ifm’s IO-Link is a plug-and-play digital communication system designed to help food and beverage manufacturers optimise plant efficiency, improve process safety and meet sustainability targets.

Suitable for use in food processing environments — including wet and washdown areas — the system is designed to enable seamless integration of smart sensors and actuators into factory control systems. These devices collect real-time process and diagnostic data for improved visibility across temperature, flow, pressure and more — all from a single sensor.

Key features include: predictive maintenance — early fault detection to reduce unplanned downtime; Y-Path data access — simultaneous process and diagnostic data, without interrupting operations; plug-and-play sensor replacement — standard connectors and parameter memory enable fast swaps; interference-free signal transmission — ensures data integrity in harsh environments; flexible system compatibility — IO-Link connects with any fieldbus or controller.

By equipping food and beverage producers with actionable, real-time data, the system is designed to support safe, efficient and compliant operations — even in the face of complex regulatory demands.
