Interesting insights: Johannes Seidel explained the development and manufacture of the pioneering HEUFT solutions as regards quality assurance to the students during a tour of the company.

Study trip with a high level of practical experience: Weihenstephan visitors see their standards fulfilled at HEUFT

All the devices of the HEUFT SPECTRUM TX series from 1999 upwards fulfil these interface standards for the communication between machine control systems and higher–order IT units masterfully thereby making the simple and cost–effective implementation of PDA systems possible.  HEUFT devices and foreign devices can be connected without a problem via the Weihenstephan interface in the HEUFT PROFILER line analysis tool.  The HEUFT xio makes the integration of sensors which do not have their own Ethernet interface as well as the incorporation of machines from other manufacturers possible.

The HEUFT PROFILER analyses the efficiency of a production line

That is why HEUFT was the first call for the prospective master brewers and drink technologists during a study trip lasting several days.  The group of 40 students, together with the graduate engineer and assistant professor André Sorgatz at whose chair of food technology the Weihenstephan standards were established, were guided through the HEUFT plant at "Am Wind" by the sales managers Johannes Seidel, Uwe Frey and Markus Oster.

Naturally, the subjects networking capability and interface problems played an important part at the same time.  After all HEUFT is the manufacturer who introduced this technology with graphical user interface which increases efficiency for the first time to the market.  Whether devices which check fill levels, find leaks or foreign objects, carry out rejections, high–speed labelling or carefully transport containers the guests were impressed with the plug and play solutions, the efficiency of which can be analysed with the HEUFT PROFILER.  Their conclusion:  HEUFT has not only co–developed the Weihenstephan standards but also implemented them successfully.
