A one-page map of the capital projects rising across Louisiana.

A roundup from RADEX MARKETS counts at least 16 Louisiana projects over $1B in three years across factories, gas facilities and data centres, plus a proposed $100B project billed as Starbase Louisiana. It comes from a broker-marketing account. Use it as a signal list and verify each project.

HOW-TO

How to find what is really wrong with a turbine flow meter before you swap out a good one.

A step-by-step guide works through process, installation, signal loop and configuration checks for unstable or wrong turbine flow meter readings. It helps techs avoid replacing a good meter when the fault is in the loop. It comes from an instrument seller.

For instrument techs and maintenance planners: a fault-isolation checklist for liquid turbine meters.

TOOL

ot-security-agent-skills (9 stars): free agent skills that do first-pass forensics on Modbus, S7, IEC-104 and BACnet traffic.

Eight Apache-2.0 skills let an agent do passive, offline forensics on Modbus, BACnet, S7comm and IEC-104 captures, plus attack-chain reconstruction. It is an experimental v0.1 repo created Nov 3 with 9 stars. Pairs with the UK meat-plant item.

For controls and OT security teams: first-pass forensics on industrial traffic captures.

TOOL

claude-hardware-in-the-loop (37 stars): AI agents that help design boards, CAD and firmware, but cannot call a job done until hard checks pass.

This Claude Code skill turns boards into Python scripts that generate KiCad files, builds enclosures with CadQuery, and tests firmware against a digital twin. Nothing counts as done until ERC, DRC and live part checks pass. It is source-available, not open source, so check the license before reuse.

For controls and electronics engineers: agent help on boards that must pass checks before they ship.
