ifm Hygienic Flow Meter with IO-Link

In today’s fast-paced industrial sector, digital connectivity and hygiene play pivotal roles in ensuring product quality and meeting regulatory standards. The advent of digitalisation has brought about transformative changes in various industries, particularly in the realm of flow measurement.

Digitalisation has changed food manufacturing by offering real-time data accuracy and quality assurance. Plug-and-play installations simplify the set-up process, enabling operations to quickly leverage the advantages of digital connectivity.

The ifm Hygienic Flow Meter with IO-Link is an example of technology in the food industry that can provide benefits in terms of quality control and efficiency.

The solution is designed to provide transferrable, readable and actionable insights using real-time data. Providing traceability for quality assurance, it can empower users to make informed decisions and optimise processes.

IO-Link, a standardised serial communication protocol in industrial automation, interfaces sensors or actuators with higher-level control systems. This integration provides increased flexibility, easier configuration, enhanced diagnostics and seamless integration, making it suitable for industrial automation applications.

Built to withstand the rigours of the food industry whilst providing invaluable insights, the hygienic flow meter has undergone rigorous testing. From temperature shock tests to pressure peak simulations, the device is built to withstand the most demanding conditions to provide long-lasting performance. It also has a protection rating of IP67 and IP69K.
