cpp EDITORIAL Expert Forum in Nuremberg Only a few more days to go: forthe 20 th time, from September 26 to 28, the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre will be a meeting place for specialist manufacturers and processors of powder, granules and bulk solids. About 900 exhibitors will display their latest developments for mechanical processes and related technologies such as measurement, analysis, control and automation. Manufacturers and plant operators in thechemical sector will discover technical solutions for many of the burning questions affecting theindustry. The chemicalindustry is currently undergoing a transition on many levels. Process digitalisation helps achieve the goal of ensuring consistently high product quality, 24/7. The focus is also on curbing production costs and increasing energy and resource efficiency. What’s needed is maximum safety in the manufacturing process while maintaining a high level of flexibility – at multiple locations around the world.
