Unlocking the Full Potential of Smart Sensors in Dairy Processing

In the realm of dairy processing and food manufacturing, smart sensors are proving to be invaluable assets. Capable of reducing resource consumption by 30% and, in some cases, up to 50%, these sensors are being increasingly adopted across the industry. One notable application is in Cleaning-in-place (CIP) systems, where they help save time, energy, and resources without compromising food safety.

The use of smart sensors extends to more efficient measurement of heat exchangers, optimizing energy use, and enhancing inventory management. This results in more accurate production planning through real-time data, enhancing production quality and minimizing material waste.

Bridging to a Digital Future

Baumer's connected Smart Sensors exemplify the move towards digital integration with their precision design and advanced functionalities. These sensors use Dual Channel interfaces to switch between analogue and digital outputs, thus retaining traditional control methods while benefiting from the digital advantages of Industry 4.0.

Expanding Smart Sensor Capabilities

Baumer is pushing boundaries by incorporating digital services to maximize operational efficiency. Their OXM200 model demonstrates this as an advanced profile sensor optimized for ease of operation. Baumer simplifies integration by offering a 3D CAD model that includes all necessary specifications for seamless design implementation.
