Downtime and unplanned maintenance are among the biggest challenges in the chemical industry. The networking of field devices holds enormous potential to improve plant performance. #empowerthefield, Endress+Hauser's Industry 4.0 program, takes digitalization projects to a new level. Visitors to the ACHEMA 2022 can discover highlights, solution packages, and services at Hall 11.1, Stand C27, and meet Endress+Hauser experts for process automation. At the trade fair stand, interested parties can learn more about #empowerthefield, Endress+Hauser's Industry 4.0 program, products and solutions in the field of Advanced Analytics, or test and verification concepts.

"As a technology leader in plant and process automation with seven decades of experience, Endress+Hauser, together with customers and technology partners, is unlocking new value creation opportunities through Industry 4.0. We support users in utilizing their process and device data to increase availability, safety, and efficiency of their plants," says Matthias Altendorf, CEO of the Endress+Hauser Group.

How plant operators start into digitalization

Intelligent measuring devices collect numerous data points in the field. Yet, 97 percent of this data remains unused. However, it is the raw material for Industry 4.0.

#empowerthefield, Endress+Hauser's Industry 4.0 program, ensures that plant operators can harness the potential of this data. With the cloud-based IIoT ecosystem Netilion, they can easily start their digitalization project. Proven solution packages generate a digital twin of the installed base and make it accessible on mobile devices. With Netilion, users monitor device status, enabling predictive maintenance. This allows processes to be optimized, plant availability to be increased, and costs to be reduced.

From laboratory to process

Endress+Hauser presents new optical measurement methods for inline measurement of quality parameters at ACHEMA. "We want to support our customers from research through product and process development to production and quality control," explains Altendorf. With the new optical analysis measuring devices, the same instruments and technologies can be used from the laboratory to the process, making measurement results comparable. The laser-based analysis technology based on Raman spectroscopy from Endress+Hauser provides precise analysis data on chemical composition in real time. The Raman analyzers and probes for the chemical and life sciences industries are optimized for solids, liquids, and gases. Maintenance, technical support, and performance optimization of Raman analysis systems are handled by a global network of highly qualified Raman service technicians.

Always at the pulse of measurement

Intelligent sensors that monitor themselves around the clock: this is what Heartbeat Technology, Endress+Hauser's groundbreaking diagnostic and testing concept, offers. Integrated diagnosis, verification, and monitoring functions provide comprehensive sensor and process data, enabling standardized diagnostic messages with clear instructions. This allows predictive maintenance of measuring devices with minimal effort. Thanks to Heartbeat Technology, plant operators can reduce maintenance costs to a minimum.

Highlights for the chemical industry

Hands-on measurement technology: Endress+Hauser presents numerous highlight products, such as the latest generation of fill level measurement devices from the Micropilot family for liquids and bulk goods. The 80 GHz radar sensors deliver reliable measurement results even at hard-to-access measurement points, in dusty environments, or at extreme process temperatures thanks to optimized evaluation algorithms, without signal loss.

More Industry 4.0. More productivity. More process safety: with the Cerabar and Deltabar pressure and differential pressure transmitters, users can look confidently into the future. The newly revised high-end measuring devices are perfectly suited for the path to Industry 4.0. Heartbeat Technology ensures documented verification and lays the foundation for predictive maintenance.

Memosens 2.0 – Simple, safe, and connected

The next level of liquid analysis is achieved by customers in the chemical and life sciences industries with the new sensor generation Memosens 2.0. The Memosens technology has proven itself millions of times for liquid analysis — with digitalization of measurement data directly in the sensor head, contactless digital signal transmission, and diagnosis and storage of all sensor-relevant data directly in the sensor. Memosens 2.0 now also meets Industry 4.0 requirements. Additional process data and diagnostic information provide precise insights into the current sensor condition and future maintenance needs.

Highlights for the life sciences industry

High product quality while complying with strict legal regulations is a top priority in the life sciences industry. The key to this lies in calibrating measurement devices. At ACHEMA, Endress+Hauser's ISO 17025-accredited calibration service will be showcased. The company tests, calibrates, and adjusts measuring devices from all manufacturers — either in the laboratory or directly on-site. Endress+Hauser calculates optimal calibration intervals for users, helping them optimize the cost-risk ratio.

Additionally, Endress+Hauser introduces the self-calibrating temperature sensor iTHERM TrustSens at ACHEMA. This enables seamless, traceable monitoring thanks to fully automated inline self-calibration during ongoing processes. This unique sensor technology is a milestone in temperature measurement technology and offers particular value for users who require continuous monitoring of sterilization processes.
