The Rosemount 490A provides accurate dissolved oxygen measurements in demanding environments while simplifying integration into existing control systems with digital and universal Modbus RTU communication via an accompanying transmitter.
Including both processing and packaging technologies, here are the manufacturing plant products that FOOD ENGINEERING’s readers were most interested in this year.
Artificial intelligence, coupled with machine learning, promises to improve plant operations from sensor level to the enterprise, but adoption has been slow with some overzealous starts.
With the rushed production schedules at plants, having key process information is not the only data needed, but key device data allows scheduled maintenance.
New remote service tools and robust asset management platforms enable food and beverage companies to envision AI-based strategies and facilitate product innovation across the enterprise.

Over the years, data acquisition systems and sensor technology have made it easier to track and improve OEE scores — now AI and ML can find nuances in data to up performance.
While you can measure and chart OEE manually, today’s AI and ML-based technologies with smart sensors can help processors find the little things that can improve availability, performance and quality — leading to autonomous manufacturing.
The sensors are suited for challenges when measuring points aren’t easily accessible, located in dusty areas and harsh environments with extreme process temperatures and process conditions.
As the regulatory landscape becomes increasingly complex, forward-thinking organizations are turning to Internet of Things (IoT) technology to ensure adherence to evolving standards throughout the production process.
