Unisyst Engineering’s CF500 natural gas volume corrector ensures accurate gas volume conversion to base conditions
Unisyst Engineering’s CF500 is an electronic gas volume corrector designed to accurately calculate the volume of natural gas under base conditions. The device determines the corrected volume based on the measured gas volume, temperature, pressure, and compressibility. Depending on its configuration, the CF500 can operate as a T, PT, or PTZ gas volume corrector, allowing it to be adapted to different metering systems and specific technical requirements. “As a modern gas volume correction device, the CF500 combines measurement, calculation, data archiving, and local and remote communication capabilities. It is suitable for applications where reliable recording of natural gas volumes is essential for technical monitoring, reporting, and commercial transactions,” representatives of Unisyst Engineering, a leading manufacturing, engineering, and trading company, told BalkanEngineer.com.

Greater comfort and lower energy costs with KAN-therm SMART and KAN-therm Basic+ automated control systems
The development of heating solutions and technologies, applied to mixed heating systems – for example, underfloor heating, working in tandem with a typical radiator, offers a variety of advantages. When there is a lack of regulation and control of the equipment, however, these systems can lead to discomfort. Most common examples include too much heating, too little heating, as well as uneven distribution of heat in different zones. To avoid these scenarios, KAN-therm offers complete and independent solutions for control, in relation to the requirements of the project and the preferences of the client.

One system instead of multiple test instruments – Megger’s TRAX combines transformer and substation measurements
Testing power transformers and equipment in electrical substations requires a different kind of measuring – from measuring wind resistance and transformation ratio, to the analysis of circuit breakers, current transformers, and voltage transformers. "The traditional approach often involves working with several specialized test instruments and different software, as well as the time required for device training, transportation to the site, and setup. Megger’s multifunctional TRAX test system, which combines a range of functions into a single unit, was developed specifically to simplify and accelerate these tests," Megger representatives commented to BalkanEngineer.com.

The Strategy Transmission System™: A CEO’s Blueprint for More Predictable EBIT in an AI-Enabled World — Part 1
The Strategy Transmission System™ (STS™) is an execution architecture that converts boardroom strategy into more predictable EBIT by aligning decision rights, operating cadences, performance measures, and frontline behavior. In practical terms, STS does three things: it clarifies who decides, establishes how work is coordinated, and defines how performance is measured.
AI investments often fail to produce expected business value not because the algorithms are inherently weak, but because the operating model cannot translate technical capability into consistent performance. The result: execution drift, margin leakage, and uneven performance across markets.
Three systemic friction points — Clutch Slippage, Driveshaft Vibration, and an Open Differential — explain why cross-border organizations in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and the Balkans struggle to sustain strategic momentum.2026-09-14Read the article
