As concerns mount over the absence of expiry and “best before” dates on packaged food products sold online, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has said declarations displayed on e-commerce platforms are governed by rules of the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA). In an email response to citizen engagement platform LocalCircles, which Business Standard has seen, the food regulator said declarations required on online platforms are governed by the Legal

As electronic systems continue to evolve toward higher sensitivity and greater autonomy, measurement accuracy has become a defining performance parameter rather than a desirable feature. In sectors such as medical electronics and humanoid robotics, signal levels often exist in the microvolt range, where even seemingly insignificant electrical phenomena can compromise system integrity. One frequently overlooked contributor to measurement error is stray voltage generated by the

In a major step towards modernising India's foodgrain storage ecosystem, the Department of Food and Public Distribution (DFPD), Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, today launched the Smart Warehousing System for foodgrain storage at a ceremony held at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. The system represents the world's largest deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) based technologies in public sector foodgrain warehousing. The

Every step counts, especially when it comes to delicate fresh produce like berries, grapes, mushrooms, and other fruits and vegetables. The faster the produce is packed, weighed accurately, and transferred to the cold chain after harvesting, the better its quality, freshness, and value will be preserved. The company explains, "With the IWS 1500, TopControl brings an intelligent, mobile system directly to the field or greenhouse where produce is grown. "The robust field scale

This heritage exhibition shows how passenger goods and parcels were handled on railways before the advent of electronic weighing machines. This machine was built by Henry Pooley & Son, a well-known firm of Liverpool, England Mysuru: A 2,000-kg mechanical weighing machine built in the late 1880s is a new addition to the Mysuru Railway Museum. The platform scale machine was used to weigh passengers' luggage, parcels and heavy goods at the Bangarpet railway station and determine

HORT Connections 2026 showcased an industry balancing sustainability ambitions with the practical realities of productivity, labour availability and operational efficiency, with packaging innovation and automation solutions featuring strongly across the Adelaide show floor. The Abbe team made a strong showing with a stand made by the company. Held from 2–4 June, the annual gathering of Australia's horticulture sector attracted growers, packers, suppliers and technology provid

As semiconductor devices continue to shrink in size while increasing in complexity, the margin for measurement error inside production environments becomes extremely small. What once appeared to be negligible electrical drift can now directly influence wafer yield, device reliability, calibration stability, and even long-term product quality. A thought provoking industry conversation, within the precision resistor community highlighted an increasingly important issue inside s

Combining ATEX Zone 1 and Zone 2 suitability with high-precision location capability, the ATEX Gateway and ATEX Dualis Tag set a new benchmark for intrinsically safe RTLS in hazardous industrial environments BOSTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / June 15, 2026 / Litum, a global leader in real-time location systems, today announced the ATEX Family: a purpose-built hardware suite comprising the ATEX Gateway and ATEX Dualis Tag.

What began as a routine scrap movement operation at construction sites in Maharashtra has turned into a tale involving hidden sand compartments, manipulated weight records and 21 tonnes of missing aluminium scrap. Police in Thane have registered a case against three individuals, including the owner of a scrap firm, a supervisor and a vehicle driver, for allegedly orchestrating a scheme that diverted aluminium scrap worth INR 4.6 million (USD 54,000) from construction sites li

Introduction In precision electronics, reliability is rarely determined by a single dramatic failure. More often, performance degradation begins subtly, for example: a small thermal drift (e.g., 5–50 ppm/°C shift), an unstable reading, or calibration values that gradually move outside acceptable tolerances. In mission-critical systems, these seemingly minor deviations can eventually lead to inaccurate measurements, reduced operational efficiency, product recalls, or complete

The packaging industry is undergoing a profound transformation. As consumer demands intensify and production timelines shrink, manufacturers across every sector are turning to smarter, faster, and more efficient solutions. At the heart of this revolution is VFFS technology, a system that has quietly become one of the most essential tools in modern packaging facilities. Vertical Form Fill Seal machines have long been a staple on production floors, but the future promises somet
