Demo: IP69K washdown
When working in automated food and beverage manufacturing segments like dairy, meat, filling and bottling, components that can survive in sanitary, hygienic and aseptic environments become necessary. Specifications for equipment look to reduce and remove areas for harboring bacteria. Poor survivability for automation components during washdown can become a major cause of downtime and lost production during changeovers and cleaning processes.
Balluff is utilized for manufacturing automation in four distinct applications inside a food and beverage facility: process automation, factory automation, flexible manufacturing and traceability.
Sensing technologies like photoelectric, inductive, capacitive, and linear position
Industrial RFID technologies & connectivity technologies
