New company offers The new alternatives comprehensive services in power conversion for lift operators and P maintenance companies DICEO Group presents its range of services for the first time at interlift 2023
A
newly formed company offers a comprehensive package of services to lift operators and maintenance companies. DICEO Group GmbH is a consortium of two partners with complementary skills: the Schmersal Group, a specialist in the development and manufacture of safety switchgear and systems as well as lift controls, and compreneur AG, a management consultancy specialising in innovation and entrepreneurship. The CEO of the DICEO Group is Benjamin Frohling from compreneur. The core element of the DICEO Group‘s service portfolio is the non-invasive retrofit system ‘EYELEVATE,’ developed together with partners, which works with any lift, regardless of type, age or manufacturer: EYELEVATE is a smart remote monitoring system that allows users to check the status of their
lift at any time – via smartphone or tablet. With EYELEVATE, any lift can be digitised in a matter of minutes, enabling real time monitoring of key lift system functions using built-in sensors. With EYELEVATE, customers can keep an eye on their lifts at all times. The system constantly analyses data on the lift's behaviour, detects atypical conditions and scenarios and reports these, for example, via a push message to the customer’s tablet or smartphone. The DICED Group will be presenting its range of services for the first time at the interlift 2023. Visit us from 17th20th October in Hall 1, Stand 1035!

ower conversion is commonly achieved through phase-angle controllers, transformers and power supplies. But these solutions can either damage heaters, or take up large amounts of space or make it incredibly hard to measure and control the power flow. Watlow’s power conversion technology solves these issues by providing the ability to bring voltage up or down smoothly without having to introduce a bulky power supply. Watlow temperature controllers, such as POWERGLIDE®, are capable of modulating the amplitude of the output voltage, allowing the voltage to step down from 208 volts to as low as 20 volts. Lowering the voltage in this way is a great way to drive low-impedance heaters. It can reduce the power distribution rating with smaller fuses and wires, which saves money and space. It can also protect ceramic heaters from breaking. Watlow’s power conversion technology also achieves high power quality without the high cost and added space of a DC power supply.
Power conversion is an essential element of many heating applications. Yet most current power conversion technology is not well suited to cases where heaters are fragile, have ceramic components, or have to ensure safe operation across the globe. No longer do devices have to be engineered around power quality issues. Instead, smooth, stable power changes are possible across a huge variety of outputs, and noise is reduced drastically.

Solving complex dry air supply and control problems D rallim are specialist equipment manufacturers and offer a wide range of bespoke products and services. One area of increasing activity has been designing and building custom dehydrators to suit a variety of telecom applications from copper cable pressure systems to television, satellite, and radar systems. There currently exists a large installed base of older equipment that is often found obsolete whereas we have successfully provided a full range of services to maintain, monitor and replace equipment of any brand. Maintaining an extremely dry air supply is essential to these applications and in recent years, we have developed sophisticated remote monitoring solutions for telephone exchanges and waveguide tower installations providing an early warning of potential issues on often highly critical services. This monitoring capability has also spilled over into offering monitoring for cable theft, cable integrity and unauthorised access to manholes and cabinets. We have a range of standard units to suit most applications but often our customers need something rather unique. We will work with clients and their customers to understand the needs of their application(s) www.drallim.com and look at how best to provide a solution. We offer a professional service from site survey, customer design, manufacture and installation and we’re not always finished then. We offer full
