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

Level The new Liquiphant Supposedly simple devices contain more information than is already used today: The new Liquiphant limit switch, for example, is more than just a limit detector. With the integrated Bluetooth® interface and SmartBlue app, you can access valid information for process optimization, such as predictive maintenance, which can help to increase plant availability. Further information is available at: https://www.endress.com/en/ field-instruments-overview/product-finder (level) Pressure Cerabar and Deltabar The new Cerabar and Deltabar pressure transmitters also supply valuable additional information. They detect clogged impulse lines, closed valves or changes in agitators. This is made possible by the so-called statistical sensor diagnosis, which is integrated in the Heartbeat Technology. This is based on recording the "noise profile" of smart pressure sensors, which occurs during dynamic processes. If this changes during the running process, due to a clogged pipeline for example, the pressure sensor detects the change and issues an alarm before the line is completely clogged. Further information is available at: https://www.endress.com/en/ field-instruments-overview/product-finder (pressure) Flow Proline series Even today, many Endress+Hauser measuring devices are equipped with smart sensors. This includes our latest flowmeters in the Proline series. Not only do they supply measured values with the usual levels of precision, but they also determine parameters to identify influences with a negative effect on the measurement performance or production processes. These include corrosion, abrasion, deposit formation or gas inclusions. This information enables predictive maintenance and protects product quality. It helps reduce costs and increase plant safety in security relevant or quality-critical applications.

Smart sensors are intelligent all-rounders. They monitor fill levels remotely, measure the health of machine components or detect errors in the plant in record time. Measuring devices with digital interfaces and smart diagnostic functions not only supply precise measured values but also a whole host of valuable data from the process – and therefore the "raw material" for Industry 4.0. Using this information, 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.

Significant added value Heartbeat Technology makes the Endress+Hauser process sensors "smart". Measuring devices with smart sensors use permanent process and device diagnostics to provide valuable data to optimize processes and increase efficiency. Documented checking and verification of the field devices is also possible without interruption when using smart sensors. Overall, Industry 4.0-capable devices offer the user significant added value with their extended connectivity, internal diagnosis, verification and monitoring functions as well as the direct communication between the smart sensors and the cloud.
