4. What is Green Hydrogen?
Hydrogen is continuing to become an environmentally-friendly alternative to meet energy needs. When it is produced with green energy, it is called “green hydrogen.” It has a neutral carbon footprint and can be used as a versatile fuel source. It is often added to natural gas, which changes the properties of the gas and the ability to measure via gas flow meters. To meet this measurement challenge, SICK’s FLOWSIC600-XT is able to reliably measure hydrogen up to 30 percent. Learn more about green hydrogen and SICK’s solution in the post!
5. What is Fenceless Safety?
Fenceless safety is an evolving concept in the mobile robot industry. We sat down with SICK’s Director of Market Product Management, Steve Aamodt, to learn more about that evolution and the future of fenceless safety. He discussed some of the challenges and solutions of fenceless safety, use of data, and motivations behind the evolution. Check out the post for the full discussion!
