The culture of innovation at Endress+Hauser goes far beyond research and development.
Beginnings are always hard – and so it is with the circular economy. Michael Sinz, director of strategic business, explains how it can become a reality for the process industry and how Endress+Hauser is making headway with its implementation.
It’s time to rethink our linear economic model: the consequences of all that taking, making and wasting are getting harder and harder to ignore. But as yet we seem to lack that initial impetus, that spark, needed to set the circular economy in motion.
How much oil is in the storage tank? In international trade, only calibrated measuring devices can deliver an acceptable answer. Calibration can be done laboriously on site or directly at the factory, as Endress+Hauser does. And this is all thanks to a unique calibration rig.
Procurement offers great leverage towards achieving climate neutrality. That’s because with high production volumes – of instrument housings, for example – even small material savings can make a difference.
Endress+Hauser is developing the Netilion IIoT ecosystem in small steps. This approach lets users quickly and easily derive benefits from their data – and ensures that the solution fits their needs perfectly.
Brewing beer with the help of an algorithm: a new multi-sensor system models the fermentation process in real time. The live feed from inside the tank is made possible by a combination of various measurement methods with IIoT technology.
Field devices with Heartbeat Technology have a sense of what’s going on: they intelligently use sensor data in addition to the primary measured value to provide deep insights into the instrument and the process being monitored. The benefits are huge – even predictive maintenance becomes possible.
Endress+Hauser harnesses data and artificial intelligence to optimize internal processes along the value chain. The result is improved transparency, quality and efficiency – for customers, too. Here are five examples.
