industrial data monitoring & Sensors

Today’s industrial data acquisition generally takes place in real time. The conditions & process environments of measured values regarding room climate change slowly, but are, nevertheless, permanent. Therefore, modern data recording systems that are implemented in this industry have to be reliable like Lufft's products. Lufft's products feature the following characteristics:

Modular design, a flexible & expandable sensor archive, freely programmable representation of measured values, as well as a monitoring system that is precisely tailored to the respective requirements & reacts as quickly as possible to potential non conformities by setting off an alarm.

The performance & quality of the whole data acquisition system is determined by measurement. Each application requires the ideal sensor for the job, and for this reason we offer several sensors – according to specification & area of application – for identical measuring categories. While a customer, for example, implicitly requires sensors in a steel housing, another application might necessitate the need for a differential pressure sensor with display. Due to Lufft's experience in various projects they are not only able to recommend, when it comes to sensors, the best possible solution for each application to our customers, but they also possess a variety of alternatives so that each user can find the ideal product.

Data storage naturally takes place in the central computer instead of at its collection point in real time. What happens if the system crashes? In cases of maximum data security they have integrated data logger modules in the measurement chain. These are situated between the sensor & the central computer & represent a type of “Hammock”. If the central computer does not receive all the data, then the data can be read “offline” & transferred from the data loggers.

Nowadays modern data logging systems are independent of measurement rates, or rather measurement clocks. The data loggers establish an average value per sensor according to the user’s requirements. With particle sensors this is the total sum per time unit. In industry, data transfer is sent analogically to a computer in the network.

Due to the technical connection with the IP Network, data recording sites each receive an IP address & are linked by means of existing network
architecture. Qualification completes the successful system implementation procedure; calibration ensures an error-free & long-term precise operation.

Representation & evaluation is carried out by the software’s client/server structure, allowing users to access & obtain relevant data. Due to the fact that many processes are “climate critical” and that the computer is not always on site, Lufft works with freely programmable displays
which inform the user about any current data. At the same time they provide a long-term traceability of processes.

For many pharmaceutical and clean room applications the most important link in the chain is the alarm. Ultimately, it is imperative to act immediately to any possible deviations & take appropriate action. It is essential, for example, that processes such as “long-term stability tests” or clean
room production be put right straight away if an error in the process chain arises.

Measuring is not just measuring. Each application & application area requires the ideal sensor. Apart from this, it is imperative in the pharmaceutical production & food industry, that the hundreds of guidelines in place are adhered to & a multitude of inspections conducted. Only then can long-lasting international standards be guaranteed. BARBER InSys can help you find the right product.
