the company’s integrated portfolio of motion control solutions is supporting the next generation of aerospace and defense innovation.
Decentralised electrification is pushing switchgear closer to load points and locations of renewable power generation. To protect distributed switchgear while ensuring fast and simple deployment, modular enclosure systems are becoming vital. Polycarbonate designs provide a tough and durable solution, offering standardisation with flexible options that enable rapid assembly and on-site installation.
Kollmorgen has expanded its Kollmorgen Essentials™ Servo Drive for compatibility with the brand’s washdown motors and hygienic servo motors, creating a value-driven servo package. Distributed in the UK by INMOCO, increasing the flexibility means machine builders can achieve high-performance motion in washdown applications without the high cost associated with servo systems designed for these demanding environments.
In the maritime industry, the ability to deliver services consistently across locations around the world has become a defining competitive advantage. Shipowners and technical managers operating in an increasingly globalized environment expect uniform processes, proven quality standards, and reliable outcomes, whether their vessels are serviced in Europe, Asia, or the Middle East.
As digital infrastructure expands to support AI, cloud computing and continuous connectivity, sustainability is becoming a defining challenge for data centre operators. While significant attention is paid to power-hungry processors and large-scale cooling systems, a quieter source of energy consumption lies in the thousands of small components working continuously in the background.
