SENSOR SOFTWARE UP FOR INDUSTRY 4.0 INNOVATION AWARD
Summary
Exploiting the benefits of the IO-Link standard continues to be one of the most important drivers in the development of today’s automated and robotic systems across many manufacturing applications. In response to this Sensing and Instrumentation specialists BAUMER launched their BSS Sensor Suite software around a year ago to help engineers to test, implement and evaluate IO-Link devices. Today more than 1400 users are benefitting from the significant advantages of this software for the evaluation, selection and parameterisation of their IO-Link devices. BSS enables users to access a wide variety of sensor functions and settings for new control models, such as Dual Channel and new parameterisation concepts. The success of the BSS sensor software has been acknowledged with it reaching the final round of the prestigious Industrie 4.0 Innovation Awards 2022.
