Flow measurement in industrial cleaning systems
Digital recording of operating times and resource consumption for optimized cleaning processes
Benefits
- Elimination of manual inspections and sources of error
- Digital recording and documentation
- Traceable recording of resource consumption
- Data-based optimization of performance and sustainability
Challenge
Industrial washing and cleaning systems must reliably document operating times, number of wash cycles, and consumption of water and cleaning agents. Manual control of cleaning agent consumption makes it difficult to use resources efficiently and is also time-consuming and prone to errors. Digital, automated recording of consumption values can also facilitate the analysis and optimization of processes using artificial intelligence.
Solution
With the FS501 flow sensor, TURCK offers a reliable solution for recording water and cleaning agent consumption. The IO-Link Smart Sensor Profile enables standardized and comprehensive recording of relevant operating data such as wash cycles, operating hours, and water and solvent quantities. The totalizing function automatically adds up these values and makes them available directly via the IO-Link output. The sensors measure with an immersion sensor, which simplifies installation. Digital data acquisition eliminates manual recording and sources of error, while continuous data analysis unlocks potential for optimizing resource use and energy consumption. The solution thus supports sustainable production goals and helps to increase the efficiency of cleaning processes.
"With our FS501 IO-Link flow sensor, we enable seamless and paperless documentation that paves the way for greater efficiency and sustainability in industrial cleaning."
