The monitoring of product formulation is of significance in the performance and management of many manufacturing industries such as fast-moving consumable goods (FMCG) production. Industrial Tomography Systems (ITS) has developed an industrial tomography meter that utilizes electrical process tomography technology and is able to offer an accurate in-line concentration/quality measurement. The industrial meter has already been applied to manufacturing applications with good performance. The same technology could be more widely applied to FMCG industries such as in-line product recognition to reduce waste and increase productivity in continuous production lines. The technology can be further extended to real-time measurement of clean in place (CIP).
