A digital hazardous materials register creates transparency, safety, and efficiency in handling hazardous substances within a company. Instead of cumbersome Excel spreadsheets or paper-based documentation, a central digital solution enables the structured recording of all relevant hazardous materials data – from safety data sheets and hazard classes to storage locations and protective measures. Companies benefit not only from a better overview of substances used and work areas but also simultaneously comply with the legal requirements of the Hazardous Substances Ordinance (Section 6 GefStoffV). Modern systems significantly simplify data maintenance and updates, making information readily available to employees at any time – for example, via intranet, browser search, or mobile applications. A digital hazardous materials register also supports risk assessment, automates documentation and testing processes, and improves collaboration between occupational safety, maintenance, and operational departments. Safety data sheets can be stored centrally, tasks can be created automatically, and testing intervals can be reliably monitored. Especially in companies with numerous locations, facilities, or diverse substances, digitalization ensures greater legal certainty, reduced administrative overhead, and higher data quality. At the same time, risks are minimized, as employees have access to up-to-date information and necessary protective measures at all times. This transforms the hazardous materials register from a mere legal requirement into a central tool for modern occupational health and safety – efficient, transparent, and future-proof.

The demands on occupational safety, health, and compliance are increasing – especially in safety-critical industries such as offshore wind farms, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and hazardous waste disposal. At the same time, companies must ensure at all times that employees and equipment have valid certificates and certifications. This is precisely where GreenGate's proven HSE/PTE blueprint comes in. With GS-Service, a digital solution for modern safety management is available, centrally managing qualifications, certifications, and safety-relevant equipment and making them available in real time – on desktops as well as mobile devices. The system automatically checks certificate validity, provides timely notifications of upcoming renewals, and flags expired authorizations directly in the scheduling interface. This makes it immediately clear whether employees are authorized for specific tasks. The integrated permit tool automates certification monitoring and helps companies comply with legal requirements, reduce liability risks, and streamline processes. Reminders and tasks are generated automatically, reducing administrative effort and potential errors. At the same time, the transparency and traceability of all safety and qualification data are increased. Equipment such as safety belts or other equipment requiring inspection can also be integrated into the process. Only approved and inspected equipment is available for operational use. The GreenGate Blueprint demonstrates how digital safety management not only improves occupational safety but also sustainably supports operational management – ​​in a practical, flexible, and cross-industry manner.

We combine proven standard products with customised, cost-optimised drive solutions – perfectly tailored to your requirements. From evaluation, design and validation to product certification and support. - Customised drive systems - System integration and optimisation - Prototypes and accompanying studies Project example (full story available in the download area): Antrimon developed a unique valve actuator for a global equipment manufacturer facing extreme operating conditions. The requirements were demanding: operation in ATEX and IECEx Zone 22, ambient temperatures from 5 to 50 °C, lifetime exceeding 10 million cycles, high continuous and acceleration torque at low speeds, minimal heat generation and maximum energy efficiency – all in a compact design with worldwide certifications (ATEX, IECEx, CE, UL). No such solution existed on the market. Antrimon’s answer was a fully customised brushless outer-rotor motor combined with a two-stage planetary gearbox. The design focused on delivering maximum torque at the lowest speed, exceptional robustness and reliability. With a maintenance-free concept – no brushes, no oil changes – the actuator is built for continuous heavy-duty operation. The entire process, from feasibility analysis and mechanical/electronic design to prototyping, extreme-condition validation, certification and series production, was handled in-house. The result: significantly lower energy consumption compared to pneumatic systems, extended maintenance intervals, improved process safety and full global compliance. This solution gives the customer a clear competitive edge in international plant engineering. Antrimon is the only provider worldwide able to deliver such a certified solution economically from concept to series production.

We design pneumatic connection solutions tailored to any system configuration. Reliability, ease of assembly, and a perfect seal: with Metal Work fittings, every connection is under control. - Metal Work push-in fittings ensure fast, secure tube-to-actuator connections, reusable thousands of times without compromising pneumatic or mechanical sealing. The release system is quick and easy: pressing the sleeve opens the spring, freeing the tube. Available in many configurations for metric tubes (Ø 3–14) and inch tubes (Ø 1/8–1/2), with G, ISO 7-1 tapered, metric, and NPT threads. Some models feature patented screwdriver-release slots or asymmetric wall-mount rings. - Standard fittings Series A are the most common for rigid or removable pipe connections. Available in various shapes (elbows, sleeves, reducers, tees, crosses, flanges), they come in brass, steel, stainless steel, or plastic. Used in hydraulic, pneumatic, gas, and industrial systems, they ensure wide availability and interchangeability under ISO, DIN, and UNI standards. Sealants may be required for proper sealing. - Series B compression fittings with double ferrule (bicono) use two rings tightened by the nut to grip the tube and ensure sealing, without welding or threading. They are reusable, reliable at high pressures, and made of brass or stainless steel with possible anti-corrosion coatings. Applications include pneumatic and hydraulic systems, gas lines, and industrial instrumentation. - Series C push-in fittings allow quick connection of plastic tubes (PU, PE, PTFE, nylon) directly into the fitting, with a steel ring securing the tube and a seal ensuring tightness. Made of brass or technopolymer, they enable tool-free assembly and disassembly, ideal for flexible tubing. Widely used in pneumatic systems, compressed air, automation, and small fluid distribution. Not suitable for very high pressures or metal pipes. - Series D fittings in OT 58 brass, with maximum pressure of 261 psi / 1800 KPa / 18 bar.

With the FLC+, we are expanding the FLC series for components that require slightly more installation space due to their geometry. Here, we place the process modules directly on the floor and simply omit the tabletop on work surfaces; everything else remains the same. The modular design of the FLC+ allows us to always implement the optimal assembly process. We are flexible in our choice of process modules and connect them as efficiently as possible using robots.

Functional safety in Industrial Ethernet is essential for the safe operation of industrial systems. The risk of accidents and failures can be minimised through the implementation of safety protocols, continuous monitoring and compliance with international standards. As a long-standing safety sensor specialist, Kübler is now expanding its safe Industrial Ethernet encoder platform with the latest SIL2 and SIL3 certified Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE) protocol. The S58x8FSX encoder transmits up to 15 bits safe or up to 24 bits non-safe, as well as fully redundant multiturn information of 12 bits safe. Thanks to the platform architecture, this is realised in exactly the same design as the S58 PROFIsafe encoder. Updates can be carried out easily via FoE (File over EtherCAT) without the need for a web server. This simplifies the maintenance process considerably and ensures that the encoder always remains state-of-the-art. The Sendix encoder offers great benefits, particularly due to its high system availability. Equipped with cyber security and protection mechanisms against hacker attacks and misuse in accordance with IEC 62443, the encoder ensures a safe and reliable connection in safety-critical applications.
