LUFFT - News News Issue 6 / December 2005 Issue 6 / December 2005 Product News New Software for Environmental Measurement Networks The new Software SmartView 3 consists of the following independent modules: • • • • • SmartView Collector retrieves and stores the measuring data in a MySQL Database. ColConfig sets up the MySQL Database and configures the measurement stations. SmartCom – Communication module. SmartView3 - PC Client program. SmartWeb generates a complete Web-Site. by LUFFT Page 1 LUFFT - News Issue 6 / December 2005 Product News for Industry High precision Reference Thermometer C101 with an accuracy of 0.02°C The C101 Reference Thermometer is unique in its class with an accuracy of 0.02°C in the range from -40...200°C. This is achieved by means of high-quality, coiled, glass-sealed PT100 sensors and precision electronics with a 24 bit analog/digital converter. Both the sensor and the electronics are pre-aged in an intricate process and in this way achieve excellent long-term stability. ____________________________________________________________ A1-SDI, the multi-talented measuring instrument The display device has a PT100 input for temperature measurement and a digital input (SDI). The SDI-interface opens up a new dimension in flexibility for measurement applications. Instead of many measuring instruments for individual tasks, with the A1-SDI you now need only one measuring instrument for many tasks! The A1-SDI is the ideal measuring instrument for professionals. ____________________________________________________________ Hand-held measuring instrument E200IR – the portable measuring instrument You can use the E200 IR as a thermo-hygrometer or laser pyrometer, depending on the application mode. The non-contact thermometer has three different modes: Temperature/humidity measurement (TH-mode) Contact-free temperature measurement (Infrared, IR-mode) Dew-point detection on walls (DP-mode) by LUFFT Page 2 LUFFT - News Issue 6 / December 2005 Lufft projects in Germany and abroad Intelligent Road Sensors in Australia, “Roads and Traffic Authority”, Sydney An Ice Warning Station with Intelligent Road Sensors from Lufft has been installed on the “Great Western Highway” between Lithgow and Bathurst (approx. 2 to 3 hours by car from Sydney). In summer the temperatures in this region are very high but in winter they very often fall below 0°C at night time. Even in Australia there are critical road conditions – there is danger of frost in this region from April to September! ____________________________________________________________ De-icing Spray Facility in Perm, Russia On 21.10.2005 the new bridge over the River Kama in Perm was opened by the Transport Minister Mr. Levitin and the Governor of the region, Mr. Beloserov. The first part of a de-icing system has been installed on this bridge in association with our Russian partner Moskovskije Dorogi. The installation of the second part is planned for 2006. by LUFFT Page 3 LUFFT - News Issue 6 / December 2005 Precipitation and Soil Humidity Measurement in Japan In order to facilitate decision-making within the scope of a meteorological project in agriculture, OPUS200 modules and radar rain sensors were installed to measure precipitation and soil humidity. The measurement data captured by the R2S sensors is also used for other applications. Data transfer and visualisation take place via DOPA radio transmission. ___________________________________________________________ C210 – the ideal measuring instrument for conditioning and drying hops Measurement of temperature and relative humidity in the ventilation duct or air distribution chamber of the conditioning plant is of decisive importance for best possible drying of hops (drying kiln). Careful, even drying of the hops is necessary to give good quality. The C210 was extensively tested for this application by the Bavarian Regional Institute for Agriculture (Hops Consulting Service, Wolnzach) and rated as excellent. Due to the very good test results, numerous C210 measuring instruments were sold to agricultural companies during the hop harvesting season in August/September. by LUFFT Page 4 LUFFT - News Issue 6 / December 2005 Current Pharma Projects APOSAN Dr. Künzer GmbH When important, sterile drugs have to be prepared for patients against individual orders under clean room conditions, this requires sophisticated production logistics and cleaning processes organised in the best possible way. Aposan, of Cologne, produces application- ready, sterile prescription drugs in batch sizes of one and upwards. On request and repeatedly during the day, drugs are individually produced in accordance with doctors' prescriptions and delivered throughout the whole of Germany within 24 hours. Without an online monitoring system, manufacturing in accordance with GMP specifications and Article 13 of the German Pharmaceuticals Act (AMG) would not be possible. SmartControl, the user friendly software launched by Lufft in February 2005, enables the Company to guarantee the highest quality in the newly constructed production building. "The date for the regional authority's acceptance test of the clean rooms was already set, even before the order for the construction of the clean rooms was placed", recalls Volker Jüngerich. The pharmacist and production director of Aposan Dr. Künzer GmbH, the Cologne-based pharmaceutical company founded in 1991, was jointly responsible for the project to relocate the production facility from central Cologne to the Kalk district of the same city. A technology park has been created on the land once occupied by the famous Hagen battery factory, and more than 20 biotechnology, pharmaceutical and other companies have moved in. Aposan has created a high-tech clean room production facility there, which not only serves to showcase the equipment to customers but also provides a service to pharmacists and health insurance companies. Aposan Dr. Künzer GmbH is a manufacturer of pharmaceuticals and provider of medical services. The Company has specialised in the production of drugs for individual patients, administered by injection or intravenous infusion. Lufft Opus 300i dataloggers measure and collect the data for differential pressure, relative humidity, temperature and particle count. The SmartControl software controls, evaluates and transmits alarms when limit thresholds are violated. "The plant had to be approved on 15 February 2005, yet when the first construction project meeting took place in November the first brick had not even been laid". But Michael Busse also confirms that the "immense deadline pressure" also promoted great cooperation. The head of Busse Industrietechnik in Marl, Lufft's representative in North Rhein-Westphalia, knows that customers are constantly delighted with the Lufft solution. This is also confirmed by Jüngerich when he describes the software as "somewhat more expensive but much more reliable than others. It has redundancy and a simple, coherent design, can be operated intuitively and gives us the data that we need quickly." And Busse adds with a grin: "One 'notices' (German: 'merckt') that an important pharmaceutical company provided the impetus for the software and supported its development." The fact that the acceptance test by the regional authority took place on time and was successful can certainly be put down to the excellent cooperation between all parties concerned. by LUFFT Page 5 LUFFT - News Issue 6 / December 2005 Pharma-Monitoring – an extract from our Reference List: ALTANA Pharma AG, Singen / Grünental, Aachen / Schwabe, Karlsruhe / RP Scherer GmbH & Co.

(560 mbar corresponds to 4700 m, 1100 mbar corresponds to 7000 m) No stone was left unturned in the execution of this order. A new set of 6 diaphragms was produced and the joint lever, connection spring and a great deal more was re-calculated and adapted. We even produced special chart paper. ____________________________________________________________ And finally a great testimony to the quality of Lufft products! .... and it’s still working!!! This Opus 10 was exposed to a source of extreme heat, probably around 80°C, and was sent back to us by a customer for repair. by LUFFT Page 6 LUFFT - News Issue 6 / December 2005 FAX +49-711-51822-41 From: Company / Organization Contact name Telephone / FAX / Email Reader service You can request literature and information by e-mail ([email protected]) or FAX (+49 71151822-41) on the following subjects: LUFFT Annual 125 LUFFT CD-ROM Electronic Hand-Held Instruments OPUS 10 electronic datalogger GMA (Ice Warning Station) and CD-Rom DKD calibration services Pharma-Monitoring Request a copy from [email protected] an PUBLISHING DETAILS „Lufft news“ is published three times a year as an Internet journal.
