Sensors

Systems for the detection of object states and properties

In addition to the location of an object, other parameters that can be recorded by sensors may also be required to determine its status.

For example, in the production of metal molds by means of casting processes, it is necessary to keep the temperature and humidity of the cores used within the defined ranges in order to be able to meet the quality requirements for the end product.

A sensor records certain physical (e.g. heat quantity, temperature, humidity, pressure, sound field quantities, brightness, acceleration) or chemical (e.g. pH value, ionic strength, electrochemical potential) properties of its environment qualitatively or quantitatively as a measured variable. The INDUTRAX Application Environment allows by means of visual customizing tools an easy integration of different sensors of various manufacturers in addition to the location of the tracked objects. By means of the standard functionalities deviations can be detected automatically and notifications can be distributed.
