A focus of the trade fair appearance is on the topic of Food Safety. To this end, the provider of measurement and automation technology presents accredited calibration services as well as self-calibrating and monitoring measuring technology. With numerous device innovations, Endress+Hauser demonstrates how plant operators can monitor batch processes, deposit formation, disinfection measures, and water cycles online, and how measurement technology can support the realization of Industry 4.0.

Measurement technology for inline quality control

Inline measurement technology plays a crucial role in the production of products at a consistently high productivity level. Whether measuring temperature at the pasteurization unit on the heater, color measurement of liquids, or determining concentration-specific parameters via density – measurement values must be precise, reproducible, and stable over the long term. Only then can the required quality be reliably ensured. Endress+Hauser shows suitable solutions for numerous applications at the trade fair booth.

Calibration to improve product quality and safety

As a DAkkS-accredited provider of calibration services, Endress+Hauser advises plant operators on individual calibration strategies and time-saving concepts for calibration work. Secure documentation can be provided according to IFS Food, GMP, ISO 9001, or ISO 50001. Endress+Hauser is the first calibration service provider in the DACH region to be accredited for on-site flow calibrations according to ISO/IEC 17025 and offers a patented process for on-site density calibrations.

#empowerthefield. The Industry 4.0 program from Endress+Hauser

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

#empowerthefield, Endress+Hauser's Industry 4.0 program, ensures that plant operators can utilize 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 available on mobile devices. With Netilion, users can monitor device status, enabling predictive maintenance. This allows processes to be optimized, plant availability to be increased, and costs to be reduced.

Product highlights for the beverage and food industry

The multisensor measuring device Fermentation Monitor QWX43 calculates all parameters relevant to the fermentation process, such as the fermentation degree, residual extract, and alcohol content. The precise and repeatable measurement replaces spindle measurements and laboratory analysis. The data is provided to the user via the Endress+Hauser IIoT ecosystem Netilion, accessible via app or computer. This allows the fermentation process to be monitored meticulously anytime and anywhere.

Also developed as a multisensor measuring device, Endress+Hauser presents Liquitrend QMW43 at drinktec, a measuring device for reliable, repeatable, and accurate measurement of wort strength and conductivity. It is suitable for checking the cleaning status of storage, mixing, and process tanks, pipelines, and plant peripherals without opening them. Furthermore, online monitoring of deposit formation is possible, allowing cleaning processes to be adjusted as needed.

For consistent disinfection monitoring, the Memosens CCS51D chlorine sensor is suitable for measuring free chlorine. It provides very fast response times, ensuring safe processes and efficient process control.

An innovative specialist for demanding applications is the Coriolis flowmeter Promass Q, which offers the highest measurement accuracy for mass flow, volume flow, and density. As the preferred measuring device for calibration laboratories, it is also optimized for applications involving liquids with gas inclusions. This allows highly accurate measurement of flow and density even in foamed products, such as during ice cream production.

The iTHERM TrustSens TM371 thermometer enables seamless, traceable monitoring thanks to a fully automated inline self-calibration function during ongoing processes. This unique sensor technology is a milestone in temperature measurement technology and offers particular added value for users who require continuous monitoring of heating or sterilization processes.

The glass-free Memosens 2.0 ISFET pH sensor Memosens CPS77E is the specialist for hygienic applications. Its bacteria-tight reference with highly resistant gel guarantees stable measurements. The unbreakable sensor is steam sterilizable and autoclaveable, ensuring the highest product safety. Thanks to Memosens 2.0 technology, CPS77E offers extended storage of calibration and process data for predictive maintenance.
