The importance of reliable monitoring in the pharmaceutical industry

One of the biggest challenges in industries that require temperature and humidity control is ensuring the proper storage of raw materials and products while complying with all regulations. To achieve this, monitoring must be accurate, reliable, and continuous. 

The first major challenge is measurement accuracy. Inaccurate sensors can compromise product quality. Additionally, sensors must be properly calibrated and certified, ensuring that records remain within the required standards and comply with current regulations such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11. 

Another critical aspect is continuous monitoring. Relying on manual records or fragile systems can lead to reporting failures and even product loss due to unreliable data, resulting in significant financial losses. 

Beyond technical and regulatory challenges, there is also an economic factor. Replacing existing systems can be difficult, so the ideal solution must be flexible, integrating seamlessly with current systems without complications or additional costs. 

NOVUS developed the Climate Air+ solution to overcome these challenges, combining two innovative devices: RHT Air+ and AirGate Air+. 

The RHT Air+ is a temperature and humidity sensor that automatically collects, records, and stores data in its memory. It then sends this information directly to the AirGate Air+, which also records and reads the data and transmits it online to a cloud or SCADA platform. 

The devices communicate via radio, ensuring a stable connection even in environments with physical barriers, with a range of up to 3 km. This means that product movement does not interfere with data transmission. 

With a storage capacity of up to 50 days and a 5-minute publishing interval, both devices ensure that even in extreme situations, such as power failures, data remains secure. 

The RHT Air+ operates on a non-rechargeable internal battery, which can last up to two years depending on the publishing interval, or it can be powered via a USB-C port with a 5V DC power supply. 

Meanwhile, the AirGate Air+ is powered by an external power source of 8 to 30V DC. Each AirGate Air+ receives information from up to 32 RHT Air+ devices, forming islands of continuous, precise, and secure monitoring.

Temperature measurement in livestock cargo

, , ,

In animal transport, the temperature inside the cargo should legally meet certain standards. The temperature is measured by a sensor and can be read in the cabin. For such an application you need a duplex remote.

A Tyro remote has already been used for the operation of valves, bulkheads, shaft, and the fan, therefore, it was a small step for Tyro to make a duplex remote control with a display to read the temperature on the transmitter. By doing that, Tyro made it possible to read the temperature on the transmitter!

Reliable, safe, and custom-made are the core values of the tyro remotes.

This project shows our core value that we are good at customization. The other two values that our products are reliable and safe are evident from the rapid growth of our organization, various certifications that we have, and our reputed client base.

Many customers are also attracted to Tyro’s flexibility as an organization and as a manufacturer of industrial remote controls. At tyro, customer-specific modifications can be achieved quickly and cost-effectively.

Wireless Anti-Two Block Switch Systems for Traditional ATB

, , , , , ,

This Wireless ATB is designed to be a simple cost-effective replacement for traditional ATB systems.

With a quick installation, it is an easy way to remove the headaches associated with the wires, rusted contact, and loose springs of traditional ATB systems.

This wireless system eliminates both the cable reel and the anti-two block switch and the headaches associated with them. The self-contained switch is immune to mechanical failures and water damage since both the switch and the receiver are designed with solid state components which are fully encapsulated; the system is designed to be as hassle-free as possible. There’s no need to worry about the potential for a cable being broken by branches or other objects and no more need for a cable reel.

This is also a perfect solution to eliminate the corrosion factor in the reel contacts and their loose springs. Installation is as simple as mounting the wireless switch at the boom tip and installing the receiver at the base of the boom. This simple installation allows OEMs to reduce manufacturing costs by removing brackets, wire guides, and the associated labor.

Benefits of Eagle Signal’s CT4 SERIES

, , , ,

by Haleigh Rozier | May 22, 2018

Eagle Signal manufactures electronic timer, electromechanical timer, and other devices. Within the electromechanical family is the HQ4 series of percentage timers. Percentage timers are a type of repeat cycle device that is compact and long-lasting. The HQ4 series is a unique timer that can function as an on delay, off delay, interval timer or repeat cycle device. Eagle Signal offers this accurate, economical, enclosed timer for a wide range of applications. Specifically, those where repetitive ON times of a fixed cycle requires adjustability. This series is a panel mounted unit with an exposed dial. The load relays’ seal protects against the environment. The HQ4 proves to be durable in industries such as chemical, feeding, irrigation controls, electric heaters, and motor controls. Recently, Eagle Signal developed an improved version of the HQ4 Series called the Cycl-Time® or CT4 Series.

The CT4 offers improved features including resolution, potentiometer, ease of setting, torque, safety, sealings, and wiring. Also, the Cycl-Time®’s resolution is more defined. For example, the colors of the faceplate offer more contrast for reading the time settings. With 100 ticks around the dial rather than 50, the CT4’s percentage options are more precise than the HQ4. The torque of the Cycl-Time® dial is more resistant to change than before. Once the timer is set, it will not rotate any further without intentional force from the user. These features combine to make the timer more accurate and easier to set. Safety is always the greatest concern when designing any product. The Cycl-Time® has a plastic guard over the terminal block to protect the user’s fingers from exposure to contractors. This percentage timer is ideal for applications environmental factors would usually cause concern. These features provide a longer lasting product and additional safety. The wiring and electrical connections of the HQ4 was also updated for the CT4. It now has four electrical connections, rather than seven, all in a straight line on the back of the body of the timer. As mentioned before, this timer is made to panel mounted. Eagle Signal continues to design the most accurate, economical, and reliable products in the industry. The HQ4 and Cycl-Time® Series are both exceptional devices fit for their specific applications. Cycl-Time® proves to be a respectable replacement option to the HQ4 Series.

Contrast sensors for print mark detection

, ,

Baumer’s new FKDK 14 contrast sensors for print mark detection are fast and accurate, making them the ideal, economical solution for print mark detection in packaging and printing machines. Utilizing white light as the light source, the FKDK 14 series can precisely detect print marks of all colors.
Optimized for high throughput speed, the new contrast sensor offers a response time down to 50 µs. This allows very short throughput times to be achieved.  At the same time, the contrast sensor is very compact and can be integrated easily into any machine. The 2-point teach-in procedure is simple and intuitive and can also be conducted dynamically during the process.
Since the light source is white light, the contrast sensor can reliably detect print marks of all colors, even with slight contrast to the background. The switching status is indicated with an LED, which is clearly visible through the transparent housing base of the contrast scanner.
The FKDK 14 is ideally suited for applications in packaging and graphic machinery. Providing an economical solution for print mark or printing plate detection, the FKDK 14 diffuse contrast sensor combines short response time and a compact housing with the unique white light source.
