Abstract
It is provided an apparatus for detecting a transition from a first phase to a second phase in a processing line. The apparatus comprises a first sensor for gathering data indicating product concentration, a second sensor for gathering data indicating product concentration. The first sensor is placed upstream of the second sensor. Further, the apparatus comprises a control device configured to receive a first data set from the first sensor and a second data set from the second sensor, and to calibrate the second sensor by comparing the second data set with the first data set.
Claims15
An apparatus for detecting a transition from a first phase to a second phase in a processing line, said apparatus comprising:
- a first sensor for gathering data indicating product concentration,
- a second sensor for gathering data indicating product concentration, wherein said first sensor is placed upstream said second sensor, and
- a control device configured to receive a first data set from said first sensor and a second data set from said second sensor, and to calibrate said second sensor by comparing said second data set with said first data set.
A kit of parts configured to be applied on a processing line such that a transition from a first phase to a second phase in a processing line can be detected, said kit of parts comprising
- a first sensor for gathering data indicating product concentration,
- a second sensor for gathering data indicating product concentration, wherein said first sensor is arranged to be placed upstream said second sensor, and
- a control device configured to receive a first data set from said first sensor and a second data set from said second sensor, and to calibrate said second sensor by comparing said second data set with said first data set.
A method for detecting a transition from a first phase to a second phase in a processing line, said method comprising
- receiving a first data set indicating product concentration from a first sensor,
- receiving a second data set indicating product concentration from a second sensor, wherein said second sensor is placed downstream said first sensor, and
- calibrating said second sensor by comparing said second data set with said first data set.
