Challenge:
Despite strict standards, contamination with foreign bodies occurs time and again in the production of food. If the foreign body is enclosed in the material mass or packaging, only sensors that are able to X-ray the product can help. But even for these solutions, certain foreign body materials are a challenge.
Our solution:
Our Terahertz sensors reliably detect differences in material and can therefore detect foreign bodies in already packaged goods or recognise incorrect packaging. They do not require ionising radiation and are therefore a comparatively cost-effective option for these problems.
The result:
With our sensor solutions, faulty products can be sorted out before delivery, for example, and do not enter circulation in the first place. This avoids the costs of a recall and prevents potential damage to the company’s image.
Challenge:
In steel production rolling mills, the environmental conditions are harsh and extremely challenging for existing sensor solutions for inline quality control: high temperatures of the red-hot steel, strong vibrations, scale and water vapour lead to sensor failures or make their use impossible from the outset.
Our solution:
Together with our partners in the field of commercial sensor solutions, we have developed and robustified radar sensors and brought them into use.
The result:
Our sensor system works 24/7 and the constantly reliable measured values provide feedback to the roll control system in the roll stand. This enables CO2 to be saved through reduced overwidth production and therefore less waste, which has to be melted down again in an energy-intensive process.
