Optimising production processes, reducing downtime and cutting costs are constant challenges for all manufacturers, especially where there are trends for diverse product variations. The food and beverage industry is an example of where there are always demands on manufacturers to be innovative and able to respond to customer demands for new flavours and variations. Consequently, there is increased pressure on systems and the key components within them to be able to deliver what's required. Sensors are an obvious example of devices that are becoming increasingly important in the latest automated process systems, such as the latest PAD20 level sensors from BAUMER. The new generation of PAD20 sensors has been pivotal in improving efficiency, with accurate and reliable detection of air and gas bubbles in ingredients, at one of Europe's most advanced dairy plants. The PAD20 analysis sensors won a Dairy Technology Award for Environment and Sustainability, presented at Anuga Food Tech in Cologne earlier this year.
