What Are the Trends in the Market That Are Influencing Changes in the Electromagnetic Flow Meter Architecture?
2019-06-04
There are multiple industry trends driving the need for a new architecture. One is the ever increasing need for more data. The ability to monitor other attributes in liquid other than flow is becoming more and more valuable. This may be, for example, to determine what contaminants may be in the liquid, or it may be to determine whether the liquid has the correct density/viscosity for the application. There are many such requirements of adding such diagnostics. It is not possible with the traditional approach to extract such information easily as most of the sensor information is lost during the synchronous demodulation phase.
There is also a continuing demand for increased productivity and efficiency in the manufacturing process. In a liquid dosing/filling application, for example, more and more filling nodes are being added, and as manufacturing processes scale, and the speed of the filling increases, this drives the need for faster and more accurate flow monitoring.
