Measurement, Control & Process Technology

Measurement, control and process technology is becoming increasingly important in industrial processes and production methods as well as in automobiles, primarily for reasons of quality and safety. Many processes involve inconspicuous Heraeus products, such as platinum temperature sensors or plastic-metal composite parts. Manufacturers of process thermometers take advantage of the platinum sensors in thin-film technology, because in thermal processes these deliver precise measurements even at 850°C. Special temperature sensors also ensure seamless process and quality control in the production of steel or aluminum. Plastic-metal composite parts are indispensable today as casings for innovative sensors in the automotive industry, such as sensors for emissions and engine management systems, for exhaust gas control or for safety technology.
