Already last year, on its 30th anniversary Environne'Tech (Emitech Group) announced that the Bourgoin-Jallieu 2020 project would begin with the expansion of its centre for equipment qualification and environmental tests. The new building, with a floor area of 800 m2 and a height of 10 m is designed to handle voluminous test subjects such as aeronautic parts, entire vehicles or bulky installations. By 13 November, the first test campaign was started in a new, purpose-built, 93 m3 climate chamber, which complements the existing equipment.
After the launch of the LEM, a new generation mini vacuum module integrating, in a smaller size, all the functions of the vacuum pump, COVAL has entered a new phase with the LEMAX. Emphasis with this new product is on energy saving through continuous monitoring and regulation.
Interroll is expanding its decentralized control and drive concept, which has been used successfully for years with the Interroll 24V DC RollerDrive and the Interroll MultiControl for zero-pressure unit load handling. Now, the portfolio also includes a special solution for pallet conveyance.

Design engineers are playing a more active role throughout the value engineering process than ever before. No longer do they simply oversee the conceptual aesthetic and ergonomic aspects of a new product design, they are increasingly accountable for the cost of producing a product in the most effective and efficient way possible. As a result, there is an industry-wide drive to engineer more functional products and systems at a lower cost, while continuing to deliver on quality. In this article, Marcus Schneck, CEO at leading standard component manufacturer norelem, explores some of the simple, yet often overlooked, strategies that design engineers can adopt to realise time and cost savings, ensure predictive availability of components, and manufacture more effective products.
