At Balluff, the focus is on three current trend topics designed to support companies in the packaging industry in automating and optimising their systems and processes: The hardware and software components of the SAMS enable the realisation of smart production.
Thanks to integrated standard interfaces and protocols, even Existing systems can be retrofitted with smart components. The system can be customised: Various optoelectronic, inductive or capacitive sensors, identification systems, I/O modules and software result in a customised system for the intelligent automation of entire production lines. The sensors already have many relevant status monitoring functions on board. In addition to reliable identification, the Read/write heads, for example, vibration and tilt detection, humidity measurement or temperature monitoring.
The necessary cabling of sensors and actuators is often a major hurdle when implementing a wide range of applications. Thanks to wireless technology, based on the established IO-Link communication standard, the necessary cabling is no longer required. Contactless data transmission makes wires and cables obsolete.
The Smart Reordering System consists of an ultrasonic sensor, gateway and cloud application. It can be installed within ten minutes and epermanently records all stock levels, which can be viewed graphically on a dashboard. are. A notification is sent as soon as the level falls below defined limits. This reduces replenishment times and empty runs.
