Smart sensors evaluate field data to optimize production processes More than just accurate: smart measurement technology supplies valuable additional information

Significant added value Heartbeat Technology gives Endress+Hauser's process sensors smart capabilities. Measuring devices equipped with smart sensors use per manent process and device diagnostics to provide valuable data to optimize processes and increase efficiency. Smart sensors even make it possible for the monitoring and verification of the field devices to be documented without process interruption. Overall, Industry 4.0-capable devices offer the user significant added value with their extended connectivity, internal diagnostics, verification and monitor- ing functions as well as the direct communication between the smart sensors and the cloud.

Pressure Cerabar and Deltabar These pressure transmitters detect, for example, clogged impulse lines, closed valves or changes in agitators. This is made possible by statistical sensor diagnostics integrated into Heartbeat Technology. It is based on a recording of the "noise profile" by smart pressure sensors, which occurs during dynamic processes. If this changes in the ongoing process, the pressure sensor detects the change and issues an alarm. Smart sensors are intelligent all-rounders. They monitor fill levels remotely, measure the health of machine compo nents or detect errors in the plant in record time. Measur ing devices with digital interfaces and smart diagnostic functions supply not only precise measured values but also a whole host of valuable data from the process – and there fore the “ raw material” for Industry 4.0. Using this infor mation, it is possible to optimize processes and workflows. Maintenance can be planned predictively, so that plant downtimes become the absolute exception. Smart sensors therefore ensure faster, more flexible and more economical production processes.

Flow Proline series The flowmeters of the Proline series not only supply measured values with customary precision, they also evaluate parameters to identify influences that are having a negative impact on measurement perfor mance or production processes. These include corrosion, abrasion, film formation or gas inclusions. This informa tion enables predictive maintenance and protects prod uct quality. It helps to reduce costs and increases plant safety in safety-relevant or quality-critical applications.
