Processing test

Processing test functions. Instruments featuring the Heartbeat technology offer diagnostic, verification and monitoring functions that create value through data-based notifications and warnings and enable predictive maintenance. Additional information regarding entrained gas, foam or deposit buildup is especially helpful for ensuring stable processes in the food and beverage industry. For example, the Levelflex and Micropilot radar level instruments are capable of reliably detecting foam buildup and utilize internal data for permanent self-monitoring. This makes it possible to verify the operation of the instrument without interrupting the process. The verification can also be used as a documented test to trigger processes where the exact dosing of the recipe ingredients is essential for product safety. Production does not continue until the instrument has verified itself. Another example of a smart sensor is the iTHERM TrustSens self-calibrating thermometer, which automatically calibrates itself when the temperature falls below a certain level, thus permanently ensuring the safety of critical production processes. As a result, plant operators in the food and beverage industry enjoy numerous options for integrating smart sensor technology into their production systems for all measurement parameters, gaining access to the data in the field instruments and directly benefiting from the digital technology through various solution packages Plant overview solution: maintain a complete overview, decide with confidence Until now, monitoring the installed base of instruments in food or beverage production systems has required extensive research and a high degree of manual effort, an extremely costly and error-prone process. Added to that was the tedious maintenance of the installed base documentation. The combination of the individual, digital tools from the Endress+Hauser Netilion IIoT ecosystem enables efficient management of the installed assets. The Netilion Scanner app, which is available at no charge, makes manual monitoring of the installed base child’s play. The key data stored in the field instrument can be scanned with a QR code or an RFID chip. Additional information, such as the localization of the measurement point, can be determined quickly and easily. The measurement instruments are even automatically monitored with the help of the edge device. The easy-to-install plug-and-play solution establishes a secure data connection to the Netilion hub.

Processing installed base are automatically recorded on an on-going basis. Practical dashboards in the Netilion Analytics module simplify fast analysis of the installed base of field instruments, thus allowing an unprecedented level of transparency. Valid data leads to faster and more reliable decision-making. Information regarding availability is also displayed here. In case of a discontinued instrument, a suitable replacement product is automatically recommended. Documentation for the monitored instruments is available around-the-clock in the Netilion Library, where a digital twin of the measurement point containing the historical life cycle data, plus documentation such as the operations guide or the calibration report from the development and manufacturing process, resides. Plant monitoring solution package: respond faster, intervene in a targeted manner Short response times are crucial when critical outages occur in the food and beverage industry. The time-consuming interpretation of error messages and annoying searches for the relevant resolution measures are costly. In contrast, automatic interpretation of the instrument diagnostics information simplifies maintenance in Industry 4.0 environments. Instrument maintenance is highly efficient thanks to integrated solutions and explicit resolution recommendations. Determination of the device and its classification according to NE 107 is precise thanks to the Heartbeat technology. The edge device forwards the status and error diagnostics information to the Netilion Health online service via a secure data highway, thus making all of the information centrally available. The Netilion Health online service supports the user with more than 25,000 instrument diagnostics. Apart from the individual status notifications, Netilion Health also displays the diagnostics code, the cause and the recommended actions. That means the tedious interpretation of errors is a thing of the past. Each error message can be handled quickly and in a targeted manner. Thanks to continuous status monitoring and an overview in line with NE 107, the maintenance measures can be analyzed and optimized. Mobile asset management solution package: paperless maintenance, with or without a network connection Who isn’t familiar with this situation? While standing in front of an instrument in the middle of the plant, you need the operations guide, which is unfortunately lying on your desk at the office. The days when documentation had to be searched for and manually stored are now over thanks to Netilion Library. In addition, combining Netilion Library with the Field Xpert SMT7x tablet PC simplifies not only the documentation of the maintenance activities, but the actual maintenance activities. visit us at the IFFA 14 May - 19 May 2022 Frankfurt, Germany Hall 8.0 / Booth H96 A pioneering cooling die for the extrusion of plant-based meat.
