SHOW CASE

Smart Monitoring of Aerogel production

• High porosity > 95 % therefore low density,
• Excellent insulators, many different materials in use
• Fibers can be used to create new applications

Process for aerogel fiber production is still very new and not well understood.

Taking the lab scale process plant and integrating digital sensors and controllers allows for a better process understanding through the availability of more data.

Process and product optimization can be carried out with the used data

The goal of this showcase is to give an example that even small and new processes can be a viable option for the implementation of smart monitoring

A few simple steps can be undertaken to transform most machines to IoT ready processes with access to all the data and parameters from not only the interface
