While the mixing and blending of liquid ingredients into a liquid product is an exact, controlled process, combining dry ingredients has unique challenges that have been difficult to control with automation. Finally, sensors and automation are here to help.

TempTale GEO APX Global monitors temperature, humidity, light and location, and transmits data automatically, without manual downloads, to the SensiWatch Platform.

The Rosemount 350A digital sensor converts and transmits pH/ORP data digitally, reducing susceptibility to electrical noise and helping teams get to a stable measurement faster.

Impedance sensors give operators a new method of observing soil removal in real time, reducing the uncertainty that undermines CIP efficiency.

This visual overview, featuring images and videos of robotics applications in the food industry, illustrates what is possible with modern vision systems, artificial intelligence and robotics in a range of applications — from agricultural harvesting to serving up RTE meals, smart palletization and carcass cutting.

We’ve compiled the Top 10 processing and packaging equipment solutions FOOD ENGINEERING’s readers were most interested in this year.

To make good decisions, people, automation and AI systems need quality data — but to let an AI agent make an autonomous decision without input from operators and key decision makers means a processor needs to have lots of accurate data based on real and known sensory inputs, which may not exist in many plants and enterprises.

Moisture monitoring has become an integral part of the production line, helping manufacturers safeguard product quality, boost efficiency and meet compliance targets.

It wasn’t that long ago that maintenance systems were an afterthought to control systems. Today, sensors and software focused on maintenance run on edge-based equipment in parallel with control systems, letting manufacturers plan for processing and maintenance in an orderly and sensible way.

The system can monitor a variety of conditions, including temperature, humidity, vibration and pressure.
