By collecting more accurate sensor data in real-time with ifm sensors, you are alerted immediately of any drift in production. This allows you to make corrections immediately and improve machine performance during battery manufacturing, battery recycling, charging infrastructure, electric motor manufacturing, and hydrogen and fuel cell manufacturing.
ifm’s moneo Software predicts machine failure and displays the health of your automated metal processing machine. Install an IO-Link vibration sensor on your machine. The sensor transmits data through the IIoT port of an IO-Link master to the software. The sensor data is converted to usable information. The software is user-friendly and IT or PLC programming is not needed.
ifm’s wireless RFID UHF system automates asset identification and item tracking in real-time, improving operational efficiency and minimizing inventory losses within the stocking facility. High-speed read-write antennas and RFID tags accurately capture data on assets moving through the gate. The solution software is pre-installed on the master edge controller and can be configured easily using the touch screen. The controller can be connected to your ERP using a simple wizard in less than 10 minutes.

Products & Services
From battery production and manufacturing to wet processes utilizing pumps, ifm provides solutions to most application challenges. A leading manufacturer of intelligent sensors with IO-Link digitalization, ifm offers system and sensor solutions that include Industry 4.0 technologies, such as smart fluid power controls, WIP and asset tracking, smart tooling and machine access, machine health analytics and cloud solutions. Our data-driven technologies help avoid waste, eliminate machine stoppage and lower costs in the production of batteries.
ifm vibration sensors warn of pump failure in real-time in the electrode drying process. High performance optical sensors ensure the presence of material in stacking and welding in cell assembly. Pressure sensors and flow meters accurately control leakage in racking applications. Code-reader vision sensors qualify and verify 2D data matrix codes for accurate part presence in module assembling. Error-proofing vision sensors detect objects regardless of color, material or angle and ensure real-time quality control. Visit ifm booths 4229 (within the German Pavilion) and 2252.
IO-Link masters (AL13xx series) for the automotive industry
ifm’s IO-Link image-based code-reader sends barcode scan data through an IO-Link master directly to Ignition or higher level software systems for better traceability at every step of production.
AL13xx Series IO-Link Master: The IO-Link master replaces a traditional analog input card with a digital communication path between the master and device. Up to 8 IO-Link devices such as sensors, valves, and I/O modules can be connected to a single master depending on the configuration of the master. The master transmits machine data, process parameters, and diagnostic information to a PLC controller or directly to a higher level IioT controls system.
Temperature Sensors (TR series): More compact and easier to install than head- and well- assemblies
This control monitor with display offers a wide range of temperature evaluation, intuitive, user-friendly handling, and automatic detection of the connected sensor type. It is used to detect, evaluate, and display the signals of resistance temperature sensors. See more details here
Temperature Sensors (TR series): More compact and easier to install than head- and well- assemblies. The TR Series process temperature monitors provide highly accurate temperature indication of fluids. The monitor’s integrated display allows a user to view temperature directly at the process. Th robust, stainless steel housing withstands harsh conditions. Programmable in either °F or °C, the highly visible display can be viewed from a distance which is advantageous in low-lit areas.
Photoelectric Laser Distance Sensors (OGD Series) for Error-Proofing Applications
OGD laser distance sensor uses time-of-flight technology and detects any object regardless of color, material, or angle. The sensor comes embedded with three different operating modes (fine, standard, fast). See more details here
OGD Laser Distance Sensor is a solution for real-time quality control in automotive production. Our OGD distance measurement sensor detects almost any target, regardless of color, material or angle. With superior optical performance, PMD technology and a compact profile for easy mounting, the OGD laser sensor can keep your processes and machines moving throughout the entire plant. No false triggers from highly reflective objects such as stainless steel. High switching frequency for fast moving targets.
O3R Robotic Perception Sensors to Increase Efficiency of Robot Fleets
The O3R robotics perception sensor enables robots to understand their position in real time, even in harsh environments. Designed to reduce complexity and combine perception, computation, and solutions in one platform, the O3R sensor supports easy integration and maintenance. Its core technology, PMD Time of Flight, provides fast 3D point imaging for applications. The sensor increases efficiency of each automated forklift by improving overall throughput with faster pallet picks and drops. The intuitive software has also been optimized to provide high accuracy regardless of pallet materials, colors and conditions. Implementing a software that is optimized for easy integration frees development capacity to focus on your core IP.

Multicode Readers (O2I5 series) Increase Machine Uptime
Like other ifm camera products, the O2I code ready is fully self-contained, including the imager, evaluation unit, illumination, and outputs. The evaluation algorithm provides 4x higher resolution for reliable reading results, 10x faster evaluation for high-speed applications, and 10x faster setup to optimize production availability.
The O2I5 family of code readers includes a capable and easy-to-use logic layer. This allows standalone operation of production quality checks to improve overall quality without the high cost of implementing a tracking program. If you want to integrate the sensor into your IIoT, SCADA, MES or other higher-level systems, the EtherNet/IP interface transmits the code data as desired.
