Monk Conveyors – IO-Link sensor implementation for optimising conveyor belt equipment

IO-Link sensor implementation for optimising conveyor belt equipment

Thanks to IO-Link, Monk conveyors are able to minimise cabling in the field when building and installing conveyor equipment and machinery. Monk conveyors act as a system integrator: they bring together conveyors and the machines of the costumers as well as the control system into a finished turnkey solution.

There is a lot of field wiring that needs to be done, so the conveyors can work efficiently. ifm's automation solutions are a specific advantage for the conveyor systems because thanks to the IO-Link technology, the cabling itself as well as the wiring time can be reduced, and more visibility and monitoring of the system is possible.
