Sensors and Controls

The system can record temperature, pressure and flow during a test and match the readings to each sample.

How it works

Built-in sensors send readings to a programmable controller, also called a PLC. Some setups can adjust the process to keep readings at their targets and save data as the line runs.

Sensor placement depends on what the test needs to measure. Matching readings to sample bottles helps the team compare results. The control panel determines how the data can be exported.
