Industry 4.0 coffee grinding application with Bauermeister and PROBAT
How can industrial coffee grinding become more efficient, reliable, and future‑proof? In this application video, Bauermeister and PROBAT showcase highly automated coffee grinding machines using intelligent sensor solutions.
The machines are fully automatically controlled and designed for a high level of Industry 4.0 automation. Modern sensor technology covers temperature sensing, position measurement, and vibration monitoring, enabling advanced diagnostics and condition monitoring. By switching from conventional analog wiring to IO‑Link, installation time was reduced by 20–25%, wiring errors were eliminated, and machine modules can now be exchanged easily thanks to plug‑and‑play technology — without the need for additional electricians. This use case demonstrates how Industry 4.0, IO‑Link, and smart sensor solutions help increase efficiency and machine availability in the coffee processing industry.
