Valves, data centres and the invisible infrastructure of Australian industry How to extend the life of your motor bearings From Dark Age to Imperial: what Age of Empires teaches us about instrumentation Demystifying zero trust in OT Decarbonising compressed air Previous Next Latest Articles Valves, data centres and the invisible infrastructure of Australian industry If we are serious about making Australian industry both competitive and sustainable, we have to respect the 'boring' parts of the system

Because in the end, a valve is never just a valve

In a world of escalating energy costs, water constraints and ESG scrutiny, that is not a minor detail; it is a strategic lever. More consideration needs to be given to the full instrumentation and valve lifecycle, from installation through commissioning, maintenance, optimisation and, when needed, replacement, so that a plant’s performance in year 10 is equivalent to year one

Ask where your measurements are weak, where your control is fragile, and where complexity is quietly driving risk and unnecessary replacement. And then demand more from those of us who supply the hardware, not just catalogues, but genuine partnership across the full lifecycle of your assets

Novel network cuts latency and energy use in smart factories 23 January, 2026 New research has shown why 5G alone won't meet smart factory demands, and proposed a hybrid wireless framework to cut latency, boost security and reduce energy use

The RDP will enable heavy electric freight operations across the Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong and Canberra corridors — among the most heavily trafficked freight routes in the country

In March the company demonstrated its first all-electric freight delivery from Sydney to Canberra

The funding will support NET’s first major commercial operation, the Rapid Deployment Project, which will put 20 electric prime movers and six mobile ultra-fast charging units to work on NSW freight corridors before the end of the year. In March the company demonstrated its first all-electric freight delivery from Sydney to Canberra
