HYGIENIC
AND HIGH QUALITY
DAIRY
The dairy industry is subject to the strictest hygienic and quality regulations. This is
why a real-time capable and transparent production process with modular production
lines is indispensable for efficient production. Only in this way, can traceability and
flexibility be ensured. Our comprehensive product portfolio enables you to optimally
configure your equipment and machines for meeting the demands of your customers.
MEAT PROCESSING
Cleanliness has the highest priority in the meat processing industry as well. Only if
hygienicstandards are taken into account when the machine is built can the desired
high quality of the end product be ensured. We offer a wide range of sensors for hy-
gienic areas that provide the greatest reliability even in harsh application conditions.

VIA IO-LINK.
The bi-directional communication interface IO-Link is a veritable enabler technology
for the Smart Factory. A standard that we have developed together with our partners.
With IO-Link, you communicate from the control unit down to the lowest level of
automation through a universally applicable interface. Even at high data volumes,
the fieldbus-neutral point-to-point connection transmits signals and data safely and
reliably over a simple three-wire cable. In this way we make efficient, transparent
and demand-based production processes in your company possible.

Simply safe
Automation demands safety. With Safety over IO-Link from Balluff you enjoy
the proven benefits of IO-Link now for the safety of people and equipment as
well. By linking automation technology and safety technology, you get full
machine security in one system. IO-Link communicates down to the last meter
and provides both sensor/actuator details as well as safety information.
With Balluff smart safety you reliably secure your modular packaging lines.
Our Safety-Hub is simple to integrate, responds fast and can replace the control
