NIST’s Nenad Ivezic provides a more detailed view of the progress made in standardizing data communications in the food supply chain—including sensors and IIoT at the farm and industrial levels
While much of the work involving the standardization of communication in the overall food supply chain is finished, there is still work needing to be done regarding the standardization of IIoT sensor data. I asked Nenad Ivezic, leader of the Process Engineering Group in the Systems Integration Division of the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Engineering Laboratory, to fill us in on the particulars.
The CI 21 fixed transmitter has a charge carrier injection sensor that is a progressive development to improve upon current ammonia refrigeration detection methods.
Engineered for use with Coperion K-Tron loss-in-weight feeders, the Coperion K-Tron Electronic Pressure Compensation system provides automated indications and responses to feeder performance influences, such as pressure and vacuum.
Dust Alert Model DD-3000 is designed with integrated electronics and a sensing probe that uses inductive electrification technology to detect and alert—via an alarm relay or 4-20 mA output—when dust emissions exceed a preset point.
