00:09Marstons Brewery like from 1800s onwards so it steeped in history at this place.
00:15We brew beer.
00:17So in a brewery when you talk about automation it´s pretty much absolutely everything.
00:22"From the dry goods coming in to the brewing process
00:27"all the way through to the packaging lines where we then have the packaging machines
00:31"cans bottles and put the beer into casks
00:37The application which I use ifm equipment for was
00:40to solve a problem we were having with our tank levels in the process department.
00:45Our process department has many tanks where we store the beer.
00:48One of the key things for us is to actually know how much beer we have in those tanks.
00:53I started looking at the application of how we could make it easier for our operators
00:57and how we could make it easier for the engineers to maintain.
01:00I looked at ifm pressure sensors in the top and bottom of the tank
01:04a level switch on the bottom of the pipe to know when we've ran out we can stop the process
01:08and also use a little ifm display to let operators know the tank levels
01:13and also change colour when it starts to get low level that we need to do something and take action.
01:18So i used io-link (Hersteller) in this application because it really brings all of the instruments together
01:22its allows me to get so much more information and data out of the instrument
01:27"it also means that if i have a instrument fail
01:31and automatically have configured the masters to re-download all the information to it.
01:36"I love the technology
01:42than just your normal 4 to 20 switch.
01:45The ifm representative came to site
01:48we had a discussion and then they came back at a later date
01:51and brought a product specialist with them
01:52to really go through and bottom out kind of any issues or problems that I had.
01:57"I believe ifm is a good partner
02:02the io-link technology that we´ve looked at and investigated so far
02:05and the future products which are coming from ifm
02:08yeah I believe they are a good partner to choose to further with us.
