But what happens when a temperature sensor slowly drifts?

These deviations often go unnoticed during production but gradually affect food quality, increase waste, and reduce process control.

The TCC temperature sensor from ifm takes a smarter approach.

By continuously comparing the two measuring elements, the TCC identifies drift behaviour early, before quality is compromised.

Because trust in data is the foundation of food quality.

In assembly automation, quality is defined long before the final station.

When errors go unnoticed early, they multiply downstream - costing time, material, and productivity.

That’s why modern assembly lines rely on built‑in error proofing. Precise optical sensing enables real‑time verification of part presence and correct positioning at critical assembly steps, ensuring the process only continues when conditions are right.

By validating each operation as it happens, manufacturers can prevent incorrect assembly, stabilize processes, and protect overall equipment effectiveness - without slowing production.

At ifm, smart sensing helps turn error proofing into a natural part of automated assembly, delivering reliable output, reduced rework, and greater process confidence - station by station.

One for PROFINET. Another for Ethernet/IP. A spare - just in case.

That lot adds up fast.
Space, cost, confusion.

The ifm AutomationLine IO‑Link Master is multiprotocol, quietly changing that equation.

One device that fits into whichever fieldbus the project demands.

The ifm Automation Line IO-Link Master is already out there.

Multiprotocol. IP67. 8 ports, 2A outputs. Designed for decentralised automation in the harshest environments.

If your plant still runs on yesterday's I/O architecture, it's time to catch up.

Another exciting week of innovation and collaboration.

Over the last five days, we successfully conducted Technology Days with five valued customers across four states, engaging teams from diverse industries around the latest trends in industrial automation, IIoT, digitalization, and smart sensing technologies.

The sessions focused on practical applications of Industry 4.0 solutions, predictive maintenance, process optimization, condition monitoring, and connected factory concepts - helping customers explore ways to improve efficiency, reliability, and sustainability in their operations.

A big thank you to all participating teams for the engaging discussions, insightful interactions, and warm hospitality throughout the journey.

Looking forward to enabling more smart manufacturing transformations together.

ifm electronic recently conducted Technology Day sessions at Verka Dairy facilities in Chandigarh and Amritsar.

Verka, the brand of Punjab State Cooperative Milk Producers' Federation Ltd. (Milkfed), operates large-scale dairy processing units with high standards of hygiene, traceability, and reliability - making it an ideal environment for advanced automation solutions.

The sessions focused on:

- Hygienic sensor technologies for dairy applications
- Condition monitoring & predictive maintenance
- IO-Link based smart sensing and diagnostics
- Enabling Industry 4.0 in dairy processing

It was great to engage with the Verka engineering and operations teams on improving uptime, process transparency, and overall plant efficiency.

Thank you to SINGH Sukhwinder Rupinder Singh for the continued support.

Hard work powers every industry and every success story.
Here’s to the hands and minds that keep moving us forward.

Happy Labour Day!

Cabling is one of the most underestimated cost drivers in food & agribusiness plants.

Installation effort, failures in washdown zones, and time spent troubleshooting wiring faults quietly add up.

That’s why many manufacturers are simplifying their automation architecture with 𝐈𝐎‑𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐒‑𝐢 reducing cabling complexity, improving reliability, and lowering total operating costs.

When cabling becomes simpler, efficiency follows.

Thank you for visiting ifm at Anuga FoodTec India Dairy 2026.

We truly appreciate the engaging conversations, valuable interactions, and interest shown in smart automation and sensing solutions for the dairy industry.

It was a pleasure connecting with industry professionals, and we look forward to continuing the conversation beyond the exhibition.

Today is the final day of Anuga FoodTec India Dairy 2026.
