Recent developments surrounding Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things have started to facilitate a major paradigm shift in various manufacturing industries. The traditional production hierarchy with centralized control is shifting increasingly towards a decentralized self-organization.
Prevent problems
As measuring technologies also evolve, digitization has become a core element of innovation, for example shifting from analog signal transmission to end-to-end digital data transfer. As a result, intelligent measuring devices or sensors provide more than just accurate measuring values; they provide qualified real-time status information about the device status.
They can provide information to initiate preventive maintenance actions before problems can occur. This strongly supports operation management in keeping production running, avoiding downtime and planning repair at the right time. They can also integrate automatically into data networks and control systems, making initial installation or replacement fast and easy.
