Smart Sensors
The "eyes and ears" of Industry 4.0
The use of sensor equipment in mechanical and plant engineering, with measurement of variables, evaluation of signals, and communication via interfaces to higher-level systems, has been a standard procedure for some time now. In addition to conventional sensor equipment, ANDRITZ also uses micro and wireless sensors for Metris. These sensors can be used to collect even more detailed machine and plant data from pre-defined areas that are relevant in optimizing operations.
