Bayer’s new supply center aims to implement an integrated management system by utilizing advanced digital technologies while aligning with German standards. As a leading innovator in the field of weighing, Minebea Intec’s solutions cater to Bayer’s requirements. For instance, the indicator X2, which features both Profibus-DP bus communication and 4-20 mA analog output, integrates easily into original systems and provides room for future upgrades and expansions at the same time.

Among Bayer’s 11 sets of tanks, the measurement range varies from a maximum of 9 tons to a minimum of 4 tons. If traditional calibration methods were used, each tank would need to be loaded to 80% –100% of its capacity—a process that is timeconsuming, labor-intensive, and often hindered by the structural limitations. By contrast, the smart calibration allows for weightless calibration. Once the operator enters each load cell’s unique sensitivity coefficient (Cn), indicator will automatically calculate the loading data required for calibration. This feature alone can save at least 3 days during the installation and commissioning phase. During subsequent periodic calibrations, the smart calibration function continues to simplify operations and minimize downtime.

Minebea Intec offers more than just solutions. The professional team has more than 150 years of experience and expertise. From planning to commissioning and maintenance, Minebea Intec offers its customers support every step of the way to ensure a smooth process.
