Endress+Hauser Flow Germany ... measuring liquid concentrations using surface acoustic waves

Endress+Hauser has fully integrated SensAction, a specialist in the field of concentration measurement for liquids based in Coburg, Germany, that will now operate as Endress+Hauser Flow Germany.
 
The integrated company’s products and technologies broaden Endress+Hauser’s offering for measuring and analysing quality parameters.
 
SensAction was founded in 2008 and has been part of the Endress+Hauser Group since 2017 as a fully-owned subsidiary of Endress+Hauser Flowtec based in Reinach, Switzerland.
 
“We have been growing together with Endress+Hauser for years in joint technology development as well as direct sales via our sales centers. Our new company name and the adapted appearance now make this change visible,” says Chairman of the Board Stefan Rothballer.
 
BROAD APPLICATION RANGE
 
The instruments for measuring concentrations in liquids utilise ultrasonic surface acoustic waves (SAW). This technology can be deployed in all Endress+Hauser target markets. In the food and beverage industry, for example, it can determine the sugar content in mixed beverages such as soft drinks.
 
“Our devices precisely and reliably measure concentrations in real time while the process is running. That makes the circuitous route via the lab superfluous,” explains Michael Münch, Head of Production, Development and Quality.
 
The measurement instruments made in Coburg are thus an ideal fit for the Endress+Hauser strategy.
 
“Our customers not only want to monitor physical parameters but also directly obtain information regarding product quality,” says Dr Mirko Lehmann, CEO of Endress+Hauser Flowtec AG. “Our goal is to be the market leader in ultrasonic flow measurement technology in combination with quality measurements.”
 
The company is also integrating SAW technology in order to expand the Endress+Hauser product offering.
 
“By combining quality and flow measurement, we can provide our customers with information for process optimisation. We also want to use Industry 4.0 solutions to help our customers improve efficiency and quality,” adds Michael Kaiser, Head of Ultrasonic and IIoT Solutions.
 
Endress+Hauser Flow Germany has 20 employees in Coburg. The centre of competence for SAW not only develops and manufactures measurement technology but also supports customers with the required application know-how. The company also boasts superior knowledge in the field of model building and signal processing. The specialists, who are part of the SAW scientific community, work closely with universities and are involved in industry associations. –Tradearabia News Service
