Lighthouses have been the key to maritime navigation for centuries, emitting light to guide sailors across treacherous seas.

Hydrogen now isn’t everything that hydrogen could be.

Back in 2015, signatories of the Paris Climate Agreement pledged to collectively follow a familiar goal — to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below two degrees Celsius and pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5 degrees.

The year 2020 has transformed the way many of us work. While makeshift desks and digital collaboration have been commonplace for many office workers, surely manufacturing employees couldn’t set-up a shop floor from the comfort of their own kitchens — or could they? Digitalising a production facility typically takes years of development, but one Sandvik tube site brought remote manufacturing to its stay-at-home workers in just two days. Here, Thomas Froböse, product unit manager at global engineering group Sandvik, explains how.

The partnership between Sandvik and Cisco Systems is a match made in mining heaven, delivering productivity and safety improvements to underground mines everywhere.

The corona pandemic drove Sandvik’s tube site in Germany to go fully digital in only two days, a change that normally would have taken five years. A flatter, more efficient organization and improved flexibility make it a production model for the future.

Achieving zero carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions is no easy task — especially for those operating gas furnaces. To accelerate the green revolution in aluminium production, Kanthal, part of Sandvik Materials Technology (SMT), is using its expertise in heating technology to ignite a step-change towards clean energy alternatives. In recognition of Kanthal’s success, its landmark “Go Green” testing service has been awarded Sandvik’s first sustainability award.
