SENSOR SOLUTIONS

摘要

The world of sensors continues to evolve at a rapid pace, with advances in electronics and microfluidics making many techniques much more accessible to the food industry. Here are a few examples: Free-floating sensors The Technology Partnership (TTP) developed a bolus for monitoring temperature and pH in a cow's rumen, in conjunction with the Roslin Institute. This reports values wirelessly to a collar around the cow's neck. Similar technology could be used to make measurements within a flow of mixture -free-floating sensors measuring temperature, pH and other values, and which are then screened out and reused. This avoids the problem of product build-up on static sensors.
