Pilot Deployments
Sector: Food & Beverage – Brewing industry
Application description: At this customer in the brewing industry, the implementation of IO-Link enabled the digitization and optimization of key processes in the brewhouse using sensors for flow, conductivity, temperature, level, and pressure. Thanks to this technology, the company was able to transmit data directly to the controller and IT, facilitating the digitization of the plant. Installation was simplified thanks to standardized connections and decentralized infrastructure, reducing wiring and measurement points. In addition, parameters are stored in the IO-Link master, allowing sensors to be replaced without the need for reconfiguration.
Result: increased efficiency, process transparency, better use of resources such as water and energy, and a significant reduction in environmental impact.
