There is water, but there isn’t enough: how losses in the irrigation system are ‘eating away’ at your crop yield
In 2026 the issue of irrigation in Ukraine moved from the category of a “desirable extra” to a strategic necessity. However, a pumping station for irrigation on its own still does not guarantee a result. Having a water source and sprinkler machines in place does not yet mean effective watering. Most often the main...
Automation of Logistics in 2026: How Steiner Ukraine Solves the Labor Shortage Problem
Introduction Logistics automation in 2026 has become for Ukrainian business not merely an area of modernisation, but a practical answer to the shortage of personnel. In conditions where mobilisation processes and migration have reduced the number of available workers by 25%, the most vulnerable link has turned out to be warehouse logistics, where traditionally...
Fines or modernisation: When does environmental protection become a profitable strategy?
In modern Ukrainian business the issue of environmental safety is often perceived as a “necessary evil” — a spending item in the budget that one would like to put off until later. Yet economic reality is changing, and the timely modernisation of wastewater treatment today is becoming not simply a requirement of the law, but a strategic instrument for preserving...
Self-adhesive Labeling Machines: Where They Provide Process Control and Where They Create Hidden Costs
Self-adhesive labelling is often perceived as a “safe choice”. The technology looks universal: it needs no glue on the line, gives high positioning accuracy and adapts easily to different formats. That is exactly why it is the first to be considered when the task is to buy labelling equipment. But in real production conditions...
Automatic labelling machines: how to choose the right technology
At most production sites automatic labelling machines are for a long time perceived as the final and technically simple stage. Up until the moment when problems start to accumulate exactly here: unstable speed, label misalignment, quality depending on the operator. And then it becomes obvious that the choice of labelling technology directly...
Safety first: Modern dosing and packaging systems for corrosive chemicals
The production of household chemicals, fertilisers and industrial reagents requires a special approach to automation. Unlike the food sector, here the main criterion for choosing equipment is not only speed, but also chemical resistance and environmental safety. Steiner analyses how modern technologies minimise the risks...
Irrigation pumping station: how choosing the wrong one increases the cost of watering
Why the wrong choice of pumping station increases the cost of watering. We examine the economics of irrigation systems and typical engineering mistakes.
Automating reporting and quality control: how to transition to paperless production
How much time do your operators spend filling in paper logbooks? How many errors arise because of the “human factor”, and how quickly do you find out about deviations in the quality of a batch? In modern industrial engineering the Paperless concept (paperless production) is not simply doing away with stationery. It is...
Green engineering: how modernising pumping equipment reduces energy consumption by 30%
Today energy efficiency is not only a contribution to the environment, but also a critical condition for the survival of a business. Amid unstable electricity prices in Ukraine, the cost of powering industrial units is becoming a substantial share of a product’s cost price. At an average enterprise, pumping equipment consumes from 20%...
How to choose a pump for corrosive and chemically active liquids
How to select a pump for aggressive and chemically active liquids – this is not a question of brand or price. It is an engineering task with a high level of risk. A mistake at the selection stage almost always leads not simply to a drop in efficiency, but to degradation of the equipment, downtime, leaks...
