In today’s automotive and general manufacturing market, aluminum is increasingly becoming the ma-terial of choice because it is lighter, safer and more sustainable.

By implementing and optimizing energy management systems, industrial users can increase transparency and save energy, laying the foundation for more sustainable and efficient operations.

GIFA, Metec, Thermprocess and Newcast (Bright World of Metals 2023) drew 63,300 visitors from 114 countries in Düsseldorf, Germany. About 2,200 exhibitors from 56 countries presented the power of the metallurgical industry and displayed their equipment and solutions. Sustainability and Artificial Intelligence (AI) were much-discussed topics in the 12 exhibition halls of the four trade fairs.

Until recently, the conventional furnace controller has been an independent entity responsible on its own for performance, optimization and adaption to process and production conditions.

From June 12-16, the fairgrounds in Düsseldorf, Germany, will become the center for the international casting and metallurgical industries. Trade fairs GIFA, Metec, Thermprocess and Newcast (GMTN) will cover the complete spectrum of foundry technology, castings, metallurgy and thermal-processing technology.

The CSvision series of ratio pyrometers can measure the temperature of metals, melts or ceramics non-contact, safely and reliably from different distances. 

Bulk solids DJT level indicators provide high, intermediate or low point level detection in hostile high-temperature environments. 

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling is used to explore innovations in combustion that improve temperature uniformity, increase run length and reduce NOx emissions.

According to the Reshoring Initiative’s 2022 data report, reshoring and foreign direct investment (FDI) job announcements in 2022 were at the highest rate ever recorded. There was 364,000 reshoring and FDI jobs announced for 2022, which was up 53% from 2021’s record number. Fourth-quarter announcements accelerated even more than anticipated due to the Chips and Infrastructure Acts and deglobalization trends. In addition, 2022 brought the total number of job announcements since 2010 to nearly 1.6 million.
