Hygiene meets innovation: smarter measuring and cleaning in the food industry

How do you combine maximum food safety with efficient and sustainable production? In this seminar, you will discover how the right measurement technology and smart Cleaning-in-Place solutions reinforce each other. Learn more about the requirements for hygiene sensors and equipment and discover how real-time process data helps make cleaning processes smarter, faster, and more sustainable. Practical examples show how small steps in digitalization make a big difference for quality, compliance, and productivity.

Hygienic measurement: why food production places different demands on measurement technology

Measuring equipment in the food industry must meet fundamentally different requirements than in other process industries. Intensive cleaning cycles, high temperatures and pressure, aggressive cleaning agents, and strict hygiene requirements place heavy mechanical, thermal, and chemical demands on sensors and process connections. In this seminar, we discuss the forms of contamination that occur and why this entails such specific requirements for equipment. We examine which protection classes and materials are suitable for product contact, which process connections are used in practice, and why the choice in this regard is so crucial for a hygienic process. We also explain the most important legislation, regulations, and certifications to clarify what equipment in this sector must comply with.

Smart Manufacturing Starts with Smart Cleaning

Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) is one of the most critical processes in modern manufacturing, yet many CIP systems still operate with untapped optimization potential. Across industries such as food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and chemicals, CIP consumes valuable production time, large volumes of water, energy and cleaning chemicals, while adding pressure to sustainability targets and operational costs.

This seminar demonstrates how smart sensor technology and data-driven process control can transform CIP from a fixed operational necessity into a strategic optimization opportunity. By adding intelligent inline sensors to existing installations, manufacturers gain real-time process insight, enabling dynamic control of safe cleaning cycles, improved traceability and more efficient use of resources.

The result is a smarter, more connected operation: reduced water, energy and chemical consumption, increased production availability, improved compliance with industry regulations and quality standards, enhanced traceability and greater operational reliability.

Through practical examples, Holger Schmidt will show how small digitalization steps can deliver immediate business impact and support future-ready Smart Manufacturing.
