Wireless technologies, ethernet and asset management systems - in recent years, a number of new technologies have entered the food production industry and substantially changed the world of process automation. Despite all that, one thing has remained the same: the central importance of sensors.

ifm efector TP transmitter module

16 November, 2011 by

The ifm efector TP transmitter module with plug-and-play M12 connectors can be used to help overcome common installation and environmental problems associated with conventional terminal chamber head transmitters - error sources for screw terminals, wiring mistakes and fluid ingress are eliminated. An integrated LED gives local indication that the transmitter is powered and transmitting.

Vision systems can improve ROI

07 October, 2011 by

Vision systems can be used to virtually eliminate rework by making sure products are labelled and filled correctly, compliant and in-spec - straight off the production line. ROI will improve and lean manufacturing will be enabled as vision systems ensure that products are ‘shelf-ready’ as they exit the production line.

Dispelling the myths about machine vision systems

07 October, 2011

Machine vision is a branch of engineering that uses cameras in the context of process control. Images are collected and analysed and the data extracted used for controlling an automated process or action. When we refer to machine visions systems we are typically referring to smart cameras or vision sensors - devices that possess image capture capability, are able to extract information from captured images and make decisions that are used in wider automation systems.
